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.** دُمُوعٌ كَرَقْـــــــرَاقِ اللُّجَيْـــنِ تُبَرْهِــنُ / عَلَى صِدْقِ شَوْقِي بَيْنَمَا الْوَقْتُ مَوْهِنُ

_Dumūʿun ka-raqrāqi-l lujayni tubarhinu / ʿalā ṣidqi shawqī baynamā-l waqtu mawhinu_

Tears like shimmering silver prove the sincerity of my longing while the time is late night.

**2.** عَلَى هَيْكَلٍ فَوْقَ الْغَمَائِـــــمِ قَاصِـــدًا / مَزَارَكَ أَعْلَى النَّاسِ خَلْقًا وَأَحْسَـنُ

_ʿAlā haykalin fawqa-l ghamā’imi qāṣidan / mazāraka aʿla-n nāsi khalqan wa aḥsanu_

Upon a frame (vessel) above the clouds, heading toward your visitation—O highest of people in character and most beautiful.

**3.** مُحَمَّـــدُ يَا خَيْـــرَ الْأَنَامِ فَمَا تَــرَى / لِـتَـيْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْحُبِّ وَالْمَدْحَ يُحْسِــنُ

_Muḥammadu yā khayra-l anāmi fa-mā tarā / li-taymin shadīdi-l ḥubbi wa-l madḥa yuḥsinu_

O Muhammad, O best of mankind, what do you see for a captive of love who is intense in affection and excels in praise?

**4.** إِلَى جَمْعِكَ الْمُـــــدَّاحُ يُنْمَى وَإِنَّـــهُ / أَسِيرُ هَوًى لَمْ يُلْفَ فِي الدَّهْرِ يُتْقِنُ

_Ilā jamʿika-l muddāḥu yunmā wa innahu / asīru hawan lam yulfa fī-d dahri yutqinu_

To your gathering the praisers are attributed, and indeed he is a prisoner of passion who has not been found perfecting anything else in time.

**5.** فَكُنْ لِي شَفِيعًا يَا شَفِيعُ فَكُلُّ مَنْ / سِوَاكَ فَقِيرٌ لِلشَّفَاعَـــــةِ مُعْلِـــنُ

_Fa-kun liy shafīʿan yā shafīʿu fa-kullu man / siwāka faqīrun li-sh shafāʿati muʿlinu_

So be an intercessor for me, O Intercessor; for everyone besides you is poor and openly declares their need for intercession.

**6.** وَإِنِّـيَ أَرْجُوهَا بَشِيرُ وَلَمْ أَنَلْ / لَـهَا سَبَبًا غَيْرَ الْكَبَائِـــرِ تُعْلَـــــنُ

_Wa inniya arjūhā bashīru wa lam anal / lahā sababan ghayra-l kabā’iri tuʿlanu_

And I hope for it, O Bringer of Glad Tidings, though I have found no cause for it other than great sins that are declared.

**7.** أَتَيْتُكَ لاَ أَرْجُو سِـــــوَاكَ مُحَمَّــدًا / وَأَنْتَ مَزُورِي أَنْتَ لِلْخَيرِ مَعْدِنُ

_Ataytuka lā arjū siwāka Muḥammadā / wa anta mazūrī anta li-l khayri maʿdinu_

I have come to you hoping in none but you, Muhammad; you are the one I visit and you are the metal (source) of all good.

**8.** بِفَارَانَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ بِالْبَيْتِ تَقْبَلَـــنْ / خَدِيمًا رَفِيقًـــا لِلْجِنَـــانِ فَيُــوذَنُ

_Bi-Fārāna bi-l Baṭḥā’i bi-l Bayti taqbalan / khadīman rafīqan li-l jināni fa-yū dhanam_

In Paran, in the Bathā’, and at the House—accept a servant as a companion of the gardens so he may be granted entry.

**9.** فَصِلْنِي رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ طَــــهَ مُؤَمَّنًــا / فَلَمْ يَكُ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِكَ مَأْمَــنُ

_Fa-ṣilnī rasūla-llāhi Ṭāhā mu’ammanā / falam yaku liy min ʿindi ghayrika ma’manu_

So connect me, O Messenger of Allah, Taha, as one made safe; for I have no place of safety except with you.

**10.** أُرَانِي كَغَيْرِي لاَجِئًا عِنْدَ بَابِكُــمْ / وَكُلٌّ عَظِيمُ السُّؤْلِ كُلٌّ يُدَنْــــدِنُ

_Urānī ka-ghayrī lājī’an ʿinda bābi-kum / wa kullu ʿaẓīmu-s su’li kullu yudandinu_

I see myself like others, taking refuge at your door; everyone has great requests and everyone is humming their pleas.

**11.** بِمَوْقِــــــفِ بَـــدْرٍ لاَ يَزَالُ تَذَكُّــرِي / إِلَى مَنْ غَدَا يَحْمِي الذِّمَارَ وَيُومِــنُ

_Bi-mawqifi Badrin lā yazālu tadha-kkurī / ilā man ghadā yaḥmī-dh dhimāra wa yūminu_

At the site of Badr, my remembrance remains constant of the one who became the protector of the honor and the grantor of safety.

**12.** أَتَيْتُكَ يَا خَيْرَ الْخَلاَئِـــقِ مَوْهِنًـــا / أُرَجِّيكَ تُعْلِينِي وَحَالِيَ تُحْسِـــنُ

_Ataytuka yā khayra-l khalā’iqi mawhinan / urajjīka tuʿlīnī wa ḥāliya tuḥsinu_

I came to you, O best of creation, in the late night, hoping you will elevate me and improve my condition.

**13.** وَتَشْفِي سِقَامِي تَجْبُرُ الْكَسْرَ سَيِّدِي / وَتَعْفُو عَنْ أَسْوَاءٍ دَرَاهَا الْمُهَيْمِــنُ

_Wa tashfī siqāmī tajburu-l kasra sayyidī / wa taʿfū ʿan aswā’in darāhā-l muhayminu_

And heal my sicknesses and mend the brokenness, my master; and forgive the evils that the All-Preserving One knows.

**14.** مَرَرْتُ بِبَدْرٍ بِالْفُرَيْـــــشِ بِرَابِـــغٍ / لِمَسْجِدِهِ وَالْحَرُّ فِــي الْقَلْبِ مُكْمَــنُ

_Marartu bi-Badrin bi-l Furayshi bi-Rābighin / li-masjidihi wa-l ḥarru fī-l qalbi mukmanu_

I passed by Badr, al-Furaysh, and Rabigh toward his mosque, while the heat was hidden within my heart.

**15.** لَكَ الْعَهْدُ مِنِّي يَا رَسُـــولُ فَإِنَّنِــي / أُحِبُّكَ حَتَّى حِينَ فِي الْقَبْرِ أُدْفَــنُ

_Laka-l ʿahdu minnī yā rasūlu fa-innanī / uḥibbuka ḥattā ḥīna fī-l qabri ud-fanu_

You have a covenant from me, O Messenger; for I shall love you even until the time I am buried in the grave.

**16.** يُؤَرِّقُنِي حُبِّيكَ لَيْلِي وَكَيْـــفَ لاَ / وَلاَ حَسَنٌ إِلاَّ لِحُسْنِــــكَ يَذْعَــنُ

_Yu’arriqunī ḥubbīka laylī wa kayfa lā / walā ḥasanun illā li-ḥusnika yadhʿanu_

Your love keeps me awake at night, and how could it not? For there is no beauty except that it submits to your beauty.

**17.** عَلَيْكَ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / أَتَاكَ خَدِيمٌ قَاصِرٌ وَهْوَ مُومِـــنُ

_ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / atāka khadīmun qāṣirun wa huwa muminu_

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; a falling servant has come to you, yet he is a believer.

**18.** عَلَيْكَ أَيَا كَنْــــزَ الْبَرَايَــا نَبِيَّنَــا / صَلاَةٌ وَتَسْلِيــــمٌ وَإِنَّكَ مَأْمَــنُ

_ʿAlayka ayā kanza-l barāyā nabiyyanā / ṣalātun wa taslīmun wa innaka ma’manu_

Upon you, O treasure of creation, our Prophet, be blessings and peace; for indeed you are the place of safety.

**19.** عَلَيْكَ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / فَمَا لِيَ كَنْـــزٌ لاَ وَلاَ لِيَ مَعْــدِنُ

_ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / fa-mā liy kanzun lā wa lā liy maʿdinu_

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; for I have no treasure, no, nor do I have a source of wealth.

**20.** عَلَيْكَ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / وَلاَ عَمَلٌ يُنْجِي مِنَ النَّارِ مُتْقَــنُ

_ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu / walā ʿamalun yunjī mina-n nāri mutqanu_

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; and no perfected deed that saves from the fire.

**21.** عَلَيْكَ مَدَى الْأَيَّامِ مَا قَالَ خَــــادِمٌ / دُمُوعٌ كَرَقْرَاقِ اللُّجَيْـــنِ تُبَرْهِــنُ

_ʿAlayka madā-l ayyāmi mā qāla khādimun / dumūʿun ka-raqrāqi-l lujayni tubarhinu_

Upon you throughout the days as long as a servant says: Tears like shimmering silver prove.
