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.** حِمَايَةُ هَــذَا الْعَبْدِ مِـنْ كُلِّ حَائِــمِ / مَحَبَّةُ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ مَأْوَى الْأَكَارِمِ

_Ḥimāyatu hādhā al-‘abdi min kulli ḥā’imi / Maḥabbatu khayri al-khalqi ma’wā al-akārimi_

Protection for this servant from every prowling danger is found in the love of the Best of Creation, the refuge of the noble.

**2.** هُوَ الْبَحْرُ وَاللَّيْثُ الْجَسُورُ شَجَاعَةً / وَجُودًا فَخَيرُ الْخَلْقِ بَحْرُ الْمَكَارِمِ

_Huwa al-baḥru wal-laythu al-jasūru shajā‘atan / Wa-jūdan fa-khayru al-khalqi baḥru al-makārimi_

He is the ocean and the daring lion in bravery and in generosity; for the Best of Creation is the sea of noble traits.

**3.** هُوَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْغَيْثُ الْمَرِيعُ هِدَايَةً / وَبَذْلاً وَبَلْهَ الْغَيْثَ غَيْرَ مُـــدَاوِمِ

_Huwa al-shamsu wal-ghaythu al-marī‘u hidāyatan / Wa-badhlan wa-bal-ha al-ghaytha ghayra mudāwimi_

He is the sun and the fertile rain in guidance and in giving—nay, far beyond the rain which is not continuous.

**4.** فَسَاسَ جَمِيعَ الْعُرْبِ وَالْعُجْمِ كُلِّهَا / فَعَمَّ هُــــدَاهُ الْيَــــوْمَ كُـــلَّ الْأَقَالِــمِ

_Fa-sāsa jamī‘a al-‘urbi wal-‘ujmi kullahā / Fa-‘amma hudāhu al-yawma kulla al-aqālimi_

He governed all the Arabs and the non-Arabs entirely; and so his guidance has encompassed all regions today.

**5.** وَشَتَّتَ شَمْلَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَقَدْ عَلاَ / بِسَطْوَتِـــهِ التَّوْحِيــدُ دُونَ مُزَاحِـمِ

_Wa-shattata shamla al-mushrikīna wa-qad ‘alā / Bi-saṭwatihi al-tawḥīdu dūna muzāḥimi_

He scattered the assembly of the polytheists, and through his awe-inspiring power, Monotheism rose without rival.

**6.** إِمَامً كَرِيمًا مُنْصِفًـــا وَمُقَوِّمًــا / أَدِيبًا مَهِيبًا مُحْسِنًا لِلْمُسَاخِـــــمِ

_Imāman karīman munṣifan wa-muqaw-wiman / Adīban mahīban muḥsinan lil-musākhimi_

A noble leader, just and upright; refined, majestic, and kind even to the arrogant.

**7.** جَمِيلاً جَلِيلاً مُنْفِقًـــا مُتَوَاضِعًــا / وَلَمْ يَكُ فَظًّا لاَ وَلَيْسَ بِظَالِــمِ

_Jamīlan jalīlan munfiqan mutawāḍi‘an / Wa-lam yaku faẓẓan lā wa-laysa bi-ẓālimi_

Beautiful, sublime, spending [in charity], and humble; he was never harsh, no, nor was he an oppressor.

**8.** وَقَدْ كَانَ مَنْصُورًا بِرُعْبٍ فَصَحْبُهُ / بِهِ دَوَّخُوا الْبُلْـــدَانَ لاَ بِالصَّــوَارِمِ

_Wa-qad kāna manṣūran bi-ru‘bin fa-ṣaḥbuhu / Bihi daw-wakhū al-buldāna lā bil-ṣawārimi_

He was aided by a strike of awe, such that his companions conquered lands through him, not merely by swords.

**9.** فَيَا لَيْتَهُ قَوَّى الْعُبَيْدَ وَصَحْبَــهُ / لِنُدْرِكَ ثَأْرًا مِنْ عَدُوٍّ وَغَاشِمِ

_Fa-yā laytahu qaw-wā al-‘ubayda wa-ṣaḥbahu / Li-nudrika tha’ran min ‘aduwwin wa-ghāshimi_

So, if only he would strengthen this little servant and his companions, that we may achieve victory over the enemy and the oppressor.

**10.** وَيُعْلِي بِنَـــا التَّوْحِيــدَ حَقًّــا بِسُرْعَةٍ / وَيُغْنِي ذَوِي الْحَاجَاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ رَائِمِ

_Wa-yu‘lī binā al-tawḥīda ḥaqqan bi-sur‘atin / Wa-yughnī dhawī al-ḥājāti min kulli rā’imi_

And may he truly elevate Monotheism through us with speed, and enrich those in need from every seeker.

**11.** بِجَــاهِ رَسُـــــولِ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ صِحَابِــهِ / فَيَعْلُوا مَنَارُ الدِّيــنِ فَـــوْقَ الْمَعَالِــمِ

_Bi-jāhi Rasūli Allāhi thumma ṣiḥābihi / Fa-ya‘lū manāru al-dīni fawqa al-ma‘ālimi_

By the high standing of the Messenger of Allah and then his companions, may the lighthouse of religion rise above all landmarks.

**12.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / لِكَيْ لاَ يَعِيشَ الْعَبْدُ عَيْشَ الْبَهَائِــمِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Li-kay lā ya‘īsha al-‘abdu ‘aysha al-bahā’imi_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, so that the servant does not live the life of cattle.

**13.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / فَلِي شَهْوَةٌ فِي ذِكْرِ تَسْلِيمِ هَاشِمِي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Fa-lī shahwatun fī dhikri taslīmi hāshimī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; for I have a deep craving for the mention of the Hashemite greeting.

**14.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / فَقَدْ حَيَّرَ الْمُخْتَارُ أَفْكَـــــارَ عَالَــمِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Fa-qad ḥay-yara al-Mukhtāru afkāra ‘ālami_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; for the Chosen One has bewildered the intellects of the world.

**15.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / فَلِي سَكْرَةٌ تَفْنَـــى لَدَيْهَــا عَوَالِمِي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Fa-lī sakratun tafnā ladayhā ‘awālimī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; for I have an intoxication in which all my worlds vanish.

**16.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / بِهِ أَرْتَقِي لِلْحُبِّ أَقْصَى السَّلاَلِــــمِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Bihi artaqī lil-ḥubbi aqṣā al-salālimi_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through him, I ascend to the highest ladders of love.

**17.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــــهُ / مَعَ الْآلِ وَالصَّحْبِ الْبُحُورِ الْخَضَارِمِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ma‘a al-āli wal-ṣaḥbi al-buḥūri al-khaḍārimi_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, along with the family and the companions, the surging oceans of generosity.
