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.** تَكَدَّرَتِ الدُّنْيَـــــا وَزُلْزِلَــتِ الْأَرْضُ / وَغَيْرُكَ رَبَّ الْمُصْطَفَى عَدَمٌ مَحْضُ

_Takaddarati al-dunyā wa-zulzilati al-arḍu / Wa-ghayruka rabba al-Muṣṭafā ‘adamun maḥḍu_

The world has become murky and the earth has been shaken; yet other than You, O Lord of the Chosen One, all is sheer non-existence.

**2.** عَسَى الْمُصْطَفَــى بَابُ الْإِلَهِ بِفَضْلِــهِ / يُنِيلُ لَنَــــــا بَسْطًا بِهِ يُرْفَـــعُ الْقَبْــضُ

_‘Asa al-Muṣṭafā bābu al-ilāhi bi-faḍlihi / Yunīlu lanā basṭan bihi yurfa‘u al-qabḍu_

Perhaps the Chosen One, the Gate of God, through his grace, will grant us an expansion through which our constriction is lifted.

**3.** هُوَ الْبَحْرُ وَهْوَ الْمُصْطَفَى الْقَرْمُ جُودُهُ / بِهِ فَاضَتِ الْأَنْـــوَارُ وَاتَّسَـــعَ الْفَيْــضُ

_Huwa al-baḥru wa-huwa al-Muṣṭafa al-qarmu jūduhu / Bihi fāḍati al-anwāru wat-tasa‘a al-fayḍu_

He is the ocean, and he is the Chosen, the noble chief in his generosity; through him the lights overflowed and the spiritual flood expanded.

**4.** وَقَـــــدْ آنَ مِنْــــهُ أَنْ يَجُــــودَ بِنَظْــرَةٍ / فَمَا السُّودُ تَرْجُو غَيْرَ طَــهَ وَلاَ الْبِيضُ

_Wa-qad āna minhu an yajūda bi-naẓratin / Fa-mā al-sūdu tarjū ghayra Ṭāhā walā al-bīḍu_

The time has come for him to be generous with a single glance; for neither the black people nor the white seek anyone other than Taha.

**5.** وَقَـــدْ جَاءَنَـــا مِنَّـــــا رَؤُوفًـــا بِكُلِّنَــا / رَحِيمًا حَرِيصًا حَقَّهُ الدَّهْرَ لَنْ نَقْضُوا

_Wa-qad jā’anā minnā ra’ūfan bi-kullinā / Raḥīman ḥarīṣan ḥaqqahu al-dahra lan naqḍū_

He came to us from among ourselves, being kind to us all; merciful and concerned for us—a debt we can never fully repay throughout time.

**6.** وَقَدْ بَلَّـــغَ الْمُخْتَـــارُ أَدَّى أَمَانَــــةً / وَنَاصَحَنَا كُلاًّ وَمَا سَعِدَ الْبَعْــضُ

_Wa-qad ballagha al-Mukhtāru adda amānatan / Wa-nāṣaḥanā kullan wa-mā sa‘ida al-ba‘ḍu_

The Chosen One conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust; he advised us all, though some did not find happiness [in his guidance].

**7.** وَقَدْ سَادَ سُـــــودَانٌ بِحُـــبِّ نَبِيِّنَــا / وَقَدْ ذَلَّ بِيضٌ فِي سَرَائِرِهِمْ بُغْضُ

_Wa-qad sāda sūdānun bi-ḥubbi nabiyyinā / Wa-qad dhalla bīḍun fī sarā’irihim bughḍu_

Black people have attained mastery through the love of our Prophet; while white people who held hatred in their hearts have been humbled.

**8.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / صَلاَةً نُرَى فِي حِصْنِهَا حَيْثُمَا نَمْضُوا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan nurā fī ḥiṣnihā ḥaythumā namḍū_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer in whose fortress we are seen wherever we go.

**9.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / تَجُودُ لَنَا الْأَنْوَاءُ وَالنَّبْـــتُ وَالْأَرْضُ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Tajūdu lanā al-anwā’u wan-nabtu wal-arḍu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; [through which] the rain-stars, the plants, and the earth become generous to us.

**10.** عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ عَلَى الدِّينِ قَدْ حَضُّوا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Wa-ālin wa-asḥābin ‘alā al-dīni qad ḥaḍḍū_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions who urged others toward the religion.
