# Harfud Dwaad · حَرْفُ الضَّادِ

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.** ضَرِيحٌ لَدَى الْعَذْرَا بِهِ اهْتَزَّتِ الْأَرْضُ / فَمِنْ دُونِهِ الْكُرْسِيُّ وَالْعَرْشُ وَالْحَوْضُ

_Ḍarīḥun lada al-‘Adhrā bihi-htazzati al-arḍu / Fa-min dūnihi al-Kursiyyu wal-‘Arshu wal-Ḥawḍu_

Upon the tomb near the Virgin [Aisha's chamber], the earth has shaken; for compared to it, the Footstool, the Throne, and the Basin are secondary.

**2.** ضَرِيحٌ بِــــهِ أَمْسَـــى مُحَمَّـــدُ رَاقِــدًا / بِهِ الْعِلْمُ وَالتَّقْوَى بِهِ الْكَرَمُ الْمَحْــضُ

_Ḍarīḥun bihi amsā Muḥammadu rāqidan / Bihi al-‘ilmu wal-taqwā bihi al-karamu al-maḥ-ḍu_

A tomb in which Muhammad has come to rest; in it lies knowledge, God-consciousness, and pure generosity.

**3.** ضَرِيحٌ بِــــهِ أَمْسَـــى النَّبِيُّ وَحَوْلَــهُ / وَزِيرَاهُ هَلْ ضَمَّتْ لِأَشْبَاهِهِمْ أَرْضُ

_Ḍarīḥun bihi amsā al-nabiyyu wa-ḥawlahu / Wazīrāhu hal ḍam-mat li-ashbāhihim arḍu_

A tomb in which the Prophet resides, and around him are his two Viziers [Abu Bakr and Umar]; has the earth ever embraced the likes of them?

**4.** وَمِنْبَرُهُ مَـــــا بَيْنَـــهُ وَضَرِيحِــهِ / جِنَانٌ لِقَلْبِي عِنْدَهُ مَرْبَــــعٌ خَفْــضُ

_Wa-minbaruhu mā baynahu wa-ḍarīḥihi / Jinānun li-qalbī ‘indahu marba‘un khaf-ḍu_

And his pulpit—the space between it and his tomb is a Garden; for my heart, it is a place of descent and lowliness [in humility].

**5.** إِلَى أَهْلِهَا أُهْــــدِي التَّحَايَـــا تَشَوُّقًــا / وَقَدْ حَالَ دُونِي مَهْمَهٌ قُذُفٌ عَرْضُ

_Ila ahlihā uhdī al-taḥāyā tashaw-wuqan / Wa-qad ḥāla dūnī mahma-hun qudhufun ‘ar-ḍu_

To its people, I send my greetings of longing; though a vast and perilous desert stands as a barrier between us.

**6.** فَمَا عَيْشُ مَنْ أَمْسَــــى بِكَـوْلَـخَ ثَاوِيًــا / وَجِيرَتُهُ حَوْلَ النَّقَا ضَمَّهَا الــرَّوْضُ

_Famā ‘ayshu man amsā bi-Kawlakha thāwiyan / Wa-jīratuhu ḥawla al-Naqā ḍam-mahā al-Raw-ḍu_

What is the life of one who resides in Kaolack, while his neighbors are gathered around the plain of al-Naqa in the Garden (Rawdah)?

**7.** نَبِيٌّ لَــــــهُ حَـــلَّ الْغَنَائِـــمُ وَهْـــوَ مَــنْ / غَزَا أُرْعِبُوا نَصْرًا وَمَسْجِدُهُ الْأَرْضُ

_Nabiyyun lahu ḥal-la al-ghanā’imu wa-huwa man / Ghazā ur‘ibū naṣran wa-masjiduhu al-ar-ḍu_

A Prophet for whom the spoils of war were made lawful; he is the one who, when he campaigned, was aided by terror [in the hearts of enemies], and for whom the whole earth was made a mosque.

**8.** عَلَيْــــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَلاَةً بِهَا يَبْقَى لِيَ النَّفْــلُ وَالْفَــرْضُ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan bihā yabqā liya al-naf-lu wal-far-ḍu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which my voluntary and obligatory deeds remain preserved.

**9.** عَلَيْــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــــهُ / بِعَيْنِ الرِّضَى سَعْيِي وَصَحْبِي مَتَـى نَمْضُوا

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Bi-‘ayni al-riḍā sa‘yī wa-ṣaḥbī matā nam-ḍū_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; may my efforts and my companions be viewed with the eye of pleasure whenever we pass on.

**10.** عَلَيْــــــــهِ صَــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / وَآلٍ وَأَصْحَابٍ عَلَى الدِّينِ قَدْ حَضُّوا

_‘Alayka ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Wa-ālin wa-asḥābin ‘ala al-dīni qad ḥaḍ-ḍū_

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

**11.** عَلَيْــــــهِ مَــعَ الْآلِ الْكِـــرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ / صَــلاَةً بِهَا يَبْقَــــى لِيَ الدَّكُّ وَالْمَحْـــقُ

_‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi / Ṣalātun bihā yabqā liya al-dak-ku wal-maḥ-qu_

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions; a prayer through which my ego is crushed and annihilated.
