From [Yaa Mula · يَا مُولَعاً بِالطَّرَبِ](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/qasaaid/69ad9286598e75890f42460c) by [Sheikh Yahya Ibn Mohammadil Amiin](https://qasaaid.zayfir.app/app/authors/69aa1474605db4fa2e5e4fdb)

**1.** يَا مُولَعاً بِالطَّرَبِ / رَاغِبَ عَنْ تَعَتُّبِ / وَالزَّيْغِ وَالتَّجَنُّبِ / انْهَضْ لِمَدْحِ الْقُطْبِ

_Yā mūla‘an biṭ-ṭarabi / Rāghiba ‘an ta‘attubi / Waz-zayghi wat-tajannubi / Inhaḍ li-mad-ḥil-Quṭbi_

O you who are infatuated with spiritual ecstasy, desiring to turn away from blame, deviation, and avoidance—arise to praise the "Qutb" (Spiritual Pole)!

**2.** أَعْنِي بِهِ غَوْثَ الْوَرَى / سُمَّ الْعِدَى طِبَّ الْوَرَى / بَرْهَامَ مَنْ بِهِ نَرَى / كُلَّ الْمُنَى وَالْمَطْلَبِ

_A‘nī bihi ghawthal-warā / Summal-‘idā ṭibbal-warā / Bar-hāma man bihi narā / Kullal-munā wal-maṭlabi_

I mean by him the Succor of creation, the poison for enemies, the medicine for humanity: Ibrahim (Baye Niass), through whom we see all our desires and goals.

**3.** مَنْ نَالَهُ نَالَ الْمُنَى / وَفَاتَهُ كُلُّ الْعَنَا / حِبِّيَ رَاجِيَ الْهَنَا / أَبْشِرْ بِنَيْلِ الْمَطْلَبِ

_Man nālahu nālal-munā / Wa-fātahu kullul-‘anā / Ḥibbīya rājiyal-hanā / Abshir bi-naylil-maṭlabi_

Whoever reaches him reaches their desires, and all their exhaustion fades away. My friend, who hopes for bliss, receive glad tidings of attaining your goal.

**4.** كُلٌّ بِهِ قَدِ اهْتَدَى / بَعْدَ الضَّلَالِ وَالرَّدَى / فِي كَفِّهِ بَحْرُ النَّدَى / يَمَصُّهُ مَنِ اجْتُبِي

_Kullun bihi qadih-tadā / Ba‘daḍ-ḍalāli war-radā / Fī kaffihi baḥrun-nadā / Yamaṣ-ṣuhu mani-jtubī_

Everyone has been guided through him after misguidance and ruin; in his palm is an ocean of generosity, which the chosen ones sip from.

**5.** لَقَدْ رَقَى كُلَّ الْمَقَامْ / اخْتَصَرَ عَنْهُ الْفِخَامْ / لِكَوْنِهِ جَدَّ الْكِرَامْ / حَبِيبَ يَاسِينَ النَّبِي

_Laqad raqā kullal-maqām / Ikhtaṣara ‘anhul-fikhām / Li-kawnihi jaddal-kirām / Ḥabība Yāsīnan-nabī_

He has ascended every spiritual station; greatness has been summarized within him because he is the noble forefather [spiritually] and the beloved of Yasin (the Prophet ﷺ).

**6.** وَقَدْ حَبَاهُ الْمُصْطَفَى / كُلَّ الْعَطَاءِ وَاكْتَفَى / بِهِ عَدُوُّهُ جَفَى / أَكْرِمْ بِهَذَا الْقُطْبِ

_Wa-qad ḥabāhul-Muṣṭafā / Kullal-‘aṭā’i wak-tafā / Bihi ‘aduwwuhu jafā / Akrim bi-hādhāl-Quṭbi_

The Chosen One (the Prophet ﷺ) has gifted him every bounty; his enemy has grown distant through him. How noble is this Spiritual Pole!

**7.** وَاللَّهِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ / إِلَّا الْإِلَهُ وَحْدَهُ / وَالْمُنْحَمِنَّا حِبُّهُ / طَهَ رَفِيعُ الْمَنْصِبِ

_Wal-Lāhi lā ya‘rifuhu / Illal-ilāhu waḥduhu / Wal-munḥamin-nā ḥibbuhu / Ṭāhā rafī‘ul-manṣibi_

By Allah, none truly knows him except God alone, and the one who granted us his love: Taha (the Prophet ﷺ), who is of the highest rank.

**8.** فَيَا مَفَازَ الْمُتَّقِي / حَبِيبِ بَرْهَامَ النَّقِي / يَا فَوْزَهُ فَقَدْ وُقِي / شَرَّ الْعِدَى وَمَنْ غُبِي

_Fa-yā mafāzal-muttaqī / Ḥabībi Bar-hāman-naqī / Yā fawzahu fa-qad wuqi / Sharral-‘idā wa-man ghubī_

O, the success of the God-conscious lover of the pure Ibrahim! O, his victory, for he has been protected from the evil of enemies and the ignorant.

**9.** وَيَا خَسَارَ الْمُنْكِرِ / أَلَيْسَ بِالْمُدَكِّرِ / بِقَوْلَةِ الْمُدَثِّرِ / آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ

_Wa-yā khasāral-munkiri / Alaysa bid-mud-dakkiri / Bi-qawlatil-mud-dath-thiri / Ādhantuhu bil-ḥarbi_

And O, the loss of the denier! Is he not mindful of the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: "I have declared war against him [who harms My saint]"?

**10.** وَلَوْ بَدَا لِمُنْكِرِ / مَا قَدْ بَدَا لِمُبْصِرِ / لَمَا طَغَى حِينَ قُرِي / مَدْحُ الَّذِي قَدِ اجْتُبِي

_Wa-law badā li-munkiri / Mā qad badā li-mub-ṣiri / Lamā ṭaghā ḥīna qurī / Mad-ḥul-ladhī qadi-jtubī_

If there appeared to the denier what has appeared to the one with spiritual vision, he would not have transgressed when the praise of the chosen one was recited.

**11.** وَقَدْ كَفَانِي أَنَّنِي / أُحِبُّهُ يُحِبُّنِي / وَقَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي / يَفُزْ بِلَا تَرَيُّبِ

_Wa-qad kafānī annanī / Uḥibbuhu yuḥibbunī / Wa-qāla man aḥabbanī / Yafuz bilā tarayyubi_

It is enough for me that I love him and he loves me; he said, "Whoever loves me shall triumph without doubt."

**12.** بَرْهَامُ يَا بَحْرَ النَّدَى / بَدْرَ الدُّجَى شَمْسَ الْهُدَى / رُوحَ الْوَرَى حَتْفَ الْعِدَى / مُنْقِذَ كُلِّ مُذْنِبِ

_Bar-hāmu yā baḥran-nadā / Badrad-dujā shamsal-hudā / Rūḥal-warā ḥat-fal-‘idā / Mun-qidha kulli mudhnibi_

Ibrahim! O ocean of generosity, full moon of the darkness, sun of guidance, soul of creation, death of enemies, and savior of every sinner.

**13.** خَدِيمُكُمْ يَحْيَى الْأَمِينْ / قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ فَلَا يَمِينْ / فِي قَلْبِهِ حُبُّ الْأَمِينْ / أَخِلُّ كُنْ لِي أَقْرَبِ

_Khadīmukum Yaḥyāl-Amīn / Qad jā’akum falā yamīn / Fī qalbihi ḥubbul-Amīn / Akhilla kun lī aqrabi_

Your servant, Yahya al-Amin, has come to you; there is no doubt that in his heart is the love of the Trustworthy One (the Prophet). O friend, be closer to me!

**14.** أَنْتَ سِرَاجُنَا الْمُنِيرْ / يَؤُمُّكُمْ جَمْعٌ غَفِيرْ / وَقَدْ أَتَيْتُ مُسْتَجِيرْ / لِرَفْعِ مَا قَدْ حَلَّ بِهِ

_Anta sirājunāl-munīr / Ya’ummukum jam‘un ghafīr / Wa-qad ataytu mus-tajīr / Li-raf-‘i mā qad ḥalla bihi_

You are our illuminating lamp; a vast assembly follows you. I have come seeking refuge to lift what has befallen me.

**15.** أَنْتَ مَلَاذُ اللَّاهِفِ / أَجَلْ وَأَمْنُ الْخَائِفِ / وَرَأْسُ كُلِّ الطَّائِفِ / مِنَ الرِّجَالِ الْهُذَّبِ

_Anta malādhul-lāhifi / Ajal wa-amnul-khā’ifi / Wa-ra’su kulliṭ-ṭā’ifi / Minar-rijālil-hudh-dhabi_

You are the refuge of the yearning soul, yes, and the safety of the fearful; the head of every group of refined men.

**16.** إِنْيَاسُ أَنْتَ ذُخْرَتِي / فِي الْحَشْرِ أَي وَبُغْيَتِي / فِي مَحْضَرِي وَغَيْبَتِي / وَمَأْكَلِي وَمَشْرَبِي

_Inyāsu anta dhukhratī / Fīl-ḥashri ay wa-bugh-yatī / Fī maḥ-ḍarī wa-ghaybatī / Wa-ma’kalī wa-mash-rabī_

Niass, you are my treasure for the Gathering [Resurrection], yes, and my goal; in my presence and my absence, in my food and my drink.

**17.** قَصْدِيَ أَنْ تَقُودَنِي / إِلَيْكَ وَتَمُدَّنِي / حُبُّكَ قَدْ شَغَفَنِي / عَنْ فَرْتَنَا وَزَيْنَبِ

_Qaṣdī an taqūdanī / Ilayka wa-tamuddanī / Ḥub-buka qad shaghaf-nanī / ‘An Far-tanā wa-Zaynabi_

My intent is for you to lead me to yourself and support me; your love has infatuated me, turning me away from [worldly lovers like] Fartana and Zaynab.

**18.** فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَيَمَّهُ / حُبُّكَ لَا يَهُمُّهُ / سِوَاكُمْ لِأَنَّهُ / عَنْ غَيْرِ فِي تَغَيُّبِ

_Fa-inna man tayyamahu / Ḥub-buka lā yahummuhu / Siwākum li-annahu / ‘An ghayri fī taghayyubi_

For whoever is captivated by your love, nothing else concerns him, because he is in a state of absence from everything else.

**19.** يَا قَائِدَ الدِّينِ الْحَنِيفْ / أَنْتَ الْمُنِيلْ أَنْتَ الْمُضِيفْ / فَجُدْ لِحِبِّكَ الضَّعِيفْ / بِالْعِلْمِ وَالتَّأَدُّبِ

_Yā qā’idad-dīnil-ḥanīf / Antal-munīl antal-muḍīf / Fa-jud li-ḥibbikaḍ-ḍa‘īf / Bil-‘ilmi wat-ta’addubi_

O leader of the upright religion, you are the granter and the host; so be generous to your weak lover with knowledge and refined character.

**20.** يَا فَوْزَتِي تَفَضَّلِي / آنَ الْأَوَانُ فَانْزِلِي / تَعَجَّلِي تَعَجَّلِي / تَعَجَّلِي لِتَطْرُبِي

_Yā fawzatī tafaḍ-ḍalī / Ānal-awānu fan-zilī / Ta‘aj-jalī ta‘aj-jalī / Ta‘aj-jalī li-taṭ-rubī_

O my victory, come forth! The time has arrived, so descend. Hasten, hasten, hasten to experience the ecstasy!

**21.** مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ اتَّصَلْ / وَمَا لِغَيْرِهِ انْفَصَلْ / رَبِّي عَلَيْكَ الْمُتَّكَلْ / فَكُنْ لِعَبْدٍ مُذْنِبِ

_Mā kāna lil-Lāhi-ttaṣal / Wa-mā li-ghayrihi-nfaṣal / Rabbī ‘alaykal-muttakal / Fa-kun li-‘abdin mudhnibi_

What is connected for Allah's sake endures, and what is for other than Him is severed. My Lord, in You is my trust, so be there for a sinful servant.

**22.** سَلَامٌ مِنْكَ يَا رَحِيمْ / عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ الْكَرِيمْ / بَرْهَامَ مَنْ هُوَ الزَّعِيمْ / لِفَيْضِنَا الْمُمَرْحَبِ

_Salāmun minka yā Raḥīm / ‘Alā ḥabībikal-Karīm / Bar-hāma man huwaz-za‘īm / Li-fayḍināl-mumar-ḥabi_

Peace from You, O Merciful, be upon Your noble beloved, Ibrahim—who is the leader of our welcoming Spiritual Flood (Fayda).

**23.** رِضَاكَ يَا إِلَهَنَا / عَنْ حِبِّنَا مُمِدِّنَا / وَمَنْبَعِ لِرُشْدِنَا / عُثْمَانَ الْمُهَذَّبِ

_Riḍāka yā ilāhanā / ‘An ḥibbinā mumiddinā / Wa-manba‘in li-rushdinā / ‘Uthmānal-muhadh-dhabi_

Your pleasure, O our God, be upon our beloved who supports us and is the source of our guidance: the refined Uthman.

**24.** لَا تَنْسَ رَبِّي حِبَّهُ / قَرِينَهُ صَدِيقَهُ / ذَاكَ الرَّشِيدُ خِلُّهُ / هَارُونَ ذُو التَّقَرُّبِ

_Lā tansa rabbī ḥibbahu / Qarīnahu ṣadīqahu / Dhākar-rashīdu khillahu / Hārūna dhūt-taqarrubi_

Do not forget, my Lord, his beloved companion and friend—that guided one, his close friend: Harun, the one of proximity.

**25.** كَذَاكَ رَبِّي إِخْوَتِي / فِي اللَّهِ أَيْ وَأُسْرَتِي / قَدِ انْتَهَتْ قَصِيدَتِي / إِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِنْ رَجَبِ

_Kadhalika rabbī ikhwatī / Fil-Lāhi ay wa-usratī / Qadi-ntahat qaṣīdatī / Ithnay ‘ashara min Rajabi_

Likewise, my Lord, my brothers in God and my family. My poem ended on the twelfth of Rajab.

**26.** الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي / مَنَّ عَلَى الْعُبَيْدِ ذِي / تَشَوُّقِ أَلَا فَذِي / قَصِيدَةُ التَّطَرُّبِ

_Al-ḥamdu lil-Lāhil-ladhī / Manna ‘alal-‘ubaydi dhī / Tashaw-wuqin alā fadhī / Qaṣīdatut-taṭarrubi_

Praise be to Allah who favored this small servant with longing. Lo, this is the "Poem of Ecstasy."

**27.** ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامْ / عَلَى النَّبِي خَيْرِ الْأَنَامْ / وَالآلِ وَالصَّحْبِ الْكِرَامْ / وَالْأَتِّبَاعِ الْهُذَّبِ

_Thummaṣ-ṣalātu was-salām / ‘Alān-nabī khayril-anām / Wal-āli waṣ-ṣaḥbil-kirām / Wal-at-tibā‘il-hudh-dhabi_

Then prayer and peace be upon the Prophet, the best of mankind, and his noble family, companions, and the refined followers.
