From Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست by Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass

عَسَانَا بِجَاهِ الْمُصْطَفَى نُرْزَقُ السُّقْيَا
فَهُـــوَ كَرِيـــمٌ مَــنْ أَتَاهُ يَنَـــلْ بُغْيَــا

ʿAsānā bi-jāhi al-Muṣṭafā nurzaqu al-suqyā
fahuwa karīmun man atāhu yanal bughyā

May we, by the rank of the Chosen One, be granted the spiritual watering, for he is a generous one; whoever comes to him attains his desire.

بَقَـــتْ سَرْمَــــــدًا آيَاتُـــهُ وَكِتَابُـــهُ
كَفَانَا مِنَ الْآيَـاتِ إِذْ زَحْــزَحَ الْغَيَّــا

Baqat sarmadan āyātuhu wa-kitābuhu
kafānā min al-āyāti idh zaḥzaḥa al-ghayyā

His signs and his Book have remained eternally; sufficient for us are the signs through which he removed all misguidance.

بِهِ قَدْ سَقَانِــــــي حُــبُّ أَحْمَــدَ قَرْقَفًــا
سَكِرْتُ فَلاَ أَصْحُو حَيَاتِي مَدَى الدُّنْيَا

Bihi qad saqānī ḥubbu Aḥmada qarqafan
sakirtu falā aṣḥū ḥayātī madā al-dunyā

Through him, the love of Ahmad has given me a pure wine to drink; I am intoxicated and shall not sober up throughout my life in this world.

سَقَى اللّٰهُ أَرْضًـــــا بِالْعَقِيـقِ وَسَلْعِــهِ
مَقَــــرَّ حَبِيـــبِ اللّٰهِ سَقْيًـــا لَـهَا سَقْيَــا

Saqā Allāhu arḍan bi-l-ʿAqīqi wa-Salʿihi
maqarra ḥabībi Allāhi suqyan lahā suqyā

May Allah water the land of Al-Aqiq and its Mount Sal’, the residence of the Beloved of Allah—may it be watered again and again.

عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
بِهَا مَوْتُ نَفْسِي وَالْفُـــؤَادُ بِهَا يَهْيَـــا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
bihā mawtu nafsī wa-l-fu’ādu bihā yaḥyā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, through which the ego dies while the heart comes to life.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
أَكُونُ بِهَا حُلْوَ الْمَمَاتِ كَذَا الْمَحْيَـــا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
akūnu bihā ḥulwa al-mamāti kadhā al-maḥyā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; through them, may my death be as sweet as my life.

عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
بِهَا أَرْتَقِي دَهْرِي إِلَى الذِّرْوَةِ الْعُلْيَا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
bihā artaqī dahrī ila al-dhirwati al-ʿulyā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; through them, I ascend throughout my time to the loftiest peak.

عَلَيْـــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
بِهَا أَبَدًا لِلْعَبْــدِ بِالْمُصْطَفَــى اللُّقْيَــا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
bihā abadan lil-ʿabdi bi-l-Muṣṭafā al-luqyā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; through them, the servant may eternally attain a meeting with the Chosen One.

عَلَيْـــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
تُدَارِكُنِي فَضْلاً لِمَا فَاتَنِــي سَعْيَــا

ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
tudārikunī faḍlan limā fātanī saʿyā

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; may they reach me with grace for all the efforts I have missed.

عَلَيْهِ مَــعَ الْآلِ الْكِــــرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ
مَدَى كَوْنِنَا بِالْمُصْطَفَى نُرْزَقُ السُّقْيَا

ʿAlayhi maʿa al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi
madā kawninā bi-l-Muṣṭafā nurzaqu al-suqyā

Upon him, along with the noble Family and his Companions, as long as we exist, may we be granted the spiritual watering through the Chosen One.
