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.** ثِمَـــالُ الْبَرَايَــــا أَحْمَــــدٌ حُبُّـــهُ فَرْضُ / شُيُوخُ الْهُـدَى أَوْصَوْا عَلَى ذَا وَقَدْ حَضُّوا

_Thimālu-l barāyā Aḥmadun ḥubbuhu farḍu / shuyūkhu-l hudā awṣaw ʿalā dhā wa qad ḥaḍḍū_

The support of all creation is Ahmad, whose love is an obligation; the Shaykhs of guidance have commanded this and urged it.

**2.** فَمَــا سَعِـــــدَ الْمَاضُـــونَ إِلاَّ بِحُبِّــهِ / بِهِ سَعِدَ السُّودَانُ وَالْحُمْرُ وَالْبِيـــضُ

_Fa-mā saʿida-l māḍūna illā bi-ḥubbihi / bihi saʿida-s sūdānu wa-l ḥumru wa-l bīḍu_

Those of the past did not find happiness except through his love; through him the black, the red, and the white people found joy.

**3.** فَدَاعِي سُــرُورِي أَنْ بُلِيـــــتُ بِحُبِّــهِ / وَزَادَ وِدَادِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْلَقَ الْفَيْـــضُ

_Fa-dāʿī surūrī an bulītu bi-ḥubbihi / wa zāda widādī qabla an yukhlaqa-l fayḍu_

The cause of my happiness is that I was tested with his love, and my affection increased before the overflow of existence was even created.

**4.** فَفَــاضَ وَسَاقَانِي وَسَاقَى أَحِبَّتِـــي / وَغَيْرُهُمُ فِي غُلَّـــةٍ عَمَّهُـــمْ قَبْــضُ

_Fa-fāḍa wa sāqānī wa sāqā aḥibbatī / wa ghayruhum fī ghullatin ʿammahum qabḍu_

So it overflowed and gave me drink, and gave drink to my beloveds, while others remained in thirst, overtaken by spiritual constriction.

**5.** فَإِنْ نَافَسُوا أَوْ فَاخَـرُوا فَفَخَارُنَـــا / وِدَادُ حَبِيبٍ مَدْحُهُ النَّفْلُ وَالْفَرْضُ

_Fa-in nāfasū aw fākharū fa-fakhārunā / widādu ḥabībin madḥuhu-n naflu wa-l farḍu_

If they compete or boast, then our boast is the affection of a beloved whose praise is both the supererogatory and the obligatory.

**6.** مُحَمَّـــــــدُ خَيْــــرُ الْعَالَمِيـــنَ وَسِيلَتِـــي / أَعِيشُ بِمَدْحِي وَهْوَ لِي النَّقْدُ وَالْعَرْضُ

_Muḥammadu khayru-l ʿālamīna wasīlatī / aʿīshu bi-madḥī wa huwa liy al-naqdu wa-l ʿarḍu_

Muhammad, the best of the worlds, is my means; I live by my praise, and he is to me my capital and my display.

**7.** مُحَمَّـــــــدُ خَيْــــرُ الْعَالَمِيـــنَ وَسِيلَتِـــي / أَعِيشُ بِمَدْحِي وَهْوَ لِي النَّقْدُ وَالْعَرْضُ

_Muḥammadu khayru-l ʿālamīna wasīlatī / aʿīshu bi-madḥī wa huwa liy al-naqdu wa-l ʿarḍu_

Muhammad, the best of the worlds, is my means; I live by my praise, and he is to me my capital and my display.

**8.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ / إِلَيْهِ الْتِجَائِي وَهْوَ لِي الْحِصْنُ إِنْ عَضُّوا

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / ilayhi-ltijā’ī wa huwa liy al-ḥiṣnu in ʿaḍḍū_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; to him is my refuge, and he is my fortress if the enemies bite.

**9.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / بِهِ فَاقَ أَقْطَابَ الْبَرِيَّةِ لِي الْبَيْــــضُ

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / bihi fāqa aqṭāba-l bariyyati liy al-bayḍu_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; through him, my white ones (pure states) surpassed the spiritual poles of creation.

**10.** عَلَيْــــهِ مَــعَ الْآلٍ الْكِــــرَامِ وَصَحْبِــــهِ / جُيُوشُ الْعِدَى بِالْهَاشِمِي اللَّيْثِ قَدْ فُضُّوا

_ʿAlayhi maʿa-l āli-l kirāmi wa ṣaḥbihi / juyūshu-l ʿidā bi-l hāshimiyyi-l laythi qad fuḍḍū_

Upon him, along with the noble Family and his Companions; the armies of the enemies were dispersed by the Hashemite lion.
