# Harful Baa · حَرْفُ الْبَاءِ

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.** مَا أَقْدَرَ اللّٰهَ أَنْ يُعْطِي بِلاَ سَبَــبٍ / مَا شَاءَهُ دُونَ كَيْدٍ لاَ وَلاَ نَصَــبِ

_Mā aq-dara Allāha an yu‘-ṭiya bi-lā sababin / Mā shā’ahu dūna kaydin lā wa-lā naṣabi_

How Capable is Allah to give without any cause, whatever He wills, without scheme or exhaustion.

**2.** يُعْطِي وَيَمْنَعُ لَمْ يُسْأَلْ وَلَيْسَ لَــهُ / مُعَانِدٌ جَلَّ عَنْ شِرْكٍ وَعَنْ عَقِبِ

_Yu‘-ṭī wa-yam-na‘u lam yus-’al wa-laysa lahu / Mu‘ānidun jalla ‘an shir-kin wa-’an ‘aqibi_

He gives and He withholds—He is not questioned, and He has no opponent; Exalted is He above partners or progeny.

**3.** يَا لَيْتَهُ صَبَّ وَبْلاً مِنْ عَطَـاهُ عَلَـى / ذَا الْعَبْدِ بَرْهَامَ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِي كُرَبِي

_Yā laytahu ṣabba wab-lan min ‘aṭā-hu ‘alā / Dhā al-‘abdi Bar-hāma ḥattā yan-qaḍī kurabī_

Oh, if only He would pour a drenching rain of His gifts upon this servant, Barham (Ibrahim), until my distress is ended.

**4.** يَا مَالِـــكَ النَّــاسِ يَا مَوْلاَيَ يَا صَمَــدًا / هَبْ لِي انْكِشَافَ كُرُوبِي وَانْقِضَا خَبَبِي

_Yā mālika al-nāsi yā mawlāya yā ṣamadan / Hab lī-n-kishāfa kurūbī wa-n-qiḍā khababī_

O King of Mankind! O my Master! O Eternal Refuge! Grant me the uncovering of my griefs and the end of my agitation.

**5.** أَنْتَ الْإِلَــهُ وَأَنْتَ الْحَقُّ أَنْتَ غِيَـــا / ثِي أَعْطِنِي رَاحَتِي وَلْتَكْفِنِي تَعَبِي

_Anta al-ilāhu wa-anta al-ḥaqqu anta ghiyā- / thī a‘-ṭinī rāḥatī wal-tak-finī ta‘abī_

You are the God, You are the Truth, You are my Rescue; give me my rest and suffice me against my weariness.

**6.** وَكُنْ نَصِيرِي وَكُنْ حِصْنِي الْقَوِي وَكَفَى / مَوْلَـى الْبَرِيَّةِ فِــــي الْعَادَاتِ وَالْكُــرَبِ

_Wa-kun naṣīrī wa-kun ḥiṣnī al-qawiyyi wa-kafā / Mawla al-bariyyati fī al-‘ādāti wal-kurabi_

Be my Helper and be my strong Fortress; sufficient is the Master of creation in times of ease and distress.

**7.** وَصَلِّ رَبِّ عَلَى طَـــهَ الْمُشَفَّعِ يَــا / مَوْلاَيَ وَالصَّحْبِ ثُمَّ الْآلِ ثُمَّ أَبِـــي

_Wa-ṣalli rabbi ‘alā Ṭāhā al-mushaffa‘i yā / Mawlāya wal-ṣaḥ-bi thumma al-āli thumma abī_

O my Lord! Bless Taha, the Intercessor, and the companions, the family, and my father.

**8.** وَسَلِّمَـــنْ رَبَّنَــا وَلْتُعْــطِ كَاتِبَــــهُ / بَرْهَامَ مَا رَامَ حِينًا دُونَمَا سَبَــبِ

_Wa-salliman rabbanā wal-tu‘-ṭi kātibahu / Bar-hāma mā rāma ḥīnan dūnamā sababi_

And grant peace, our Lord, and give the writer of these words, Barham, what he desires, in an instant—without any cause.
