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.** يُهَيِّـــــجُ أَفْكَــارِي لِمَـــدْحِ الْمُزَمِّــلِ / غَرَامِي وَشَوْقِي لِلْجَمَـــالِ الْمُكَمِّــلِ

_Yuhayyiju afkārī li-madḥi al-Muzammili / Gharāmī wa-shawqī lil-jamāli al-mukammili_

The passion and longing for that perfected beauty stir my thoughts to praise "The Enwrapped One."

**2.** دَعَانِي جَمَالُ الْمُصْطَفَى فَأَجَبْتُهُ / بِدَمْعٍ كَوَبْـلٍ مِـــنْ فُـــؤَادٍ مُقَتَّــلِ

_Da‘ānī jamālu al-Muṣṭafā fa-ajabtuhu / Bi-dam‘in ka-wablin min fu’ādin muqattali_

The beauty of the Chosen One called me, and I answered him with tears like pouring rain from a heart slain by love.

**3.** أَرَانِي أُحِبُّ الْعُرْبَ وَالصَّحْبَ جُمْلَةً / وَآلاً وَأَنْصَــــارًا لِحُـــبِّ الْمُزَمِّــلِ

_Arānī uḥibbu al-‘urba wal-ṣaḥba jumlatan / Wa-ālan wa-anṣāran li-ḥubbi al-Muzammili_

I find myself loving the Arabs and the companions entirely, as well as the family and the helpers, out of love for "The Enwrapped One."

**4.** وَلاَ سِيَّمَا الشَّيْخَيْنِ ثُمَّ خَلِيفَــةً / يُكَنَّى أَبَا عَمْرٍ وَصِنْوَ الْمُبَجَّلِ

_Wa-lā siy-yamā al-shaykhayni thumma khalīfatan / Yukannā Abā ‘Amrin wa-ṣinwa al-mubajjali_

Especially the two Shaykhs (Abu Bakr and Umar), then the successor surnamed Abu 'Amr (Uthman), and the peer of the exalted one (Ali).

**5.** كَذَلِكَ مِنْ حُبِّيـــــهِ حُبِّـــي لِطَيْبَــةٍ / وَأُمِّ الْقُرَى الْبَطْحَا عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْزِلِ

_Kadhalika min ḥubbayhi ḥubbī li-Ṭaybatin / Wa-Umm al-Qurā al-Baṭḥā ‘alā kulli manzili_

Likewise, from his two loves stems my love for Tayba (Medina) and the Mother of Cities (Makkah) above every other dwelling.

**6.** كَذَلِكَ مِنْ حُبِّيـــــهِ حُبِّــي تِــلاَوَةً / مَقَالِي وَحَالِي حُبُّ أَفْضَلِ مُرْسَلِ

_Kadhalika min ḥubbayhi ḥubbī tilāwatan / Maqālī wa-ḥālī ḥubbu afḍali mursali_

Likewise, from his love is my love for reciting [his praise]; my speech and my state are the love of the best Messenger.

**7.** كَذَلِكَ مِنْ حُبِّيــهِ حُبُّ مَدِيحِــهِ / وَأَسْمَائِــهِ أَسْمَاءِ خَيْرِ مُؤَمَّـلِ

_Kadhalika min ḥubbayhi ḥubbu madīḥihi / Wa-asmā’ihi asmā’i khayri mu’ammali_

Likewise, from his love is the love of praising him and his names—the names of the best one hoped for.

**8.** وَحُبِّي لِأَهْلِ اللّٰهِ أَنْصَـــارِ دِينِــهِ / وَبُغْضِي لِمَنْ عَادَاهُ فِي كُلِّ مَنْهَلِ

_Wa-ḥubbī li-ahli Allāhi anṣāri dīnihi / Wa-bughḍī li-man ‘ādāhu fī kulli man-hali_

And my love for the people of Allah, the helpers of His religion; and my hatred for whoever opposes him in any matter.

**9.** فَلَسْتُ أُحِبُّ الدَّهْرَ شَيْئًا سِــــوَاءَهُ / وَلَسْتُ أُعَادِي غَيْرَ أَعْدَاءِ مَوْئِلِي

_Fa-lastu uḥibbu al-dahra shay’an siwā’ahu / Wa-lastu u‘ādī ghayra a‘dā’i maw’ilī_

I shall never love anything in this world besides him, and I shall not oppose anyone except the enemies of my refuge.

**10.** لَعَلِّي أَرَى مَا قَدْ أُحِــــــبُّ مُؤَيَّــدًا / بِفَضْلِ كَرِمٍ دُونَـــهُ كُـــلُّ مُجْــزِلِ

_La‘allī arā mā qad uḥibbu mu’ay-yadan / Bi-faḍli karīmin dūnahu kullu mujzili_

Perhaps I shall see what I love supported by the grace of a Generous One, compared to whom every giver is small.

**11.** لَعَلِّي أَرَى أَعْدَاءَ دِينِـــــي تَفَرَّقُــوا / وَصَارُوا جَمِيعًا تَحْتَ حِجْرٍ مُذَلِّلِ

_La‘allī arā a‘dā’a dīnī tafar-raqū / Wa-ṣārū jamī‘an taḥta ḥijrin mudhal-lili_

Perhaps I shall see the enemies of my religion scattered and all of them brought low under a humbling restraint.

**12.** وَتَخْفَقُ رَايَــــاتُ الْإِلَــهِ وَدِينِـــهِ / بِكَفِّ فَتًـــى يَدْعُـــو لِدِينِــي مُهَلِّــلِ

_Wa-takhfaqu rāyātu al-ilāhi wa-dīnihi / Bi-kaffi fatan yad‘ū li-dīnī muhallili_

And the banners of God and His religion fluttering in the hand of a youth who calls to my religion with "Tahleel."

**13.** أَلاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ يَا أَفْضَلَ الْـــوَرَى / لِتُصْلِحْ شُؤُونِي لَمْ أَجِدْ عَنْكَ مَعْدَلِي

_Alā yā Rasūla Allāhi yā afḍala al-warā / Li-tuṣliḥ shu’ūnī lam ajid ‘anka ma‘dalī_

O Messenger of Allah, O best of creation, rectify my affairs, for I have found no turning away from you.

**14.** فَإِنِّيَ جَارٌ شَاعِرُ الْبَــــــابِ خَــادِمٌ / وَإِنَّكَ بَحْرُ الْجُودِ يَا غَوْثَ مُرْمِـلِ

_Fa-inniya jārun shā‘iru al-bābi khādimun / Wa-innaka baḥru al-jūdi yā ghawtha murmili_

For I am a neighbor, the poet at your door, a servant; and you are the ocean of generosity, O succor of the destitute.

**15.** فَإِنْ أَبْرَقَ الْأَعْدَاءُ يَوْمًا وَأَرْعَدُوا / فَإِنِّيَ جَارُ الْمُصْطَفَـــى الْمُتَفَضِّــلِ

_Fa-in abraqa al-a‘dā’u yawman wa-ar‘adū / Fa-inniya jāru al-Muṣṭafa al-mutafaḍ-ḍili_

If the enemies flash like lightning and thunder one day, I am the neighbor of the Chosen One, the Most Gracious.

**16.** وَإِنْ شَبَّتِ النِّيرَانُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِنَّنِــي / أُرَجِّيكَ أَنَّا الدَّهْـــرَ عَنْهَا بِمَعْــزَلِ

_Wa-in shabbati al-nīrānu lil-ḥarbi innanī / Urajjīka annā al-dahra ‘anhā bi-ma‘zali_

If the fires of war are kindled, I hope through you that we remain forever secluded from them.

**17.** وَمِنْكَ نَرَى فِي الْحَشْرِ وَالْفَزَعِ الَّذِي / تَشِيـــبُ لَــهُ الْوِلْــدَانُ أَرْفَــعَ مَنْــزِلِ

_Wa-minka narā fī al-ḥashri wal-faza‘i al-ladhī / Tashību lahu al-wildānu arfa‘a manzili_

And from you, we shall see in the Gathering and the Terror—which makes children turn grey—the highest of stations.

**18.** عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ قَــدْ عَلَوْا كُلَّ أَكْمَــلِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Wa-ālin wa-ṣaḥbin qad ‘alaw kulla akmali_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions who surpassed all who are perfected.
