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.** ظَعَنْتُ إِلَى وَادِي الْحَبِيــــبِ الْمُبَهَّجِ / مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَاحِي الضَّـلاَلَ الْمُسَــــرَّجِ

_Ẓa‘antu ilā wādī al-ḥabībi al-mubahhaji / Muḥammadin al-māḥī al-ḍalāla al-musarraji_

I have departed toward the valley of the joyful Beloved; Muhammad, the eraser of misguidance, the one like a lamp.

**2.** بِكَاظِمَةٍ أَحْبَـــابُ قَلْبِــــي وَسَلْعِهَــا / وَوَادِي النَّقَا مَغْنَى الْكَرِيمِ الْمُتَـوَّجِ

_Bi-Kāẓimatin aḥbābu qalbī wa-Sal‘ihā / Wa-wādī al-naqā maghnā al-karīmi al-mutawwaji_

In Kazima are the beloveds of my heart, and at Mount Sal’ and the Valley of Naqa—the dwelling of the Crowned Noble One.

**3.** فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ إِلْمَامٍ بِتِلْــــكَ وَلَيْتَنِــي / أُوَافِيكَ يَا مَنْ نَهْجُهُ الدَّهْرَ مَنْهَجِـي

_Fa-hal lī min ilmāmin bi-tilka wa-laytanī / Uwāfīka yā man nahjuhu al-dahra manhajī_

Will I ever have a visit to those places? If only I could meet you, O you whose path is my path for all time.

**4.** أُوَافِي الَّذِي لَوْلاَهُ مَـــا ذَرَّ شَـــارِقٌ / وَلَوْلاَهُ نُــــورُ الشَّمْــسِ لَمْ يَتَبَلَّــجِ

_Uwāfī al-ladhī lawlāhu mā dharra shāriqun / Wa-lawlāhu nūru al-shamsi lam yataballaji_

I seek to meet the one without whom no rising sun would shine, and without whom the light of the sun would not have broken through.

**5.** نَبِيٌّ حَـــوَى مَا لَـــمْ يَنَلْـــهُ مُقَـــرَّبٌ / وَلاَ فِي بُيُـــوتِ الْحَـــيِّ بِالْمُتَوَلِّــجِ

_Nabiyyun ḥawā mā lam yanal-hu muqarrabun / Walā fī buyūti al-ḥayyi bil-mutawalliji_

A Prophet who possessed what no near angel ever attained, nor any who entered the dwellings of the living.

**6.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / أَعِيشُ بِهَا دَهْــرِي بِغَيْـــرِ مُزَعِّــجِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / A‘īshu bihā dahrī bi-ghayri muza‘-‘iji_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through which I live my life without any disturber.

**7.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / فَإِنِّي أَسِيــــرُ الْحُـــبِّ دُونَ تَغَنُّــجِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Fa-inniya asīru al-ḥubbi dūna taghannuji_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; for I am a captive of love without any pretense or vanity.

**8.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَلاَةً عَلَى طُولِ الْمَدَى لَمْ تُنَسَّــجِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan ‘alā ṭūli al-madā lam tunassaji_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer that throughout the ages has never been [matched/woven].

**9.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْفَخْمِ الْمَهِيــبِ الْمُبَهَّــجِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / ‘Alā dhālika al-fakhmi al-mahībi al-mubahhaji_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; upon that magnificent, majestic, and joyful one.

**10.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْأَقْنَى الْأَزَجِّ وَالْأَبْلَـــجِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / ‘Alā dhālika al-aqnā al-azajji wal-ablaji_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; upon the one with the aquiline nose, the arched brows, and the radiant face.

**11.** عَلَيْهِ مَعَ الْآلِ الْكِــــرَامِ وَصَحْبِـــهِ / وَمَنْ سَلَكُوا فِي الدِّينِ أَحْسَنَ مَنْهَجِ

_‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi / Wa-man salakū fī al-dīni aḥsana manhaji_

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions, and those who followed the best path in religion.
