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.** شُهُودِي لِعَيْنِ الذَّاتِ طَيَّبَ لِي الْعَيْشَا / قَدِيمًا أَتَانِي نُـــورُهُ حَيْثُمَــــا رُشَّــــا

_Shuhūdī li-‘ayni adh-dhāti ṭayyaba lī al-‘ayshā / Qadīman atānī nūruhu ḥaythumā rushshā_

My witnessing of the Essence of the Source has made my life sweet; his light reached me long ago, wherever it was sprinkled.

**2.** أَتَانِي هَوَاهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَعْرِفَ الْـهَــــوَى / فَإِنِّي مُحِبُّ الْمُصْطَفَى الدَّهْرَ مَا غَشَّا

_Atānī hawāhu qabla an a‘rifa al-hawā / Fa-innī muḥibbu al-Muṣṭafā ad-dahra mā ghashshā_

Passion for him came to me before I even knew what passion was; indeed, I am a lover of the Chosen One for as long as time endures.

**3.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ رَبِّهِ حَــــــقَّ قَــــدْرِهِ / بِهَا حَيْثُـمَا أَلْـقَى الْأَمِينَ الْعَلِي بَشَّا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu rabbihi ḥaqqa qadrihi / Bihā ḥaythumā alqā al-amīna al-‘alī bashshā_

Upon him be the prayer of his Lord as is his true due, through which—wherever I meet the Trustworthy, Exalted One—he smiles.

**4.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ رَبِّــهِ حَـــــــقَّ قَــــدْرِهِ / مَدَى الدَّهْرِ مِنْ عَبْدٍ خَدِيمٍ لَهُ هِشَّا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu rabbihi ḥaqqa qadrihi / Madā ad-dahri min ‘abdin khadīmin lahu hisshā_

Upon him be the prayer of his Lord as is his true due, for all eternity, from a servant and helper who is joyful for him.

**5.** عَلَيْهِ صَـــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ / صَلاَةً تَزِينُ الْعَبْدَ وَالطِّرْسَ وَالنَّقْشَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan tazīnu al-‘abda wal-ṭirsa wan-naqshā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, a prayer that beautifies the servant, the parchment, and the calligraphy.

**6.** فَمَنْ عَاشَ يَوْمًا بِاحْتِرَافٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ / فَإِنِّي بِذِكْرٍ لِلْحَبِيـــبِ أَرَى الْعَيْشَـا

_Fa-man ‘āsha yawman bi-ḥtirāfin wa-ḥikmatin / Fa-innī bi-dhikrin lil-ḥabībi arā al-‘ayshā_

While some live their days through craft and worldly wisdom, I find the true meaning of life in the remembrance of the Beloved.

**7.** عَلَيْهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / بِهِ الدَّهْرَ لاَ أَلْقَى الَّذِي يُورِثُ الطَّيْشَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Bihi ad-dahra lā alqā alladhī yūrithu al-ṭayshā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through him, I never encounter across time that which causes recklessness or folly.

**8.** عَلَى الدُّرَّةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ أَزْكَى صَلاَتِـــهِ / صَلاَةً وَتَسْلِيمًا تُضِيءُ لَنَا الْغَطْشَا

_‘Alā al-durrati al-bayḍā’i azkā ṣalātihi / Ṣalātan wa-taslīman tuḍī’u lanā al-ghaṭshā_

Upon the "White Pearl" be His purest prayers—a prayer and salutation that illuminates the darkness for us.

**9.** عَلَيْهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ فِي كُــــلِّ طَرْفَــــةٍ / بِهَا يَلْتَقِي الْأَعْدَاءُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِي بَطْشَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi fī kulli ṭarfatin / Bihā yaltaqī al-a‘dā’u min ḥaḍratī baṭshā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah in every blinking of an eye, through which enemies encounter a forceful strike from my presence.

**10.** عَلَيْهِ مَــــعَ الْآلِ الْكِرَامِ وَصَحْبِهِ / صَلاَةٌ مِنَ الْمَوْلَى تُرَشُّ بِهَا رَشَّا

_‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi / Ṣalātun mina al-mawlā turashshu bihā rashshā_

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions, be a prayer from the Lord that is showered down in abundance.
