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.** دَوَائِيَ دَائِي وَهْوَ حُبِّــــي مُحَمَّـــدَا / أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ الْـهَادِي لِمَنْ قَــدْ تَوَحَّــدَا

_Dawā’iya dā’ī wa-huwa ḥubbī Muḥammadā / Abā al-Qāsimi al-hādī li-man qad tawaḥḥadā_

My medicine is my ailment, and that is my love for Muhammad, the father of Qasim, the guide for those who declare the Oneness of God.

**2.** حَبَاكَ إِلَـــهٌ وَاسِعُ الْفَضْـلِ وَالْعَطَا / وَسِيلَتَهُ الْعُظْمَى وَدُمْـــتَ مُحَمَّـدَا

_Ḥabāka ilāhun wāsi‘u al-faḍli wal-‘aṭā / Wasīlatahu al-‘uẓmā wa-dumta muḥammadā_

A God of vast grace and giving has granted you the Greatest Means, and you remain forever the Praiseworthy one.

**3.** لَخَيْرَ رَسُولٍ جِئْتَ أَنْصَـــحَ مُنْــذِرٍ / وَخَيْرَ شَفِيـعٍ خَيْرَ مَنْ أَجْزَلَ النَّدَى

_La-khayra rasūlin ji’ta anṣaḥa mundhirin / Wa-khayra shafī‘in khayra man ajzala al-nadā_

What an excellent Messenger you are—the most sincere warner—and the best intercessor, the best of those who gave generously.

**4.** وَإِنِّـــي رَسُـــولَ اللّٰهِ فِيــــكَ مُتَيَّــمٌ / فَلَمْ أَتَّخِـــذْ خِـــلاًّ سِـــوَاكَ وَسَيِّــدَا

_Wa-innī Rasūla Allāhi fīka mutayyamun / Fa-lam attakhidh khillan siwāka wa-sayyidā_

Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, I am enslaved by love for you; I have taken no intimate friend nor master besides you.

**5.** فَسُسْ لِيَ دَهْرِي يَا أَمِينُ فَــلاَ أُرَى / أُقَاسِي عَنَاءً مِــــنْ عَرِيبٍ تَمَـــرَّدَا

_Fa-sus liya dahrī yā amīnu fa-lā urā / Uqāsī ‘anā’an min ‘arībin tamarradā_

So govern my time for me, O Trustworthy one, so that I may not be seen suffering distress from any rebellious person.

**6.** وَزِدْ لِيَ حُبِّــــي فِـــي الْحَبِيبِ فَإِنَّنِــي / رَأَيْتُ قُصُورِي عَنْ حُقُوقٍ وَعَنْ هُدَى

_Wa-zid liya ḥubbī fī al-ḥabībi fa-innanī / Ra’aytu quṣūrī ‘an ḥuqūqin wa-‘an hudā_

And increase my love for the Beloved within me, for I have seen my own shortcomings in fulfilling rights and following guidance.

**7.** وَتَحْلُو حَيَاتِـــي ثُمَّ مَوْتِي فَإِنَّنِـــي / ضَعِيفٌ ذَلِيلٌ قَدْ فَزِعْــتُ لِأَحْمَــدَا

_Wa-taḥlū ḥayātī thumma mawtī fa-innanī / Ḍa‘īfun dhalīlun qad fazi‘tu li-Aḥmadā_

May my life and then my death become sweet, for I am weak and lowly, and I have fled for refuge to Ahmad.

**8.** حَلاَوَةُ مَوْتِي وَاتِّسَــاعٌ لِمَضْجَعِــي / وَلُقْيَا حَبِيبِ اللّٰهِ أَفْضَلِ مَنْ هَـــدَا

_Ḥalāwatu mawtī wat-tisā‘un li-maḍja‘ī / Wa-luqyā ḥabībi Allāhi afḍali man hadā_

The sweetness of my death, the expansion of my resting place, and the meeting with the Beloved of Allah—the best of all who guided.

**9.** مُقَاسَاةُ أَمْرَاضٍ وَنَزْعٍ وَسَكْـــرَةٍ / تُعَوِّضُنِي عَنْهَا حُضُورًا وَمَشْهَدَا

_Muqāsātu amrāḍin wa-naz‘in wa-sakratin / Tu‘awwiḍunī ‘anhā ḥuḍūran wa-mashhadā_

May your presence and your witnessing compensate me for the suffering of illness, the throes of death, and its intoxication.

**10.** بِجَاهِ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ كَهْفِي وَمَسْنَدِي / فَلَمْ يَلْقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَـــــا لَمْ يُعَــوَّدَا

_Bi-jāhi Rasūli Allāhi kahfī wa-masnadī / Fa-lam yalqa Ibrāhīmu mā lam yu‘awwadā_

By the rank of the Messenger of Allah, my cave and my support, may Ibrahim never encounter what he is not accustomed to.

**11.** عَلَيْـــكَ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَلاَةً تُرِي عَهْدِي لَدَيْــكَ مُوَكَّــدَا

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan turī ‘ahdī ladayka mu’akkadā_

Upon you be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, a prayer that shows my covenant with you to be firmly ratified.

**12.** عَلَيْــــكَ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ / وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ قَدْ قَفَوْكَ عَلَى الْـهُدَى

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Wa-ālin wa-ṣaḥbin qad qafawka ‘ala al-hudā_

Upon you be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions who followed you upon the guidance.
