From Ad-Dawaawiinu s-Sitta · الدواوين الست by Sheikh Ibrahim Nyass
أُجِيرُ لِمَـــنْ يَــأْوِي إِلَيَّ لِأَنَّنِـــي
خَدِيــــمٌ لِطَـــهَ الْـهَاشِمِـيِّ أَجِيــرُ
Ujīru li-man ya’wī ilayya li-annanī
Khadīmun li-Ṭāhā al-Hāshimiyyi ajīru
I grant refuge to whoever seeks it from me, for I am a servant and a protégé of the Hashemite Taha.
أَسِيــــرُ لِفَكِّــي لِلْأَسَــارَى لِأَنَّنِـــي
لَدَى حَضْرَةِ الْمَاحِي الضَّلاَلِ أَسِيرُ
Asīru li-fakkī lil-asārā li-annanī
Ladā ḥaḍrati al-Māḥī al-ḍalāli asīru
I march to liberate the captives, for I am a captive within the presence of the Eraser of misguidance.
أَمِيــرٌ لِكُـــلِّ الْمُسْنِتِيــــــنَ لِأَنَّمَـــا
حَبِيبِي وَمَمْدُوحِــي الْجَلِيلُ أَمِيــرُ
Amīrun li-kulli al-musnitīna li-annamā
Ḥabībī wa-mamdūḥī al-jalīlu amīru
I am a leader for all who suffer drought, because my beloved and the one I praise is the Exalted Leader.
نَصِيـرُ إِذَا خَافُـــوا بِأَمْــنٍ فَرَبُّنَــا
لِطَــهَ وَمَنْ يَأْوِي إِلَيْــــهِ نَصِيــرُ
Naṣīru idhā khāfū bi-amnin fa-rabbunā
Li-Ṭāhā wa-man ya’wī ilayhi naṣīru
I am a helper whenever they fear; our Lord is the Helper of Taha and whoever seeks refuge in him.
فَشَوْقِي إِلَى عَبْـــدِ الْإِلَـــهِ مُحَمَّــدٍ
حَمَانِي مَنَامِـي وَالدُّمُـــوعُ تَفُـــورُ
Fa-shawqī ilā ‘abdi al-ilāhi Muḥammadin
Ḥamānī manāmī wad-dumū‘u tafūru
My longing for the servant of God, Muhammad, has forbidden me from sleep while my tears overflow.
وَأُنْشِــدُ مَا قَــالَ الْمُتَيَّـــمُ دَائِمًـــا
وَقَلْبِـــي بِهِ هَادِي الْعِبَــادِ بَشِيــرُ
Wa-unshidu mā qāla al-mutayyamu dā’iman
Wa-qalbī bihi hādī al-‘ibādi bashīru
I ever chant what the infatuated lover said, while my heart finds glad tidings through the Guide of the servants.
"أَسِرْبَ الْقَطَا هَلْ مَنْ يُعِيرُ جَنَاحَهُ
لَعَلِّـي إِلَـى مَـنْ قَـدْ هَوِيــتُ أَطِيـرُ"
“A-sirba al-qaṭā hal man yu‘īru janāḥahu
La‘allī ilā man qad hawaytu aṭīru”
"O flock of sandgrouse, is there one who will lend his wing? Perhaps I might fly to the one for whom I have fallen in love."
أُخَاطِبُ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ وَهْوَ مَعِي وَقَدْ
وَجَمْـــتُ وَشِعْـــرِي لِلْمَقَــامِ يُشِيــرُ
Ukhāṭibu khayra al-nāsi wa-huwa ma‘ī wa-qad
Wajamtu wa-shi‘rī lil-maqāmi yushīru
I address the Best of Mankind while he is with me; I am struck with awe and my poetry points to his high station.
تَرَانِي وَإِنِّي غَائِــــبٌ فِيهِ حَاضِــرًا
وَفَــــاتَ لِسَانًــا مَــا تَكِــنُّ صُــدُورُ
Tarānī wa-innī ghā’ibun fīhi ḥāḍiran
Wa-fāta lisānan mā takinnu ṣudūru
You see me—though I am vanished in him—present; my tongue fails to express what my chest conceals.
فَبَيْعِي وَحَرْثِي ثُـــــمَّ كَسْبِي بِذِكْــرِهِ
وَذَلِــــكَ بَيْــــــعٌ لاَ تَـــــرَاهُ يَبُــــورُ
Fa-bay‘ī wa-ḥarthī thumma kasbī bi-dhikrihi
Wa-dhālika bay‘un lā tarāhu yabūru
My commerce, my harvest, and my profit are through his remembrance; that is a trade you will never see perish.
غَنِيــتُ بِمَـــدْحِ الْمُصْطَفَـــى وَوِدَادِهِ
بِـــهِ بَـــانَ هَدْيِـــي وَالْفُــؤَادُ بَصِيـــرُ
Ghanītu bi-madḥi al-Muṣṭafā wa-widādihi
Bihi bāna hadyī wal-fu’ādu baṣīru
I have become wealthy through the praise and affection of the Chosen One; through him my guidance appeared and my heart became perceptive.
مُحَمَّـدُ مَحْمُـــودٌ وَأَحْمَـــدُ مُصْطَفًــى
مُقَفًّــــــى أَمِيـــــنٌ عَاقِــــبٌ وَمُنِيـــرُ
Muḥammadu Maḥmūdun wa-Aḥmadu Muṣṭafā
Muqaffā Amīnun ‘Āqibun wa-Munīru
Muhammad is the Praised One, Ahmad is the Chosen, the Successor, the Trustworthy, the Final, and the Illuminator.
وَأَحْمَــــدُ مُخْتَـارٌ رَحِيـــمٌ وَحَاشِــرٌ
سِــــرَاجٌ بَشِيـــــرٌ حَامِــــدٌ وَنَذِيـــرُ
Wa-Aḥmadu Mukhtārun Raḥīmun wa-Ḥāshir
Sirājun Bashīrun Ḥāmidun wa-Nadhīru
Ahmad is the Elect, the Merciful, the Assembler, the Lamp, the Bringer of Tidings, the Praiser, and the Warner.
عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ
لِيَشْفَــــعَ فِي ، يَــــوْمَ السَّمَـاءُ تَمُـورُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Li-yashfa‘a fiyya yawma al-samā’u tamūru
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, that he may intercede for me on the day the sky is in commotion.
تَسَتَّرْتُ عَامِي فِي ظِلاَلِـــكَ نَاصِرِي
فَدَامَـــتْ سُتُـــورِي إِذْ تُــزَالُ سُتُــورُ
Tasattartu ‘āmī fī ẓilālika nāṣirī
Fa-dāmat sutūrī idh tuzālu sutūru
I have sought cover this year in your shadows, my helper; so my veils remained as others' veils were removed.
أُجَـــــاوِرُهُ وَهْـــوَ الْوَزِيـــرُ لِخَالِقِــي
فَنِلْــــتُ جِـــــوَارًا فَالْوَزِيــــرُ يُجِيــرُ
Ujāwiruhu wa-huwa al-wazīru li-khāliqī
Fa-niltu jiwāran fal-wazīru yujīru
I am his neighbor, and he is the Intermediary (Vizier) to my Creator; so I attained neighborly protection, and the Vizier grants refuge.
أُغَادِي لَدَى الْمَاحِي صَبُوحَ وِصَالِهِ
فَدَامَ سُــــرُورِي وَالشُّـــرُورُ تَطِيــرُ
Ughādī lada al-Māḥī ṣabūḥa wiṣālihi
Fa-dāma surūrī wal-shurūru taṭīru
I start my mornings with the morning-drink of union with the Eraser; thus my joy remained while evils flew away.
إِذَا طَرِبُوا مِنْ ذِكْرِ سَلْمَى وَفَرْتَنَـى
فَلِي فِــي مَدِيـــحِ الْـهَاشِمِـــيِّ حُبُــورُ
Idhā ṭaribū min dhikri Salmā wa-Fartanā
Falī fī madīḥi al-Hāshimiyyi ḥubūru
While others are moved by the mention of Salma and Fartana, I find my delight in the praise of the Hashemite.
أَنِسْتُ بِهِ يَوْمِــــي وَأَنْسِــجُ مَدْحَــهُ
فَيَوْمِــي بِيُمْــــنِ الْـهَاشِمِـــيِّ قَصِيــرُ
Anistu bihi yawmī wa-ansiju madḥahu
Fa-yawmī bi-yumni al-Hāshimiyyi qaṣīru
I find intimacy with him throughout my day and I weave his praise; so my day, by the blessing of the Hashemite, is short.
وَلَيْلِــــيَ مِــنْ قُرْبِــي إِلَيْــهِ مَلَـــذَّةٌ
بِهِ طَــابَ أَعْوَامِي وَطَابَ شُهُـــورُ
Wa-laylī min qurbī ilayhi maladh-dhatun
Bihi ṭāba a‘wāmī wa-ṭāba shuhūru
My night, through my proximity to him, is a delight; through him my years and my months have become sweet.
مَحَوْتُ بِهِ عِـــزَّ الْأُلَــى يَخْذُلُونَنِــي
لِرَبِّــي أُمُـــورُ الْعَالَمِيــنَ تَصِيـــرُ
Maḥawtu bihi ‘izza al-ulā yakhdhulūnanī
Li-rabbī umūru al-‘ālamīna taṣīru
Through him, I erased the "glory" of those who would fail me; to my Lord all affairs of the worlds return.
أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ يَرَى النَّاسُ مَا أَرَى
وَلَكِــنْ صُــــــــدُورُ الْعَارِفِينَ قُبُــــورُ
Alā layta shi‘rī hal yarā al-nāsu mā arā
Wa-lākin ṣudūru al-‘ārifīna qubūru
O, if only I knew whether people see what I see; but the chests of the gnostics are graves (for secrets).
مَحَا الْمُصْطَفَى مَا قَـــدْ رَأَيْتُـــمْ وَإِنَّــهُ
أَتَـــــى بِسِـــرَاجٍ فِـــي الْبِــــلاَدِ يُنِيـــرُ
Maḥā al-Muṣṭafā mā qad ra’aytum wa-innahu
Atā bi-sirājin fī al-bilādi yunīru
The Chosen One erased what you have seen, and indeed he came with a lamp that illuminates the lands.
أَلَمْ يَقْصِــمِ الْعُـــرْبَ الْمُفَخَّـــمُ أَمْرُهَــا
وَأَذْعَــــنَ عُجْـــــمٌ وَالْفُـــؤَادُ قَرِيـــرُ
Alam yaqṣimi al-‘urba al-mufakh-khamu amruhā
Wa-adh‘ana ‘ujmun wal-fu’ādu qarīru
Did he not break the Arabs whose affairs were once so formidable? And the non-Arabs submitted while the heart was at peace.
سَلِ الْعُرْبَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ وَفَتْحٍ وَخَنْــدَقٍ
مَذَاقُهُمُ فِـــــي ذِي الْحُـــرُوبِ مَرِيـــرُ
Sali al-‘urba ‘an Badrin wa-Fatḥin wa-Khandaqin
Madhāquhum fī dhī al-ḥurūbi marīru
Ask the Arabs about Badr, the Conquest, and the Trench; their taste in these wars was bitter.
وَقَدْ رَاعَهُمْ فِي بَطْـــــنِ مَكَّــةَ خَيْلُــهُ
لِوَاءُ نَذِيـــــرِ الْخَلْــــقِ فَــــوْقُ يَطِيــرُ
Wa-qad rā‘ahum fī baṭni Makkata khayluhu
Liwā’u nadhīri al-khalqi fawqu yaṭīru
His cavalry terrified them in the heart of Mecca, while the banner of the Warner of creation flew high above.
وَصَاحِبُهُ الشَّهْــمُ الْـهُـمَـــامُ وَزِيـــرُهُ
عَتِيــــقٌ لَـــدَى الْآرَاءِ فَهْـــوَ مُشِيـــرُ
Wa-ṣāḥibuhu al-shahmu al-humāmu wazīruhu
‘Atīqun ladā al-ārā’i fa-huwa mushīru
His companion is the noble and brave one, his Vizier (Abu Bakr); the ancient one in wisdom who is the counselor.
وَثَالِثُهُمْ بَدْرُ الدُّجَى صَـــارِمُ الْعِــدَى
حَبِيبِــــــي وَذَا لِلْمُؤْمِنِيــــنَ أَمِيـــــرُ
Wa-thālithuhum badru al-dujā ṣārimu al-‘idā
Ḥabībī wa-dhā lil-mu’minīna amīru
The third of them is the moon of the darkness and the sharp edge against enemies (Umar), my beloved and the leader of the believers.
وَعُثْمَانُ ذُو النُّورَيْنِ حَافِظُ ذِكْرِهِ
وَقَدْ تَـــمَّ مِنْـهُ لِلْأَمِيــــنِ بُـــرُورُ
Wa-‘Uthmānu dhū al-nūrayni ḥāfiẓu dhikrihi
Wa-qad tamma minhu lil-Amīni burūru
And Uthman, the possessor of the two lights, the guardian of his remembrance; through him, loyalty to the Trustworthy one was perfected.
وَصِنْوُ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ لَيْثُ عِدَائِهِ
فَكُلُّ كَمِـــيٍّ قَـــدْ أَتَاهُ جَـــزُورُ
Wa-ṣinwu Rasūli Allāhi laythu ‘idā’ihi
Fa-kullu kamiyyin qad atāhu jazūru
And the cousin/brother of the Messenger of Allah, the lion against his enemies (Ali); every brave warrior became like slaughtered meat before him.
بِسِرِّهِمُ يَا رَبِّ فَانْــفِ كُرُوبَنَــا
عَلَى رَغْمِ مَنْ هُو لِلْعِبَادِ غَرُورُ
Bi-sirrihim yā rabbi fanfi kurūbanā
‘Alā raghmi man huwa lil-‘ibādi gharūru
By their secret, O Lord, remove our distress, despite the one who is a deceiver to the servants.
أَيَا سَيِّدِي سَلْ خَالِقِي نَصْرَ دِينِهِ
فَأَنْتَ حَقِيــــقٌ بِالسُّــؤَالِ جَدِيــرُ
Ayā sayyidī sal khāliqī naṣra dīnihi
Fa-anta ḥaqīqun bil-su’āli jadīru
O my Master, ask my Creator for the victory of His religion; for you are truly worthy and deserving of the request.
وَرَبِّي جَدِيرٌ بِالْعَطَاءِ وَإِنَّـــهُ
عَلَى كُـلِّ شَيْءٍ شَــاءَهُ لَقَدِيــرُ
Wa-rabbī jadīrun bil-‘aṭā’i wa-innahu
‘Alā kulli shay’in shā’ahu la-qadīru
My Lord is worthy of giving; indeed, He is powerful over everything He wills.
فَحَقَّ لَنَا الْبُشْرَى وَدَامَ سُرُورُنَا
بِفَضْــــلِ إِلَـهِـي فَالْإِلَــهُ شَكُــورُ
Fa-ḥaqqa lanā al-bushrā wa-dāma surūrunā
Bi-faḍli ilāhī fal-ilāhu shakūru
We are entitled to glad tidings and our joy has remained, by the grace of my God; for God is most appreciative.
يُعَزِّزُ مَنْ قَدْ شَــاءَ وَهْوَ يُذِلُّــهُ
فَمِنْهُ الْعَطَا وَالْمَنْعُ وَهْوَ خَبِيــرُ
Yu‘azzizu man qad shā’a wa-huwa yudhilluhu
Fa-minhu al-‘aṭā wal-man‘u wa-huwa khabīru
He strengthens whomever He wills and He humbles him; from Him is the giving and the withholding, and He is the Expert.
فَأَعْطَى رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ وَهْوَ حَبِيبُهُ
فَكُـــــلُّ كَبِيــرٍ عِنْــدَهُ لَصَغِيــرُ
Fa-a‘ṭā Rasūla Allāhi wa-huwa ḥabībuhu
Fa-kullu kabīrin ‘indahu la-ṣaghīru
He gave to the Messenger of Allah, for he is His beloved; so every great thing, compared to him, is small.
أَبُوهُ خَلِيـلٌ وَهْوَ مُوسَــــى كَلِيمُــهُ
وَعِيسَى وَهُو رُوحٌ وَنُوحُ شَكُورُ
Abūhu khalīlun wa-huwa Mūsā kalīmuhu
Wa-‘Īsā wa-huwa rūḥun wa-Nūḥu shakūru
His father was the Intimate (Abraham), and he is Moses the Interlocutor, and Jesus who is a spirit, and the grateful Noah.
و مَا كَابْنِ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ فِيهِمْ جَمِيعِهِمْ
فَقَدْ ضَنَّ عَنْ شِبْهِ الْأَمِينِ دُهُورُ
Wa-mā kabni ‘abdi Allāhi fīhim jamī‘ihim
Fa-qad ḍanna ‘an shibhi al-Amīni duhūru
But none among them is like the son of Abdullah; for the ages have been stingy in producing a likeness of the Trustworthy one.
وَكُلُّهُمُ بَحْرٌ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ زَاخِـــرٌ
وَكُلٌّ لَدَى بَحْرِ الْأَمِينِ غَدِيـرُ
Wa-kulluhum baḥrun mina al-‘ilmi zākhirun
Wa-kullun ladā baḥri al-Amīni ghadīru
Each of them is a surging sea of knowledge, yet each is but a small pond compared to the sea of the Trustworthy one.
فَشَمْسُهُمُ خَيْــرُ الْأَنَامِ وَكُلُّهُــمْ
كَوَاكِبُهُ وَسْــــطَ الصَّفَاءِ تَــدُورُ
Fa-shamsuhumu khayru al-anāmi wa-kulluhum
Kawākibuhu wasṭa al-ṣafā’i tadūru
Their sun is the Best of Mankind, while all of them are his stars revolving in the midst of purity.

يَتِمُّ بِهَا لِي فِي الصَّلاَةِ حُضُورُ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Bihā yujbaru al-islāmu wa-huwa kasīru

رَجَائِي لَدَى خَيْرِ الْأَنَامِ كَبِيرُ

‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Fa-qablī nāla al-mādiḥīna quṣūru
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; before me, previous praisers attained their own high palaces.
عَلَيْهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
قَلِيلُ مَدِيـــــحِ الْهَاشِمِيِّ كَثِيــرُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Qalīlu madīḥi al-Hāshimiyyi kathīru
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; the "little" praise of the Hashemite is actually a great deal.

أَتَــــاكَ عُبَيْـدٌ عَاجِـزٌ وَفَقِيــرُ

خَدِيمٌ ضَعِيفُ الْحَالِ وَهْوَ وَقِيرُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Khadīmun ḍa‘īfu al-ḥāli wa-huwa waqīru

فَفِعْلِي قَبِيـحٌ وَالرَّقِيــبُ بَصِيــرُ
‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Fa-fi‘lī qabīḥun wal-raqību baṣīru

غَرَامِي وَتَهْيَامِي عَلَيَّ أَمِيرُ
‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu
Gharāmī wa-tehyāmī ‘alayya amīru
Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; my passion and infatuation are my commanders over me.
عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
يَجِيشُ غَرَامِي فِي الْحَشَا وَيَثُورُ

Khadīmun li-Ṭāhā al-Hāshimiyyi ajīru
