SAFĀ LIYA WAQTĪ (MY TIME IS FOR ME ONLY!)

- By Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA) -  

صَفَا لِيَ وَقْتِي وَالْحَبِيبُ يُخَصِّصُ 

وَ إِنِّيَ مَحْبُوبٌ لِطَهَ مُخَصَّصُ

My time is for me only....and surely the Beloved chooses (whom he wishes)!

And indeed I am a Beloved of Taha ﷺ; chosen specially for him!

 

مُرَادٌ لِحَمْلِ السِّرِّ مِنْ قَبْلِ نَشْأَتِي 

مُرَبٍّ لِكُلِّ الْعَارِفِينَ وَ مُخْلِصُ

And I was chosen to carry the Secret even before I was created...

And (appointed then) a Pure Guide for all the Knowers (of Allah)!

 

وَ إِنْ دَهِشَ الْأَقْطَابُ يَوْمًا بِمَشْهَدٍ 

رَأَوْنِي وَانْقَادُوا إِلَيَّ وَ أَخْلَصُوا

And indeed I’ve seen all the Qutbs (Supreme Saints of the Islam)…

Fully submitting & acquiescing to my authority!

 

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَصَّ بِأَنَّنِي 

سَفِيرٌ لَهُ فِي الْكَائِنَاتِ مُخَلِّصُ

And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ clearly stating that:

I am his Emissary to all Creation, and a Saviour (for them)!

 

عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ سَلَامُهُ

وَ آلٍ وَ أَصْحَابِ سَمَوْا وَ تَخَصَّصُوا

May the Blessing & Salutations of Allah be upon him...

And upon his Family & Companions, who rise (in rank); the chosen ones!
