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.** جَزَى اللّٰهُ عَنِّي ظُلْمَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَالدُّجَى / فَفِيهَــا يَنَالُ الصَّــبُّ لِلْحُبِّ مَخْرَجَا

_Jaza Allāhu ‘annī ẓulmata al-layli wad-dujā / Fa-fīhā yanālu al-ṣabbu lil-ḥubbi makhrajā_

May Allah reward on my behalf the darkness of the night and the gloom; for in it, the lover finds an exit for his love.

**2.** يَبِيتُ يُرَاعِي النَّجْـــمَ وَالْكُــلُّ رَاقِــدٌ / يُنَظِّـــمُ دُرًّا بَـــــلْ يُنَظِّــمُ أَبْهَجَـــــــا

_Yabītu yurā‘ī al-najma wal-kullu rāqidun / Yunāẓẓimu durran bal yunāẓẓimu abhajā_

He spends the night watching the stars while everyone else is asleep; arranging pearls—nay, arranging that which is most joyful.

**3.** تَذَكَّرَ خَيْرَ الْخَلْــــــقِ طَـــهَ مَحَمَّـــدًا / جَمِيلَ الْمُحَيَّـــــا أَبْلَجًا كَـانَ أَدْعَجَــا

_Tadhakkara khayra al-khalqi Ṭāhā Muḥammadan / Jamīla al-muḥayyā ablajan kāna ad‘ajā_

He remembered the Best of Creation, Taha Muhammad; the one of beautiful countenance, radiant with deep black eyes.

**4.** عَظِيمٌ عَظِيمُ الْخُلْقِ وَالْجُودِ وَالْعَطَـــا / شَفِيقٌ شَفِيعٌ مِنْ دُجَى الْكُفْــرِ أَخْرَجَا

_‘Aẓīmun ‘aẓīmu al-khulqi wal-jūdi wal-‘aṭā / Shafīqun shafī‘un min dujā al-kufri akhrajā_

Magnificent! Magnificent in character, generosity, and giving; compassionate, an intercessor who brought [us] out of the gloom of disbelief.

**5.** وَذَاكَ الَّذِي لَـــوْلاَهُ مَا كَــانَ كَائِـنٌ / وَلَوْلاَهُ لَمْ نَسْلُكْ إِلَى الْحَقِّ مَنْهَجَــا

_Wa-dhāka al-ladhī lawlāhu mā kāna kā’inun / Wa-lawlāhu lam nasluk ila al-ḥaqqi manhajā_

That is the one without whom nothing would have existed; and without whom we would not have followed a path to the Truth.

**6.** دَعَا الْخَلْقَ لِلْمَــــوْلَى بِكُـــلِّ فِعَالِــهِ / وَفِي حَقِّهِ يَغْـــدُو وَرَاحَ وَأَدْلَجَـا

_Da‘ā al-khalqa lil-mawlā bi-kulli fi‘ālihi / Wa-fī ḥaqqihi yaghdū wa-rāḥa wa-adlajā_

He called the creation to the Master with all his actions; and for His sake, he went out in the morning, the evening, and the deep night.

**7.** قَلَــــــوْهُ وَآذَوْهُ بِكُـــلِّ إِذَايَـــــــةٍ / فَقَادَ الْبَرَايَـــا لِلْحَنِيفَــــةِ مُولِجَـــا

_Qalawhu wa-ādhawhu bi-kulli idhāyatin / Fa-qāda al-barāyā lil-ḥanīfati mūlijā_

They hated him and harmed him with every kind of injury; yet he led the beings into the Upright Faith, making them enter it.

**8.** وَجَاهَدَهُمْ فِـي اللّٰهِ حَــقَّ جِهَــادِهِ / وَنَوَّرَ أَقْطَارَ الْبِـــلاَدِ وَأَسْرَجَــا

_Wa-jāhadahum fī Allāhi ḥaqqa jihādihi / Wa-nawwara aqṭāra al-bilādi wa-asrajā_

He strove against them for the sake of Allah with the truest striving; he illuminated the regions of the lands and lit the lamps.

**9.** أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ مَا قَــــدْ لَقَـــوْهُ بِبَـــدْرِهِ / وَقَدْ بَزَغَ الدِّيــنُ الْحَنِيفِيُّ أَبْلَجَــا

_Alam ya’tihim mā qad laqawhu bi-Badrihi / Wa-qad bazagha al-dīnu al-ḥanīfiyyu ablajā_

Did there not come to them what they encountered at his [battle of] Badr? When the Upright Religion dawned, shining brightly.

**10.** كَذَا أُحُدًا جَاؤُوا وَبَاؤُوا بِصَدْمَــــةٍ / فَوَلَّوْا فِرَارًا حَيْثُمَا الرُّعْبُ أَزْعَجَـا

_Kadhalika Uḥudan jā’ū wa-bā’ū bi-ṣadmatin / Fa-wallaw firāran ḥaythumā al-ru‘bu az‘ajā_

Likewise at Uhud, they came and returned with a shock; they turned in flight wherever terror disturbed them.

**11.** وَقَدْ قَادَ لِلْبَطْحَــاءِ جَيْشًــا عَرَمْرَمًـا / فَذَلُّوا وَقَدْ دَانُوا مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالرَّجَا

_Wa-qad qāda lil-Baṭḥā’i jayshan ‘aramraman / Fa-dhallū wa-qad dānū mina al-khawfi war-rajā_

And he led toward Makkah (Al-Baṭḥā’) a vast, thundering army; so they were humbled, submitting out of both fear and hope.

**12.** فَيَا رَبِّ هَبْ لِي بِالْأَمِينِ وَصَحْبِهِ / كَمَالَ مُـــــرَادِي لِلسَّعَـــادَةِ مُنْتِجَــا

_Fa-yā rabbi hab lī bil-Amīni wa-ṣaḥbihi / Kamāla murādī lis-sa‘ādati muntijā_

O my Lord, grant me—by the Trustworthy One and his companions—the perfection of my desire, producing true happiness.

**13.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / مَعَ الْآلِ وَالصَّحْبِ الْكِرَامِ وَمَنْ نَجَا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ma‘a al-āli waṣ-ṣaḥbi al-kirāmi wa-man najā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; along with the family, the noble companions, and whoever is saved.
