# Harful Khaa · حَرْفُ الْخَاءِ

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.** خَلِيلِي صَفَا وَقْتِي وَتَمَّ لِيَ الْبَسْطُ / وَلَمْ أَرَ لِلصَّبِّ الْعَلِيــلِ دَوًا قَـــطُّ

_Khalīlī ṣafā waqtī wa-tamma liya al-basṭu / Wa-lam ara liṣ-ṣabbi al-‘alīli dawan qaṭ-ṭū_

My friend, my time has become pure and my expansion has become complete; I have never seen any other remedy for the ailing lover.

**2.** وَذَاكَ لِمَنْ يَهْوَى الْأَمِينَ كَرَامَـةٌ / فَمَا حُبُّــهُ إِلاَّ السَّعَـــادَةُ وَالْقِسْـطُ

_Wa-dhāka li-man yahwa al-Amīna karāmatun / Fa-mā ḥubbuhu illā al-sa‘ādatu wal-qisṭu_

That is a miracle for whoever loves the Trustworthy One; for his love is nothing but happiness and justice.

**3.** فَمِن جُــــودِهِ الْكَوْنَانِ وَالْأَمْـــرُ ثُمَّ مَــا / تَعَالَى وَحُبُّ الْمُصْطَفَى رَدْعُ مَنْ يَسْطُو

_Fa-min jūdihi al-kawnāni wal-amru thumma mā / Ta‘ālā wa-ḥubbu al-Muṣṭafā rad‘u man yasṭū_

From his generosity come the two worlds, the Divine Command, and all that is exalted; and the love of the Chosen One is a deterrent to whoever attacks.

**4.** رَسُولٌ ثَوَى فِي الْغَيْبِ دَهْرًا مُوَحِّدًا / وَمَا ثَمَّ مَنْ يَنْفِي وَتَـــمَّ لَهُ الْبَسْــطُ

_Rasūlun thawā fī al-ghaybi dahran muwaḥ-ḥidā / Wa-mā thamma man yanfī wa-tamma lahu al-basṭu_

A Messenger who remained in the Unseen for ages as a monotheist; there was no one there to deny [the Truth], and his expansion was complete.

**5.** وَكَــانَ رَسُـــولاً حِيـــنَ آدَمُ طِينَــةٌ / وَمَاءٌ فَمَا الْجَدْوَى لِغَاوٍ وَمَا الْخَبْطُ

_Wa-kāna rasūlan ḥīna Ādamu ṭīnatun / Wa-mā’un fa-mā al-jadwā li-ghāwin wa-mā al-khabṭu_

He was a Messenger while Adam was still [between] clay and water; so what use is there for the one who strays or falters?

**6.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ سَلاَمُهُ / صَلاَةً بِهَا يَنْزَاحُ عَنْ أَرْضِنَا الْقَحْطُ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan bihā yanzāḥu ‘an arḍinā al-qaḥṭu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which the drought is removed from our land.

**7.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / وَتَعْلُو سُطُورِي ثُمَّ شَكْلِي كَذَا النَّقْطُ

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Wa-ta‘lū suṭūrī thumma shaklī kadhā al-naqṭu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may my lines [of poetry], my diacritics, and my dots rise in rank.

**8.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / يَزِيدُ غَرَامِي الشِّيبُ وَالْكِبْرُ وَالشَّمْطُ

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Yazīdu gharāmī al-shību wal-kibru wal-shamṭu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may my passion increase with grey hair, old age, and hoariness.

**9.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثـــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــــهُ / وَآلٍ وَصَحْبٍ فِي سِوَى الدِّينِ لَنْ يَسْطُوا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Wa-ālin wa-ṣaḥbin fī siwā al-dīni lan yasṭū_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, and upon the family and companions who would never attack except for the sake of religion.
