From [Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/qasaaid/691f292bc02b144934a4ec1f) by [Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/authors/69172463686829cc1d041df5)

**1.** نَفَى عَنْ فُـؤَادِي أَحْمَدُ الْغَمَّ وَالْكَرْبَا / وَثَبَّتَ فِيهِ الذِّكْرَ وَالشَّوْقَ وَالْحُبَّـا

_Nafā ‘an fu’ādī Aḥmadu al-ghamma wa al-karbā / Wa thabbata fīhi al-dhikara wa al-shawqa wa al-ḥubbā_

Ahmad has banished grief and distress from my heart, and firmly established within it remembrance, longing, and love.

**2.** فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ أُنْسِـــــــي وَرَاحَتِــــــي / وَرُوحِي وَرَيْحَانِي مَتَى أَخْرِقُ الْحُجْبَا

_Fa-inna Rasūla Allāhi unsī wa rāḥatī / Wa rūḥī wa rayḥānī matā akhriqu al-ḥujbā_

For the Messenger of Allah is my intimacy and my rest, my soul and my sweet fragrance whenever the veils are pierced.

**3.** مُحَمَّدُ مَحْمُودٌ وَأَحْمَدُ حَامِــــــــدٌ / عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ مَا طَهَّرَ الْقَلْبَـــــا

_Muḥammadu Maḥmūdun wa Aḥmadu Ḥāmidun / ‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi mā ṭahhara al-qalba_

Muhammad is the praised one and Ahmad is the praiser; upon him be the blessings of Allah as long as he purifies the heart.

**4.** تَأَخَّرَ بَعْدَ الرُّسْلِ وَهْوَ مُقَـــــــدَّمٌ / فَضِدٌّ بِضِدٍّ حَيَّرَ الْعَقْلَ وَاللُّبَّـــــا

_Ta’akhkhara ba‘da al-rusli wa huwa muqaddamun / Fa-ḍiddun bi-ḍiddin ḥayyara al-‘aqla wa al-lubba_

He came last after the Messengers yet he is foremost; a paradox that has bewildered the intellect and the mind.

**5.** وَيُمْرِضُنِي ذِكْرَاهُ طَوْرًا وَتَــارَةً / يُمَرِّضُنِي هَا ذَاكَ أَحْوَالُ مَنْ حَبَّــا

_Wa yumriḍunī dhikrāhu ṭawran wa tāratan / Yumarriḍunī hā dhāka aḥwālu man ḥabbā_

His remembrance makes me "ill" with longing at times, and at other times it heals me; such are the states of one who loves.

**6.** تَصِيرُ جِبَالِي هَيْبَةً مِنْ جَلاَلِــــهِ / إِذَا لاَحَ دَكًّا فَلْتَصِلْ مُغْرَمًا صَبَّا

_Taṣīru jibālī haybatan min jalālihī / Idhā lāḥa dakkān faltasil mughraman ṣabbā_

My mountains (egos/firmness) crumble out of awe for his majesty when he appears; so reach out to an infatuated, ardent lover.

**7.** يَلُومُونَنِي جَهْلاً وَأَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّ مَنْ / تَجَرَّعَ مِنْ مِعْشَارِ مَا ذُقْتُهُ صَبَّا

_Yalūmunanī jahlan wa ayqaṇtu anna man / Tajarra‘a min mi‘shāri mā dhuqtuhu ṣabbā_

They blame me out of ignorance, but I am certain that whoever tasted even a tenth of what I have tasted would be overcome with passion.

**8.** عَلَى أَنَّنِي رَاضٍ بِأَنْ قِيلَ جَاهِلٌ / سَفِيهٌ وَإِنْ قَالُوا فَتَبًّا لَــــهُ تَبَّـــا

_‘Alā annanī rāḍin bi-an qīla jāhilun / Safīhun wa in qālū fatabba lahu tabbā_

However, I am content to be called ignorant or foolish; and if they say "destruction to him," then let it be.

**9.** إِذَا كُنْتَ تَصْفُو لِي وَجَنْبُكَ صَالِحٌ / فَقَدْ طَفِئَتْ مَا أَوْقَدُوا كُلُّهُمْ حَرْبَــــا

_Idhā kunta taṣfū lī wa janbuka ṣāliḥun / Faqad ṭafi’at mā awqadū kulluhum ḥarbā_

As long as you (the Prophet) are pure toward me and your side is favorable, then all the wars they have ignited have been extinguished.

**10.** رَضِيتُ بِهِ طُولَ الزَّمَانِ وَدِينِهِ / وَرَبِّي إِلَـهِي قَدْ رَضِيتُ بِهِ رَبَّا

_Raḍītu bihi ṭūla al-zamāni wa dīnīhi / Wa rabbī ilāhī qad raḍītu bihi rabbā_

I have been pleased with him and his religion for all time, and I have been pleased with my Lord as my God.

**11.** فَحَسْبِي إِلَـهِي لَمْ أَرُمْ نَفْعَ غَيْـــــــرِهِ / وَلاَ ضَيْرَهُ أَخْشَى فَحَسْبِي بِهِ حَسْبَا

_Fa-ḥasbī ilāhī lam arum naf‘a ghayruhu / Wa lā ḍayrahu akhshā fa-ḥasbī bihi ḥasbā_

My God is sufficient for me, I seek no benefit from any other, nor do I fear any harm; He is enough for me.

**12.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ الْحَقِّ فِي كُــلِّ لَحْظَــــةٍ / وَتَشْمَلُ أَزْوَاجًا وَتَسْتَغْرِقُ الصَّحْبَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu al-ḥaqqi fī kulli laḥẓah / Wa tashmalu azwājan wa tastaghriqu al-ṣaḥbā_

Upon him be the prayer of the Truth in every moment, and may it include his wives and encompass all his companions.
