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.** قَدِ اسْتَأْصَلَ الْمَحْبُوبُ كُلِّي وَجُمْلَتِي / وَأَوْصَلَنِي وَالْغَيْرِيَــــــاتُ تَوَلَّــــتِ

_Qadi istāṣala al-maḥbūbu kullī wa jumlatī / Wa awṣalanī wal-ghayriyātu tawallatī_

The Beloved has uprooted my entire being and my whole self, and he has brought me to union while all "otherness" has retreated.

**2.** وَهَا إِنَّ هَــــذَا الْعَبْدَ غَيْبُ إِلَـهِنَـا / وَقَلْبُ الْوَرَى وَالذَّاتُ فِيهِ تَجَلَّتِ

_Wa hā inna hādhā al-‘abdu ghaybu ilahinā / Wa qalbu al-warā wa al-dhātu fīhi tajallatī_

Behold, this servant is the Unseen of our God and the heart of creation; within him, the Divine Essence has manifested.

**3.** وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ فَهْوَ بَطْنٌ وَظَاهِرٌ / فَظَاهِرُهُ عَبْدٌ وَلِلْبَطْنِ صَلَّـــــتِ

_Wa ṣallat ‘alayhi fahuwa baṭnun wa ẓāhirun / Fa-ẓāhiruhu ‘abdu wa lil-baṭni ṣallatī_

The Essence blessed him, for he is both the inward and the outward; his outward is a servant, yet it was the inward that the Essence blessed.

**4.** أَفَاضَ لَهُ مِنْهُ إِلَيْـــــهِ فَهَالَنِــــي / مُحَيَّا رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَالْعَيْنُ كَلَّـــتِ

_Afāḍa lahu minhu ilayhi fahālanī / Muḥayyā rasūli Allāhi wa al-‘aynu kallatī_

He poured forth unto him, from Him and to him; and I was awestruck by the countenance of the Messenger of Allah until my eyes grew weary.

**5.** فَتَيَّمَنِي شَوْقًــــــا وَعَــــزَّ لِقَــــاؤُهُ / إِذِ الْعِيسُ لاَ تُجْدِي وَالْأَقْدَامُ ضَلَّتِ

_Fataymanī shawqan wa ‘azza liqā’uhu / Idh al-‘īsu lā tujdi wa al-aqdāmu ḍallatī_

He enslaved me with longing, yet meeting him is difficult, for the camels are of no use and the feet have lost their way.

**6.** أَهِيمُ بِـــــــهِ طَـــوْرًا أَلَــذُّ بِذِكْـــرِهِ / فَأَسْلُو وَطَوْرًا لَمْ أَرُمْ غَيْرَ وُصْلَتِي

_Ahīmu bihi ṭawran alazzu bi-dhikrīhi / Fa-aslū wa ṭawran lam arum ghayra wuṣlatī_

At times I wander aimlessly for him, delighting in his remembrance and finding solace, and at times I seek nothing but my union.

**7.** وَطَوْرًا أَرَى أَنَّ الْحَيَاةَ مَرِيرَةٌ / وَطَوْرًا أَرَاهَا بُغْيَتِي ثُمَّ وَلَّــتِ

_Wa ṭawran arā anna al-ḥayāta marīrah / Wa ṭawran arāhā bughyatī thumma wallatī_

At times I see that life is bitter, and at times I see it as my ultimate desire, only for it to then turn away.

**8.** وَتَذْكَارُ أَطْوَارِي بِشَوْقِ حَبِيبِنَا / تُكِلُّ قِلاَمِي وَهْوَ عَيْنُ مَضَلَّتِــي

_Wa tadhkāru aṭwārī bi-shawqi ḥabībinā / Tukillu qilāmī wa huwa ‘ayna maḍallatī_

Recounting my changing states out of longing for our Beloved exhausts my pens, and it is the very essence of my bewilderment.

**9.** صَلاَةٌ عَلَى عَيْنِ الْغُيُوبِ وَغَيْبِهَا / وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ مَا الْعُيُونُ اضْمَحَلَّتِ

_Ṣalātun ‘alā ‘ayna al-ghuyūbi wa ghaybihā / Wa ālin wa ṣaḥbin mā al-‘uyūnu iḍmaḥallatī_

Prayers be upon the Essence of the Unseen Realities and their Hidden Core, and upon the family and companions as long as eyes remain.
