PRAISE BE TO GOD I MET THE MASTER OF THE AGE!

A poem in praise of Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA)

- By his beloved muqaddam al-Hajj Ma’abdu Niang (RA)  -

أَلْفُ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَ السَّلَامِ ** عَلَى الْحَبِيبِ سَيِّدِ الْكِيَانِ

Thousand blessings & salutations…upon the Beloved, the Master of Creation (SAW)!

حَمْدًا لِرَبِّي عَلَى لِقَائِي ** أَوْفَرَ حَظٍّ مِنْ ذِي الْأَوَانِ

Thanks to my Lord for making me receive…a most generous portion from the Man of the Age!

بَدْرُ الْبُدُورِ بَحْرُ الْبُحُورِ ** فَيْضُ الْفُيُوضِ وَالْخَتْمُ الثَّانِي

Most Luminous of Moons! Vastest of Oceans!…The Supreme Flood! The Second Seal (of Sainthood)!

شَمْسُ الشُّمُوسِ رَأْسُ الرُّؤُوسِ ** تَاجُ الْعَرُوسِ سَبْعُ الْمَثَانِي

The Suns of Suns! Leader of Leaders…The Crown of a Groom! Manifestation of the 7 verses (Fatihah )

أُفْرِدْتَ فَرْدًا دُعِيتَ عَبْدًا ** رَقْمًا وَ لَفْظًا تَاجُ التِّجَانِي

You were chosen singly! You were named the Servant!…In writing & word! O Crown of Tijani!

عَبْدُ الْإِلَـٰهِ خَلِيلُ اللَّهِ ** حَبِيْبُ اللهِ مَكْتُومُ الثَّانِي

The Servant of the Lord! Friend of Allah!… Beloved of Allah! O Second Maktum (Concealed One)!

غَوْثُ الْعِبَادِ نَفْعُ الْبِلَادِ ** يَاقُوتُ حَقٍّ رُوحُ الْمَعَانِي

The Helper of Creation! The Benefit for the Lands!…The Ruby of Truth! The Spirit of Meanings!

رَدُّ الْأِعْجَازَ إِلـٰى الصُّدُورِ ** آيَاتُ حَقٍّ مَعْنَى الْمَعَانِي

Returner of Wonders to the Chests (of Men)!…The Signs of Truth! The Meaning behind all meanings!

قَرْمُ الْقُرُومِ فَهْمُ الْفُهُومِ ** خَتْمُ الْقُرْآنِ نَافِي السِّنَانِ

Master of masters! Possessor of the Deepest Understanding!…Reciter of Qur’an! Remover of Slumber!

بَرْهَامُ حَظٍّي بَرْهَامُ سَهْمِي ** فَهُوَ حَسْبِي وَ قَدْ كَفَانِي

Barham is my fortune! Barham is my share!…He is enough for me & he is sufficient for me!

مُجْلِي الْفُحُولِ مُعْطِي الْوُصُولِ ** مُبْدِي الشُّئُونِ خَتْمُ الْقُرْآنِ

Surpasser of masters! Granter of Arrival (to God)!…Revealer of Divine Secrets! Reciter of the Qur’an!

رَمْزُ الْوُجُودِ سَعْدُ السُّعُودِ ** وَافِي الْعُهُودِ رَبِيعُ الثَّانِي

Symbol of all Existence! Greatest of Glad-tidings…Keeper of promises! The Second Rabi (Spring)!

أَدَّيْتُ فَرْضِي شَكَرْتُ حَظِّي ** لَبَّيْتُ الدَّاعِي كَمَا دَعَانِي

I fulfilled my duty! Grateful for my fortune!…I answered the Caller when he called me!

أَنْتَ الْمُرَبِّي لِمَنْ يُلَبِّي ** نِدَاءَ صِدْقٍ بِلَا َضَمَانِ

You are the Guide for those who answer…the call of sincerity, unconditionally!

أَنْتَ الْمُنَادِي أَنَا الْمُلَبِّي ** لَبَّيْتُ جَهْرًا دُونَ امْتِحَانِ

You are the Caller! I am the responder!…I respond publicly & un-hesitantly!

بَلْ أَنْتَ النَّادِي ثُمَّ الْمُلَبِّي ** لِذَا أُجِبْتَ بِلَا تَوَانِ

In fact, you’re the caller AND the responder!…That’s why the response was without delay!

هَذَا المُرِيدُ يُرِيدُ رَيًّا ** يَوْمًا وَ لَيْلًا رَبَّ الْجِنَانِ

Here’s a Seeker seeking to quench his thirst…Day & Night O Owner of the Garden!

وَ ذَا مُحِبٌّ يُحِبُّ دَهْشًا ** وَقْتًا وَ سَاعًا فِي الْمَلَوَانِ

Here’s a lover who seeks to be dazzled (by the Light of Allah)…Here and now! Day & Night!

وَ ذَا مُحِبٌّ يُحِبُّ صِدْقًا ** فَأنْتَ صِدْقٌ بِلاَ امْتِنَانِ

Here’s a lover who loves the Truth!…Indeed, you represent the Truth! Without any boast!

أَنَخْتُ رَحْلِي جَنَابَ شَيْخِي ** رَجَوْتُ مِنْهُ دُرَّ الْمَعَانِي

I tied up my camel in the courtyard of my Shaykh…Seeking from him the pearls of meanings!

تَمَّتْ مَقَالِي بِلَا  كَمَالِ ** سَمَيْتُ مِنْهُ نَيْلَ الْأَمَانِي

My poem is concluded, with all its imperfections…I seek through it the attainment of my hopes!

NOTE: Al-Hajj Ma’abdu Niang was from the earliest murids & muqaddams of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse (RA), who called him “The Abu-Bakr & Umar of the Faydah” and “My second being”. He was also Baye’s father-in-law.
