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.** بِالْمُصْطَفَى الْمُجْتَبَى الْمُخْتَارِ مِنْ مُضَرِ / تَعَلُّقِي وَهْــــوَ لِي فِي الْبَــدْوِ وَالْحَضَـرِ

_Bil-Muṣṭafā al-Mujtabā al-Mukhtāri min Muḍari / Ta‘alluqī wa-huwa lī fī al-badwi wal-ḥaḍari_

With the Chosen, the Elect, the Selected one of Mudar is my attachment; he is my [refuge] in the desert and the city.

**2.** قَدْ دَارَ بِي الشَّوْقُ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلاَدِ وَطَـ / ــهَ مَطْلَبِي وَإِلَيْـــهِ مُنْتَهَــى سَفَــرِي

_Qad dāra bī al-shawqu fī kulli al-bilādi wa-Ṭā- / hā maṭlabī wa-ilayhi muntahā safarī_

Longing has circled me through every land; Taha is my quest and to him is the end of my journey.

**3.** نَادَيْتُهُ يَا رَسُـــــولَ اللّٰهِ ضَيْفُـــكَ يَــرْ / جُو الْفَيْضَ وَالْعَوْنَ وَالْأَهْلُونَ فِي كَدَرِ

_Nādaytuhu yā Rasūla Allāhi ḍayfuka yar- / jū al-fayḍa wal-‘awna wal-ahlūna fī kadari_

I called to him: "O Messenger of Allah! Your guest hopes for the Flood and help, for his family is in distress."

**4.** إِنِّي فَقِيـــرٌ وَقِيـــــرٌ ضَـــارِعٌ وَجِــلٌ / مَا لِي سِوَى الْمُصْطَفَى الْمُخْتَارِ مِنْ وَزَرِ

_Innī faqīrun waqīrun ḍāri‘un wajilun / Mā lī siwā al-Muṣṭafā al-Mukhtāri min wazarī_

Indeed, I am poor, burdened, pleading, and fearful; I have no shelter besides the Chosen, Selected one.

**5.** فَارْزُقْ لِيَ الْعَوْدَ مَنْصُورًا لَدَيكَ وَتَقْ / ـضِي كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لِي فِي اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَطَرِ

_Far-zuq liya al-‘awda manṣūran ladayka wa-taq- / ḍī kulla mā kāna lī fī Allāhi min waṭari_

Grant me a return with victory from you, and fulfill every need I have in Allah.

**6.** أَنْتَ الَّذِي مَا أَتَاكَ الدَّهْرَ مُنْتَصِــرٌ / إِلاَّ وَفَازَ بِنَصْرٍ غَيْــــرِ مُنْحَصِــرِ

_Anta al-ladhī mā atāka al-dahra mun-taṣirun / Illā wa-fāza bi-naṣ-rin ghayri mun-ḥaṣiri_

You are the one whom no seeker of victory ever approached without winning an unrestricted triumph.

**7.** وَذَاكَ سَارَ بِهِ الرُّكْبَانُ عَنْـكَ فَـــلاَ / أُرَى أَخِيبُ وَخَيْرُ الْخَلْقِ لِي وَزَرِي

_Wa-dhāka sāra bi-hi al-rukbānu ‘anka falā / Urā akhību wa-khayru al-khal-qi lī wazarī_

The riders have traveled spreading this news about you, so I do not see myself failing while the Best of Creation is my shelter.

**8.** إِنْ أُبْتُ لَمْ أُنْصَرَنْ مِنْ عِنْدِ طَــهَ فَمَا / أَقُــــولُ يَا سَيِّــــدَ الْأَكْــــوَانِ لِلزُّمَــرِ

_In ubtu lam un-ṣaran min ‘indi Ṭāhā famā / Aqūlu yā sayyida al-akwāni liz-zumari_

If I return without being helped by Taha, what shall I say, O Master of the Universes, to the groups [of followers]?

**9.** إِمَّا تَجُودُ بِنَصْــرٍ خَـــارِقٍ وَكَفَــى / أَوْ يَرْجِعُ الْجَارُ مِنْكَ غَيْرَ مُنْتَصِرِ

_Immā tajūdu bi-naṣ-rin khāriqin wa-kafā / Aw yar-ji‘u al-jāru minka ghayra mun-taṣiri_

Either you grant a miraculous victory—and that is sufficient—or the neighbor [the seeker] returns from you without triumph.

**10.** يَا فَاتِحًا خَاتِمًا لِلرُّسْــــلِ نَاصِرَ دِيــ / ــنِ الْحَقِّ تَرْفَعُ مَا بِالْعَبْدِ مِنْ ضَرَرِ

_Yā fātiḥan khātiman lil-rusuli nāṣira dī- / ni al-ḥaqqi tar-fa‘u mā bil-‘abdi min ḍarari_

O Opener and Sealer of the Messengers! Helper of the religion of Truth! You remove whatever harm afflicts the servant.

**11.** حَاشَاكَ تُرْجِعُ جَارًا شَاعِرًا وَخَدِيـ / ــمًا قَدْ أَتَاكَ لِأَمْـــــرٍ نَالَــهُ خَطِــرِ

_Ḥāshāka tur-ji‘u jāran shā‘iran wa-khadī- / man qad atāka li-amrin nālahu khaṭari_

Far be it from you to send back a neighbor, a poet, and a servant who came for a matter that has become dangerous.

**12.** يَضِيقُ صَدْرِيَ طَوْرًا يَا أَمِينُ وَتَا / رَاتٍ أَعِيشُ بِمَا أَرْجُو مِنَ الْوَزَرِ

_Yaḍīqu ṣadrī ya-ṭawran yā Amīnu wa-tā- / rātin a‘īshu bi-mā arjū mina al-wazari_

My chest becomes constricted at times, O Trustworthy One, and at times I live by the shelter I hope for.

**13.** تُحَوِّلُ الْحَالَ حَالاً يَا كَرِيـــمُ وَيَا / بَابَ الْإِلَــهِ وَمَنْ عَادَاكَ فِي سَقَرِ

_Tuḥawwilu al-ḥāla ḥālan yā Karīmu wa-yā / Bāba al-ilāhi wa-man ‘ādāka fī Saqari_

You transform conditions, O Generous One! O Door to God! Whoever opposes you is in the Blazing Fire.

**14.** عَلَيْـكَ صَلَّــى إِلَــهُ النَّاسِ قَاطِبَـةً / يَا سَيِّدَ النَّاسِ جُدْ لِي مِنْكَ بِالْوَطَرِ

_‘Alayka ṣallā ilāhu al-nāsi qāṭibatan / Yā sayyida al-nāsi jud lī minka bil-waṭari_

May the God of all people bless you; O Master of people, grant me my need from you.

**15.** مُحَمَّـدًا خَيْرَ خَلْــقِ اللّٰهِ أَجْمَعِهِــمْ / عَبْدَ الْإِلَــهِ الَّذِي قَدْ جَا عَلَى قَدَرِ

_Muḥammadan khayra khal-qi Allāhi aj-ma‘ihim / ‘Abda al-ilāhi al-ladhī qad jā’a ‘alā qadari_

Muhammad, the best of all Allah's creation; the servant of God who came by a Divine decree.

**16.** هَادِي الْبَرَايَا إِلَى النَّهْجِ الْقَوِيمِ أَغِثْ / يَا مَنْ تُرَى ءَايُهُ فِي الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ

_Hādī al-barāyā ila al-nah-ji al-qawīmi aghith / Yā man turā āyuhu fī al-shamsi wal-qamari_

O Guide of all beings to the straight path, come to my rescue! You whose signs are seen in the sun and the moon.

**17.** وَفِي الْعَنَاصِرِ قَدْ بَانَــتْ عَجَائِبُــهُ / وَفِي الْبَهَائِمِ وَالْأَشْجَــارِ وَالْحَجَــرِ

_Wa-fī al-‘anāṣiri qad bānat ‘ajā’ibuhu / Wa-fī al-bahā’imi wal-ash-jāri wal-ḥajari_

His wonders are manifest in the elements, in the animals, in the trees, and in the stones.

**18.** وَفِي السَّمَــاوَاتِ وَالْآفَاقِ أَجْمَعِهَــا / وَأَنْفُسِ النَّاسِ مِنْ آيٍ وَمِـــنْ عِبَـرِ

_Wa-fī al-samāwāti wal-āfāqi aj-ma‘ihā / Wa-an-fusi al-nāsi min āyin wa-min ‘ibari_

In the heavens and all horizons, and in the souls of people, are signs and lessons [reflecting him].

**19.** وَلْتَذْكُـــــرَنَّ أَبَابَكْـــــرٍ وَتَالِيَــــــهُ / وَتِلْــــوَهُ جَامِـــعَ الْآيَاتِ وَالسُّــوَرِ

_Wal-tadh-kuran Aba Bakrin wa-tāliyahu / Wa-til-wahu jāmi‘a al-āyāti wal-suwari_

And remember Abu Bakr and the one who followed him (Umar), and the one after him (Uthman), the collector of the Verses and Chapters.

**20.** وَاذْكُرْ عَلِيًّا وَسَعْدًا طَلْحَـةً وَأَبَــا / عُبَيْدَةَ وَابْنَ عَوْفٍ قُرَّةَ الْبَصَـــرِ

_Wadh-kur ‘Aliyyan wa-Sa‘dan Ṭal-ḥatan wa-Abā / ‘Ubaydata wa-bna ‘Awfin qurrata al-baṣari_

And remember Ali, Sa'd, Talha, and Abu 'Ubayda, and the son of 'Awf—the delight of the eyes.

**21.** وَجَابِـرًا وَسَعِيــدًا وَالزُّبَيْـــرَ بِهِــمْ / أَرْجُو قَضَاءَ شُؤُونٍ أَتْعَبَتْ فِكَرِي

_Wa-Jābiran wa-Sa‘īdan wal-Zubayra bi-him / Arjū qaḍā’a shu’ūnin at-‘abat fikarī_

And Jabir, Sa'id, and al-Zubayr; through [their rank], I hope for the fulfillment of affairs that have exhausted my thoughts.

**22.** صَلَّى الْإِلَــهُ عَلَى مَنْ ظَلْتُ سَائِلَهُ / مَنْ ظَلَّ يُعْطِي بِــلاَ مَنٍّ وَلاَ كَـدَرِ

_Ṣallā al-ilāhu ‘alā man ẓultu sā’ilahu / Man ẓalla yu‘ṭī bilā mannin wa-lā kadari_

May God bless the one I continue to ask; the one who gives without reminder or causing distress.

**23.** مَا آبَ بِالْمُقْتَضَــى مَــــنْ قَــالَ مُمْتَدِحًا / بِالْمُصْطَفَى الْمُجْتَبَى الْمُخْتَارِ مِنْ مُضَرِ

_Mā āba bil-muq-taḍā man qāla mum-tadiḥan / Bil-Muṣṭafā al-Mujtabā al-Mukhtāri min Muḍari_

He who says in praise has surely returned with his needs fulfilled: "With the Chosen, the Elect, the Selected one of Mudar..."
