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.** وَإِنِّي أُنَسَّ الدَّهْرَ سُعْدَى كَذَا أَرْوَى / لِحُـــبِّ حَبِيـــبٍ مَــا تَذَكَّرْتُــهُ أَرْوَى

_Wa-innī unassa al-dahra Su‘dā kadhā Arwā / Li-ḥubbi ḥabībin mā tadhakkartuhu arwā_

I have been made to forget Su'da and Arwa forever, for the love of a Beloved whom I never remember but that I am quenched (Arwa).

**2.** فَإِنْ تَسْأَلُوا عَـنْ مَذْهَبِـــي وَمُتَيَّمِــي / فَحُبُّ النَّبِيِّ الْـهَاشِمِي وَهْوَ مَنْ أَهْوَى

_Fa-in tas’alū ‘an madhhabī wa-mutayyamī / Fa-ḥubbu al-nabiyyi al-Hāshimiyyi wa-huwa man ahwā_

If you ask about my creed and the object of my devotion, it is the love of the Hashemite Prophet; he is the one I love.

**3.** إِلَيْهِ مَسِيرِي وَهْوَ قَصْدِي وَمَطْلَبِي / سَبِيلِي اقْتِفَا مَا عَنْ جَلاَلَتِهِ يُــرْوَى

_Ilayhi masīrī wa-huwa qaṣdī wa-maṭlabī / Sabīlī iqtifā mā ‘an jalālatihi yurwā_

To him is my journey, he is my aim and my requirement; my path is to follow what is narrated regarding his majesty.

**4.** فَإِنْ مَنَّ لِي بِالْوَصْلِ يَوْمًا مُحَمَّدٌ / شَفَيْتُ غَلِيلاً إِذْ مَسَافَتُهُ تُطْــوَى

_Fa-in manna lī bil-waṣli yawman Muḥammadun / Shafaytu ghalīlan idh masāfatuhu tuṭwā_

If Muhammad ever favors me with union one day, I shall heal my intense thirst as the distance is folded.

**5.** وَمَـنْ صَــدَّ عَنِّي وَالْأَمِيــنُ مُوَاصِلِـي / وَمَنْ مَنَّ لِي بِالْوَصْلِ سِيَّانِ فِي الْجَدْوَى

_Wa-man ṣadda ‘annī wal-Amīnu muwāṣilī / Wa-man manna lī bil-waṣli siy-yāni fī al-jadwā_

Whoever turns away from me—while the Trustworthy one remains connected to me—and whoever grants me union are both equal in benefit.

**6.** هُوَ الْيُمْنُ وَالتَّيْسِيــرُ وَالسَّعْـدُ وَالْمُنَـى / لَهُ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى وَهُو الْمَسْنَدُ الْأَقْوَى

_Huwa al-yumnu wal-taysīru wal-sa‘du wal-munā / Lahu al-‘urwatu al-wuthqā wa-huwa al-masnadu al-aqwā_

He is the blessing, the ease, the happiness, and the desire; to him belongs the Firmest Handle and he is the strongest support.

**7.** أَتَى وَأَبَانَ الرُّشُدَ لِلْخَلْقِ وَالْـهُدَى / وَمَهَّدَ لِلْإِسْلاَمِ فَانْزَاحَـــتِ الْأَسْوَا

_Atā wa-abāna al-rushda lil-khalqi wal-hudā / Wa-mahhada lil-islāmi fānzāḥati al-aswā_

He came and made clear right-guidance and the path for creation; he paved the way for Islam, and so the evils were removed.

**8.** وَبَلَّغَنَـــــــا مَــــا أَنْـــزَلَ اللّٰهُ كَاشِفًــا / بِنُورٍ دُجَى الْإِشْرَاكِ وَالشَّكِّ وَالْإِغْوَا

_Wa-ballaghanā mā anzala Allāhu kāshifan / Bi-nūrin dujā al-ishrāki wal-shakki wal-ighwā_

He conveyed to us what Allah revealed, uncovering with light the darkness of polytheism, doubt, and seduction.

**9.** فَلاَ الدَّهْرَ تُلْفِي فِي الْبَرَايَا مُشَاكِلاً / لِأَحْمَدَ خَيْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَلاَ شَرْوَى

_Falā al-dahra tulfī fī al-barāyā mushākilan / Li-Aḥmada khayri al-mursalīna wa-lā sharwā_

Never throughout time will you find among beings anyone resembling Ahmad, the best of Messengers, not even in the slightest.

**10.** فَمِــــــنْ آيِــــــهِ آيَاتُهُــــمْ وَكِتَابُــــهُ / جَدِيدٌ عَلَى طُولِ الزَّمَانِ وَلاَ غَرْوَى

_Fa-min āyihi āyātuhum wa-kitābuhu / Jadīdun ‘alā ṭūli al-zamāni wa-lā gharwā_

The miracles of other prophets are but a part of his miracles; and his Book remains new despite the passage of time—no wonder!

**11.** وَقَدْ وَطِئَ الْعَرْشَ الْمَجِيدَ ، تَقَهْقَرَتْ / بُعَيْدَ غُرُوبٍ شَمْسُهُ وَبَدَتْ صَحْـــوَا

_Wa-qad waṭi’a al-‘arsha al-majīda taqah-qarat / Bu‘ayda ghurūbin shamshuhu wa-badat ṣaḥwā_

He trod upon the Glorious Throne; and the sun retreated for him after its setting, appearing clear again.

**12.** أَ أَعْجَـبُ هَـــذَا أَمْ عُيُــــونٌ تَفَجَّـــرَتْ / مِنَ الْكَفِّ كَفِّ الْهَاشِمِي وَسُقُوا صَفْوَا

_A-a‘jabu hādhā am ‘uyūnun tafaj-jarat / Mina al-kaffi kaffi al-Hāshimiyyi wa-suqū ṣafwā_

Do I marvel at this, or at the springs that gushed forth from the palm—the palm of the Hashemite—and they were given pure water to drink?

**13.** أَمِ الْبَدْرُ مَشْقُوقًا أَمِ الْجِذْعُ صَارِخًا / حَنِينًا لَــهُ أَمْ سَرْحَةٌ قَدْ أَتَتْ حَبْوَا

_Ami al-badru mashqūqan ami al-jidh‘u ṣārikhan / Ḥanīnan lahu am sarḥatun qad atat ḥabwā_

Or at the moon being split? Or the tree-trunk crying out in longing for him? Or the tree that came walking to him?

**14.** أَمِ الْكَفُّ مِنْ تُرْبٍ تُبِيدُ عَرَمْرَمًا / أَمِ السُّنَّةُ الْغَرَّاءُ تَسْتَأْصِلُ الْأَهْوَا

_Ami al-kaffu min turbin tubīdu ‘aram-raman / Ami al-sunnatu al-gharrā’u tasta’ṣilu al-ahwā_

Or the handful of dust that destroyed a massive army? Or the radiant Sunnah that uproots the whims of the soul?

**15.** أَتِلْــــــكَ أَمِ التَّشْفِيـــــعُ يَــــوْمَ تَقَطَّعَــتْ / وَسَائِلُ كُلِّ النَّاسِ ، وَالْمُصْطَفَى الْمَأْوَى

_A-tilka ami al-tashfī‘u yawma taqaṭ-ṭa‘at / Wasā’ilu kulli al-nāsi wal-Muṣṭafā al-ma’wā_

Are those the greatest, or is it his intercession on the Day when all people's means are cut off, and the Chosen One is the only refuge?

**16.** فَلاَ حَصْرَ لِلْآيَـــاتِ سِيَّــــانِ بَاقِــلٌ / وَقِسٌّ لِنَـتْـرُكْ بَحْــرَ أَمْدَاحِهِ رَهْوَا

_Falā ḥaṣra lil-āyāti siy-yāni Bāqilun / Wa-Qissun li-natruk baḥra amdāḥihi rahwā_

There is no end to his miracles; whether one is as mute as Baqil or as eloquent as Qiss, let us leave the sea of his praises calm and vast.

**17.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَـــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / أَسِيرُ إِلَى الْمَوْلَى وَلِي الْبُعْدُ قَدْ يُطْوَى

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Asīru ila al-mawlā wa-lī al-bu‘du qad yuṭwā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; I travel toward the Master, and for me, the distance may be folded.

**18.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَـــلاَةً تُرَقِّينَا إِلَى حَضْرَةِ الْأَضْوَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan turaqqīnā ila ḥaḍrati al-aḍwā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer that elevates us to the Presence of Lights.

**19.** عَلَيْــــــهِ صَــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / أَلُوذُ بِخَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ فِي الْجَهْرِ وَالنَّجْوَى

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Alūdhu bi-khayri al-khalqi fī al-jahri wal-najwā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; I take refuge in the best of creation in public and in secret.

**20.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / فَيَنْقَادُ لِي الْمَأْمُــولُ وَلْيُكْشَــفِ الْبَلْوَى

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Fa-yanqādu lī al-ma’mūlu wal-yukshafi al-balwā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; so that my hopes may be attained and my afflictions removed.

**21.** عَلَيْــهِ صَـــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / أَقُودُ لِدِينِـــي تَيْلِكَ الْعُدْوَةَ الْقُصْــوَى

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Aqūdu li-dīnī taylika al-‘udwata al-quṣwā_

Upon you be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; I lead that furthest boundary for the sake of my religion.

**22.** عَلَيْـــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَلاَةً وَتَسْلِيمًا عَلَى رَاكِبِ الْقَصْوَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan wa-taslīman ‘alā rākibi al-Qaṣwā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; prayer and salutation upon the rider of Al-Qaswa (the Prophet's camel).

**23.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / صَلاَةً وَتَسْلِيمًا تَــــدُرُّ بِهَا الْأَنْــوَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan wa-taslīman tadurru bihā al-anwā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; prayer and salutation through which the rain-clouds pour forth.
