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.** أَعِنِّي عَلَى التَّهْيَـــامِ وَالْبُرَحَــاءِ / حَبِيبَ إِلَهِــــي مَلْجَــأَ الْكُرَمَــاءِ

_A‘innī ‘alā al-tahyāmi wal-burahā’i / Ḥabība ilāhī malja’a al-kuramā’i_

Help me in my ecstatic wandering and intense grief, O Beloved of my God, the refuge of the noble ones!

**2.** أَرِقْتُ وَمَا بِي شَوْقُ جَيْدَاءَ طَفْلَةٍ / خَدَلَّجِ سَاقٍ فِــــي كَمَـــالِ بَهَــاءِ

_Ariqtu wa-mā bī shawqu jaydā’a ṭaflatin / Khadallaji sāqin fī kamāli bahā’i_

I spent a sleepless night, yet not out of longing for a slender girl of perfect beauty;

**3.** وَلاَ شَاقَنِي رَيَّا الدَّمَالِجِ سَاجِيًـــا / لَهَا الطَّرْفُ كَالْبُرْغُوزِ بَيْنَ مَلاَءِ

_Wa-lā shāqanī rayyā al-damāliji sājiyan / Lahā al-ṭarfu kal-burghūzi bayna malā’i_

Nor was I moved by the one with rounded arms and a tranquil gaze like a young gazelle.

**4.** أَرَى كُلَّ إِنْسَــانٍ بُلِـــي بِمَحَبَّـــةٍ / فَكُلٌّ وَلَيْـــــلاَهُ وَطَــــهَ بَلاَئِــي

_Arā kulla insānin buliya bi-maḥabbatin / Fakullun wa-Laylāhu wa-Ṭāhā balā’ī_

I see every human being afflicted with a love; everyone has their "Layla," but Taha is my affliction.

**5.** أَبِيتُ أُرَاعِي النَّجْمَ شَوْقًا وَجِيرَتِي / نِيَامٌ وَنَارُ الشَّوْقِ بَيْــــنَ حَشَائِــي

_Abītu urā‘ī al-najma shawqan wa-jīratī / Niyāmun wa-nāru al-shawqi bayna ḥashā’ī_

I spend the night watching the stars in longing, while my neighbors sleep and the fire of yearning burns within my chest.

**6.** وَمَا شَاقَنِي حَتَّى وَلاَ رَبْــــعُ عَــزَّةٍ / فَشَوْقِي لِزَرْقَا الْعَيْنِ وَهْــيَ مُنَائِــي

_Wa-mā shāqanī ḥattā wa-lā rab‘u ‘Azzatin / Fa-shawqī li-Zarqā al-‘ayni wa-hiya munā’ī_

I was not moved even by the dwelling of "Azza"; for my longing is for the "Blue-Eyed One" (Medina/The Prophet)—he is my ultimate desire.

**7.** إِلَى أَحْمَدٍ أَبْهَى الْوَرَى أَجْوَدِ الْوَرَى / وَلَيْسَ يُدَانَى فِـــــي كَمَــــالِ وَفَــاءِ

_Ila Aḥmada abhā al-warā ajwadi al-warā / Wa-laysa yudānā fī kamāli wafā’i_

Toward Ahmad, the most radiant of creation, the most generous; none can approach him in the perfection of loyalty.

**8.** أَجَلِّ الْوَرَى قَدْرًا وَصِهْرًا وَعُنْصُرًا / وَأَكْرَمِ مَــــنْ يَعْلُـــو عَنَـــانَ سَمَــاءِ

_Ajalli al-warā qadran wa-ṣihran wa-‘unṣuran / Wa-akrami man ya‘lū ‘anāna samā’i_

The most majestic in rank, in lineage, and in essence; the noblest of those who rose to the heights of the heaven.

**9.** أَمِينِ إِلَـــهِ الْعَــــرْشِ مَرْكَـــزِ سِـــرِّهِ / وَقَدْ فَــــاضَ مِنْــــهُ الْعِلْــــمُ لِلْعُلَمَــاءِ

_Amīni ilāhi al-‘ar-shi markazi sirrihi / Wa-qad fāḍa minhu al-‘ilmu lil-‘ulamā’i_

The Trustworthy One of the Lord of the Throne, the center of His Secret; from him, knowledge has overflowed to the scholars.

**10.** أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ الْمَاحِي الضَّـــلاَلَ مُحَمَّــدًا / وَخَيْــــرَ مَعَـــــدٍّ مَفْخَــــرَ الْكُبَــرَاءِ

_Abā al-Qāsimi al-Māḥī al-ḍalāla Muḥammadan / Wa-khayra ma‘addin maf-khara al-kubarā’i_

O Father of Qasim! The Eraser of misguidance, Muhammad; the best of the lineage of Ma'ad, the pride of the great ones.

**11.** أَيُرْجَى نَوَالٌ مِنْ سِوَاكُمْ وَقَدْ حَوَى / الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا مِنْكُـــمْ كَمَـــالَ حِبَــاءِ

_A-yurjā nawālun min siwākum wa-qad ḥawā / Al-ladhīna maḍaw minkum kamāla ḥibā’i_

Can bounty be hoped for from any besides you? When those of the past attained their perfect gifts only through you.

**12.** أَيَأْوِي لَكَ الرُّسْلُ الْكِرَامُ وَلَمْ تَسَـــعْ / لِذَا الْعَبْــدِ إِبْرَاهِيــــمَ يَــــوْمَ اللِّقَــاءِ

_A-ya’wī laka al-rusulu al-kirāmu wa-lam tasa‘ / Lidhā al-‘abdi Ibrāhīma yawma al-liqā’i_

Do the noble Messengers take refuge in you, yet there is no room for this servant, Ibrahim, on the Day of Meeting?

**13.** أَتُعْطِي جَمِيــعَ الْعَالَمِيـــنَ وَخَــادِمٌ / مُحِــبٌّ أَتَاكُـــمْ لَــمْ يَـــؤُبْ بِعَطَــاءِ

_A-tu‘ṭī jamī‘a al-‘ālamīna wa-khādimun / Muḥibbun atākum lam ya’ub bi-‘aṭā’i_

Do you give to all the worlds, while a loving servant comes to you and returns without a gift?

**14.** أَتَتْرُكُ عَبْـــدًا قَـــدْ أَتَـــاكَ مُقَرِّظًــا / وَمِنْ جُودِكَ الْأُخْرَى كَمِثْلِ الدُّنَاءِ

_A-tatruku ‘abdan qad atāka muqarriẓan / Wa-min jūdika al-ukhrā kamithli al-dunā’i_

Would you leave a servant who came to you praising you? While from your generosity, the Hereafter is as small as this lowly world.

**15.** أَيَا شَافِعًا فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَشْرِ سَيِّدًا / تَلُــوذُ بِـــهِ الْأَبْصَــارُ رَبَّ لِــوَاءِ

_Ayā shāfi‘an fī al-nāsi bil-ḥash-ri sayyidan / Talūdhu bihi al-abṣāru rabba liwā’i_

O Intercessor for the people at the Gathering! The Master toward whom all eyes turn, the Lord of the Banner.

**16.** وَقَدْ خَافَ أُولُو الْعَزْمِ وَالْحَالُ إِنَّهُمْ / لَهُمْ عِصْمَـــةٌ تَأْبَــى لِفِعْــلِ خَطَــاءِ

_Wa-qad khāfa ūlū al-‘az-mi wal-ḥālu innahum / Lahum ‘iṣmatun ta’bā li-fi‘li khaṭā’i_

The "Messengers of Firm Resolve" (Ulu al-Azm) were afraid, even though they possess infallibility that prevents any error.

**17.** وَقَدْ خَضَعَ الْأَمْلاَكُ وَالْكُـــلُّ قَائِــلٌ / لَدَى ذَاكَ نَفْسِـــي لَمْ أُبَــلْ لِسِوَائِــي

_Wa-qad khāḍa‘a al-amlāku wal-kullu qā’ilun / Lada dhāka naf-sī lam ubal li-siwā’ī_

The angels humbled themselves, and everyone was saying at that moment: "Myself! I care for no one else."

**18.** هُنَالِكَ خَرَّ الْمُصْطَفَى سَاجِــدًا لِمَــنْ / لَهُ الْأَمْرُ إِذْ يُثْنِـــــي بِخَيْـــرِ الثَّنَــاءِ

_Hunālika kharra al-Muṣṭafā sājidan liman / Lahu al-amru idh yuthnī bi-khayri al-thanā’i_

There, the Chosen One fell prostrate to the One who holds the Command, as he offered the most beautiful praise.

**19.** وَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْ تُعْطَ وَاشْفَعْ وَأَنْقِذَنْ / فَإِنَّـــكَ مَقْبُــــولٌ وَأَهْـــلُ عَطَــاءِ

_Wa-qāla lahu sal tu‘ṭa wash-fa‘ wa-anqidhan / Fa-innaka maqbūlun wa-ahlu ‘aṭā’i_

And He (Allah) said to him: "Ask, and you shall be given; intercede, and your intercession is accepted; and rescue, for you are accepted and the possessor of bounty."

**20.** فَقُمْتَ مَقَامًا قَــــدْ تَقَاصَـــرَ دُونَــهُ / أَكَابِرُ رُسْــلٍ هُــمْ نُجُـــومُ سَمَــاءِ

_Fa-qumta maqāman qad taqāṣara dūnahu / Akābiru ruslin hum nujūmu samā’i_

So you stood in a station that the greatest of Messengers—the stars of the heaven—could not reach.

**21.** أَيَا سَيِّدِي إِنِّي اسْتَجَـــرْتُ بِحُبِّكُـمْ / فَلاَ ضَرَّنِي حَوْبِي وَكُـــلُّ جَفَــاءِ

_Ayā sayyidī innī-stajartu bi-ḥubbikum / Falā ḍarranī ḥawbī wa-kullu jafā’i_

O my Master! I have sought protection in your love; so let not my sins or any estrangement harm me.

**22.** وَلاَ ضَرَّنِي صَرْفُ الزَّمَانِ وَلاَ أَرَى / شَمَاتَــــةَ أَعْــــدَاءٍ وَسُــــوءَ قَضَــاءِ

_Wa-lā ḍarranī ṣar-fu al-zamāni wa-lā arā / Shamātata a‘dā’in wa-sū’a qaḍā’i_

Let not the passage of time harm me, and let me not see the malice of enemies or an evil decree.

**23.** وَلاَ سَلَبًا مِمَّــــا عَمِلْــــتُ وَلاَ انْثَنَــتْ / بِيَ النَّفْـــسُ وَالْأَهْـــوَا وَكَيْـدُ عَــدَاءِ

_Wa-lā salaban mimmā ‘amiltu wa-lā-nthanat / Biya al-naf-su wal-ahwā wa-kaydu ‘adā’i_

Let there be no stripping of what I have achieved, and let not my soul, my whims, or the plots of enemies turn me away.

**24.** وَلاَ ضَرَّنِي مَكْـــرٌ وَفَقْــرٌ وَلاَ غِنًـى / أَمُــوتُ وَأَحْيَــا عَبْــــدَ رَبِّ السَّمَـاءِ

_Wa-lā ḍarranī mak-run wa-faq-run wa-lā ghinan / Amūtu wa-aḥyā ‘abda rabbi al-samā’i_

Let not cunning, poverty, or wealth harm me; I die and live as a servant of the Lord of the Heaven.

**25.** عَلَــــى أَنَّنِـــــي رَاضٍ بِكُـــلِّ فِعَالِــهِ / مُطَــأْطِئَ رَأْسٍ فِي مَقَـــامِ الرِّضَــاءِ

_‘Alā annanī rāḍin bi-kulli fi‘ālihi / Muṭā’ṭi’a ra’sin fī maqāmi al-riḍā’i_

For I am satisfied with all His actions, bowing my head in the station of Pleasure (Rida).

**26.** أُسَائِلُهُ لُطْفًـــــا وَفَضْـــلاً وَرَحْمَــةً / وَعَافِيَـــــةً تَكْفِــــــي جَمِيـــعَ بَــلاَءِ

_Usā’iluhu luṭfan wa-faḍ-lan wa-raḥ-matan / Wa-‘āfiyatan takfī jamī‘a balā’i_

I ask Him for kindness, grace, and mercy; and for well-being that suffices against every affliction.

**27.** وَجَازِ أَحِبَّائِي وَأَنْصَــــارَ مَنْهَجِــي / بِنَيْــلِ مُـــرَادٍ مَـــعْ كَمَـــالِ رِضَــاءِ

_Wa-jāzi aḥibbā’ī wa-anṣāra man-hajī / Bi-nayli murādin ma‘ kamāli riḍā’i_

And reward my beloveds and the supporters of my path, by granting them their desires along with perfect pleasure.

**28.** وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِــي فِعْلِهِــمْ وَنُفُوسِهِــمْ / وَآلٍ وَأَوْلاَدٍ وَكُــــــــلِّ ثَــــــــرَاءِ

_Wa-bārik lahum fī fi‘lihim wa-nufūsihim / Wa-ālin wa-awlādin wa-kulli tharā’i_

And bless them in their actions, their souls, their families, their children, and all their wealth.

**29.** فَلاَ دَهَشٌ يُخْشَــــى وَهُــمْ بِحِمَاكُــمُ / وَلاَ عَطَــــشٌ إِذْ مِنْـــكَ كُــلُّ سِقَــاءِ

_Falā dhashun yukh-shā wa-hum bi-ḥimākumu / Wa-lā ‘aṭashun idh minka kullu siqā’i_

No confusion is to be feared while they are under your protection; and no thirst, for from you comes every drink.

**30.** بِجَــــاهِ نَبِـــيِّ الْأَنْبِيَــــاءِ وَحِزْبِـــهِ / وَأَنْصَــــــــارِهِ وَالْآلِ آلِ عَبَــــــاءِ

_Bi-jāhi nabiyyi al-anbiyā’i wa-ḥiz-bihi / Wa-anṣārihi wal-āli āli ‘abā’i_

By the rank of the Prophet of Prophets and his party; his supporters and the Family of the Cloak (Al al-‘Abā’).

**31.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / صَــــلاَةً بِهَـــا يَنْفَـــكُّ كُــلُّ غِطَــاءِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan bi-hā yanfakku kullu ghiṭā’i_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which every veil is removed.

**32.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / صَــــلاَةً وَتَسْلِيمًــا شِفَــا الْبُرَحَـاءِ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan wa-taslīman shifā al-burahā’i_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer and salutation that heals intense grief.

**33.** عَلَيْـــــهِ مَعَ الْآلِ الْكِرَامِ وَصَحْبِــهِ / صَــــلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيـــمٌ تُزِيـلُ طَخَائِــي

_‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi / Ṣalātun wa-taslīmun tuzīlu ṭakhā’ī_

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions; a prayer and salutation that removes my darkness.
