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.** إِنَّ سِــــــرِّي كَــلاَمُ رَبِّـــي الْمُبِيــنُ / أَيْ إِلَـــهِـــي الَّـــذِي بِـــــهِ نَسْتَعِيـنُ

_Inna sirrī kalāmu rabbī al-mubīnu / Ay ilāhī al-ladhī bi-hi nasta‘īnu_

My secret is the manifest speech of my Lord, the God from whom we seek help.

**2.** فَاجْعَــلِ الرُّوحَ وَاللِّسَـــانَ دَوَامًــا / وَفُــؤَادِي مَتَــى تَلَـــــــوْتُ يَلِيــنُ

_Faj-‘ali al-rūḥa wal-lisāna dawāman / Wa-fu’ādī matā talawtu yalīnu_

Make my spirit and my tongue perpetual [in its mention], and let my heart soften whenever I recite.

**3.** تَقْشَعِرُّ الْجُلُــــودُ وَالرُّوحُ يَسْمُــو / عِنْدَ ذِكْـــرِ الْحَكِيـــمِ أَوْ يَسْتَبِيــنُ

_Taq-sha‘irru al-julūdu wal-rūḥu yasmū / ‘Inda dhikri al-ḥakīmi aw yastabīnu_

The skins shiver and the spirit rises at the mention of the Wise One, or it becomes enlightened.

**4.** أَسْلُـــكُ النَّهْـــــجَ بِالشَّرِيعَـــةِ نَحْــوَ / الْحَقِّ خَلْفَ الْمَصْدُوقِ وَهْوَ الْأَمِينُ

_As-luku al-nahja bish-sharī‘ati naḥwa / Al-Ḥaqqi khalfa al-Maṣ-dūqi wa-huwa al-Amīnu_

I walk the path by the Sacred Law toward the Truth, behind the "Truthful One" (the Prophet), and he is the Trustworthy.

**5.** نَبْتَــدِي عِنْــــدَ حَمْــدِهِ ثُــمَّ نَمْضِـي / نَشْهَدُ الْحَــقَّ وَهْـــوَ جَــلَّ الْمُبِيــنُ

_Nab-tadī ‘inda ḥamdihi thumma namḍī / Nash-hadu al-Ḥaqqa wa-huwa jalla al-mubīnu_

We begin with His praise, then we proceed, witnessing the Truth, and He is the Sublime, the Manifest.

**6.** ثُـــــمَّ تَذْكَارُ وَعْـــدِهِ وَهْــوَ وَعْــدٌ / مِنْ كَرِيمٍ وَهْـــوَ الْجَلِيــلُ الْمُعِيــنُ

_Thumma tadh-kāru wa‘dihi wa-huwa wa‘dun / Min karīmin wa-huwa al-Jalīlu al-mu‘īnu_

Then the remembrance of His promise—and it is a promise from a Generous One, the Majestic, the Helper.

**7.** وَنَخَـــافُ الْوَعِيــدَ أَيْضًــا نُرَجِّــي / عَفْــــــوَهُ فَالْغُفْـــرَانُ حَقًّا يَكُــونُ

_Wa-nakhāfu al-wa‘īda ayḍan nurajjī / ‘Afwahu fal-ghuf-rānu ḥaqqan yakūnu_

We fear the threat [of judgment] and also hope for His pardon, for forgiveness truly occurs.

**8.** حَيْــثُ كُنَّــا لَــهُ سَجَدْنَـا وَإِنَّـــا / قَدْ عَدِمْنَا سِـــوَى الْإِلَــهِ يُعِيــنُ

_Ḥaythu kunnā lahu sajadnā wa-innā / Qad ‘adimnā siwa al-ilāhi yu‘īnu_

Wherever we were, we prostrated to Him; for we found none besides God to help.

**9.** فَاهْدِ قَلْبَ الْمُحِبِّ نَحْوَ صِــرَاطٍ / مُسْتَقِيــــمٍ تَرْضَاهُ وَهْـوَ مَكِيــنُ

_Fah-di qalba al-muḥibbi naḥwa ṣirāṭin / Mustaqīmin tar-ḍāhu wa-huwa makīnu_

Guide the heart of the lover toward a straight path which You are pleased with, and it is firmly established.

**10.** وَهْوَ نَهْجُ الرَّسُولِ لاَ نَهْجَ قَوْمٍ / أَغْضَبُوهُ وَالْكُلُّ مِنْهُـــمْ لَعِيــنُ

_Wa-huwa nahju al-Rasūli lā nahja qawmin / Agh-ḍabūhu wal-kullu minhum la‘īnu_

It is the path of the Messenger, not the path of a people who angered him and are all accursed.

**11.** بَلْهَ دِينَ الْأُلَى أَضَلُّوا الْبَرَايَـــا / ثَلَّثُــــوا ثُــــمَّ بَدَّلُـــوا فَأُهِينُــوا

_Bal-ha dīna al-ulā aḍallū al-barāyā / Thallathū thumma baddalū fa-uhīnū_

Far be it from the religion of those who misled creation, made "three" (the Trinity), then changed [the scripture] and were disgraced.

**12.** رَبِّ هَبْ لِي هَــذَا الْكِتَابَ وَهَبْ لِي / سِــــرَّهُ إِذْ مَــا لِــي سِـــوَاهُ مُعِيــنُ

_Rabbi hab lī hādhā al-kitāba wa-hab lī / Sirrahu idh mā lī siwāhu mu‘īnu_

My Lord! Grant me this Book and grant me its secret, for I have no helper besides it.

**13.** كُـنْ نَصِيرِي وَكُنْ طَبِيبِي وَهَبْ لِي / رَشَـــــدًا أَنْـــتَ بِالرَّشَــادِ قَمِيــــنُ

_Kun naṣīrī wa-kun ṭabībī wa-hab lī / Rashadan anta bir-rashādi qamīnu_

Be my supporter and be my physician; grant me right guidance, for You are worthy of guiding.

**14.** دَارِكَنِّــــي وَدَارِكِ الْقَـــرْنَ مَــوْلاَ / يَ أُصِبْنَــــا بِصَدْمَـــةٍ يَــا مَتِيــنُ

_Dārikan-nī wa-dāriki al-qar-na mawlā / Ya uṣibnā bi-ṣad-matin yā Matīnu_

Rescue me and rescue the generation, O Master! We have been struck by a shock, O Firm One.

**15.** سَكِّـــنِ الرَّوْعَ يَـــا لَطِيــفُ فَإِنَّا / قَدْ عَدِمْنَا سِوَاكَ مَـــنْ نَسْتَعِيــنُ

_Sakkini al-raw‘a yā Laṭīfu fa-innā / Qad ‘adimnā siwāka man nasta‘īnu_

Calm the fear, O Gentle One! For we have found none besides You from whom to seek help.

**16.** وَاشْفِنِي ثُمَّ عَافِنِي وَاعْــفُ عَنِّـي / وَاحْصِنَنِّي فَالْحِصْنُ مِنْكَ حَصِينُ

_Wash-finī thumma ‘āfinī wa‘-fu ‘annī / Waḥ-ṣinannī fal-ḥiṣnu minka ḥaṣīnu_

Heal me, grant me well-being, pardon me, and fortify me, for the fortress from You is impenetrable.

**17.** أَعْطِنِـــي مُنْيَتِــي وَبُغْيَــةَ قَلْبِــي / بِأَبِـــي الْأَنْبِيَـــا بِكُـــنْ فَيَكُــونُ

_A‘ṭinī munyatī wa-bugh-yata qalbī / Bi-abi al-anbiyā bi-Kun fa-yakūnu_

Give me my desire and the quest of my heart, by the "Father of the Prophets" (Muhammad), through [the command] "Be" and it is.

By John, Jonah, and Solomon; grant me a life that is good and easy.
