فَمَا لِيَ غَيْرَ الْمُصْطَفَى الْبَدْرِ مَأْرَبُ

FAMĀ LĪ GHAYRA-L MUSTAFĀ-L BADRI MA'RABU

I DESIRE NO ONE BUT THE CHOSEN PROPHET!

A Poem by Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA)

(From his Diwan Iksir al-Sa’adat: Harf al-Ba)

فَمَا لِيَ غَيْرَ الْمُصْطَفَى الْبَدْرِ مَأْرَبُ

وَ فِي جَائِزَاتِ الْغَيْرِ مَا لِيَ مَرْغَبُ

I desire no one but the Chosen Prophet, the Full moon (of Beauty)!

And I partake not from the bounties of anyone but him!

هُوَ الْكُلُّ مِنْهُ الْكُلُّ بَطْناً وَ ظَاهِراً

فَبَحْرٌ سِوَاهُ مَا لَنَا فِيهِ مَشْرَبُ

He is everything & everything is from him, inwardly & outwardly!

And we drink not from any Ocean other than him!

فَمِنْ نُورِهِ الْكَوْنَانِ مِنْهُ تَفَجَّرَتْ

عُلُومُ جَمِيعِ الرُّسْلِ وَالْكُلُّ يَشْرَبُ

For truly from his Light were created both worlds!

And from him emanates the knowledge of all prophets. And all drink from him!

فَمُوسَى وَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالرُّوحُ كُلُّهُمْ

تَوَسَّلَ بِالْهَادِي الْأَمِينِ فَقُرِّبُوا

For Moses, Abraham and the Holy Spirit (Jesus)…

All sought the intercession of our Trusted Guide (SAW) & attained Divine proximity!

هُوَ الْكَامِلُ الْمَحْمُودُ وَالسُّؤْلُ وَالْمُنَى

وَ أَنْتَ الْحَبِيبُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَالْمُقَرَّبُ

For he is the Perfect One, the Praiseworthy One, the Ultimate Goal & the Desire!

And you’re the Beloved One, the Chosen One and the Closest One (to God)!

وَ قَدْ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ بِأَنَّهُ

عَظِيمٌ لِخَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ خُلْقٌ مُهَذَّبُ

And God the Greatest testified to the greatness of …

the exemplary Character of the Best of Creation!

عَلَيْكَ صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ سَلَامُهُ

صلاةً بِهَا يَنْقَادُ لِلْعَبْدِ مَطْلَبُ

May the Blessings & Salutations of Allah be upon you…

A Blessing, through which this slave accomplishes all his goals!

عَلَيْكَ صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ طَرْفَةٍ

كَذَاكَ سَلامٌ مِثْلَ مِسْكٍ أَوْ أَطْيَبُ

May the Blessings of Allah be upon you, with every blink of the eye…

And Salutations likewise, fragrant as Musk & better!

عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ سَلَامُهُ

صَلاةً لَنَا كُلَّ الْمَقَامَاتِ تَجْلِبُ

May the Blessings & Salutations of Allah be upon him…

A Blessing, through which I attain all the Ranks (of closeness to Allah)!

عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــــهُ

صَلاَةً لَنَا بِالْمُصْطَفَى الْجَدْبُ يَخْصِبُ

May the Blessings & Salutations of Allah be upon him…

A Blessing which fertilizes our droughty lands, by the Chosen One!

عَلَيْهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــــهُ

مَعَ الْآلِ وَالْأَصْحَابِ دَهْرًا تُقَــــرِّبُ

May the Blessings & Salutations of Allah be upon him and upon…

his Family & Companions. A Blessing that always draws us closer to God!

IN MY HEART IS A YEARNING!

LI-QALBĪ MINA-L ASHWĀQ MĀ HAYRA-L FIKRĀ

لِقَلْبِي مِنَ الْأَشْوَاقِ مَــا حَيَّرَ الْفِكْـرَا

A Poem by Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA)

(From his Diwan Salwat al-Shujun: Harf al-Ra)

لِقَلْبِي مِنَ الْأَشْوَاقِ مَــا حَيَّرَ الْفِكْـرَا

وَ أَفْنَيْتُ فِيهِ السَّجْعَ وَالنَّظْمَ وَالنَّثْرَا

In my heart is a Yearning that has baffled my mind!

And to it, I have devoted my rhymes, poems & prose!

إِلَى أَحْمَدٍ شَوْقِـــي وَ وَجْدِي وَ لَوْعَتِـي

وَمَا لِي دَوًا فِي غَيْرِ أَنْ أَنْسِجَ الشِّعْرَا

For Ahmad (SAW) is my yearning, my passion & my grieving…

And I have no other medicine (for my grief) but the composing of poetry!

إِذَا ذُكِـــرَ الْمُخْتَارُ حَنَّتْ يَرَاعَتِــي

لِتَزْيِينِ مَدْحٍ دُونَ أَنْ أُعْمِلَ الْفِكْـرَا

So whenever the Chosen One (SAW) is mentioned, my pen moves…

to praise him…without any need to activate my mind!

لِأَنَّ رَسُـــولَ اللّٰهِ مَـــــدْحٌ وَ رُوحُــــهُ

فَقُلْ فِيهِ مَا قَدْ شِئْتَ لاَ تَخْتَشِ الْإِطْرَا

Because the Messenger of Allah (SAW) is the essence of all praiseworthiness!

So say in his praise what you wish & do not fear any exaggeration!

إِذَا قُلْـــتَ عَبْـــدُ اللّٰهِ سَيِّــــــدُ خَلْقِــهِ

لِتَنْسِبْ لَهُ مَا شِــأْتَ لاَ تَخْتَشِ الْكُفْرَا

As long as you say that he is the Servant of Allah & the Master of His Creation…

Attribute to him (thereafter) whatever you wish…without fearing Kufr (Blasphemy)!

هُوَ الْكُـــلُّ مِنْهُ الْكُــلُّ حَقًّــا وَ إِنَّــهُ

اصْطَفَاهُ وَ أَعْطَاهُ قَدِيمًا وَ لاَ حَجْرَا

For truly he is everything & everything is from him (i.e. his light)

Chosen eternally (by God) and granted blessings without limit!

أَتَـــى أَوَّلَ التَّوْحِيـــدِ أَوَّلَ ذَاكِــرٍ

وَ أَوَّلَ مَذْكُورٍ وَ رَبِّي بِــهِ أَسْرَى

He was the first one to affirm the Oneness of Allah & the first one to praise Him!

And the first one to be mentioned by our Lord…Who took him on the Nightly Ascent!

لَهُ وَ إِلَيْـــــــهِ كُــلُّ شَــأْنٍ وَ إِنَّــهُ

حَبِيبُ إِلَــهِ الْخَلْقِ نَاطَ بِهِ الْأَمْـرَا

For him and towards him move all Divine Affairs…

For he is the Beloved of the Lord of Creation, Who attached the matter to him!

لَــهُ الرَّأْسُ مِنِّــي ثُمَّ وَجْهِي وَ لِحْيَتِــي

وَ ظَهْرِي وَ بَطْنِي وَالْوَلاَءُ وَ مَا جَرَى

To him belongs my head, my face and my beard…

My outward & my inward…and the whole of my loyalty!

أَتَيْتُــكَ عَبْــــدًا إِنْ تَسُمْـــهُ بِبَيْعِــهِ

جِهَارًا يَرَى ذَا مِنْكُــمُ عِنْدَهُ فَخْــرَا

I come to you as a slave, and if you wish to sell me in the market…

Then I will only consider it an honour for me (to be sold by you)!

أَتَيْتُكَ لاَ أَرْجُــو سِـــوَاكَ وَ إِنَّنِــي

فَقِيرٌ وَقِيرٌ لاَ مَنَـــالَ وَ لاَ صَبْـرَا

For I come to you seeking none but you…

And I am but a pitiable beggar devoid of any fortune or patience!

نَزَلْتُ لَــــدَى خَيْـــرِ الْوَرَى مُتَكَفِّفًــا

وَ أَرْجُو بِهِ مَا لَمْ يَنَلْ مَنْ أَتَى مِصْرَا

I have come to the Best of Creation (SAW), seeking his benevolence…

Hoping to receive more than (what Yusuf) gained in Egypt (of wealth & authority)!

تُنِيلُ الْمُنَــى وَلْتَدْفَعِ الشَّـرَّ عَاجِــلاً

فَغَيْرُكَ لاَ يُعْطِي نَوَالاً وَلَوْ نَــزْرَا

So grant me my wishes and ward off all evil speedily…

For none other than you can grant anything of value. Not a bit!

سَمَوْتَ عَنِ الْأَكْوَانِ بَطْنًا وَ ظَاهِرًا

فَإِنَّـكَ خَيْــرُ الْمُرْسَلِيـنَ لَنَــــا طُــرَّا

Indeed you’re exalted above all the worlds, inwardly & outwardly!

And you’re the greatest of all Prophets of God absolutely!

بِسِــرِّكَ يَــــا خَيْــرَ الْبَرِيَّــةِ أَبْتَغِــي

كَمَالَ الْمُنَى وَلْتُعْطِنِي لِلْعِدَى قَهْـــرَا

By your (Divine) secret O Best of Creation I seek the complete fulfilment…

Of all my aspirations…and that make me to subdue all my enemies!

حِمَايَ رَسُــــولُ اللّٰهِ وَهْوَ تَحَصُّنِــي

بِأَمْدَاحِــــهِ نِلْنَـا الْكَرَامَــةَ وَالسِّتْــرَا

For my protection & fortification lies in the Messenger of Allah (SAW)

Through praising him we attained all honour & safety!

أَرُدُّ بِهِ كَيْـــدَ الْعِــدَى فِي نُحُورِهِــمْ

وَ مَكْرَهُـــمُ لاَ بَأْسَ فِينَــا وَلاَ شَــرَّا

Through him I ward off every machination of the enemy, back towards them

And their evil devises do no damage or harm to us all!

نَنَــالُ بِــهِ مَـــــا فَـــاتَ عَــدًّا تَفَضُّــلاً

وَ لاَ غَرْوَ أَنْ نِلْنَا الَّذِي يُعْجِزُ الْحَصْرَا

Through his grace we gained that which is beyond calculation…

And it’s not surprising (for his bounty) that we attain what is beyond count!

كَفَانِــــــي انْتِسَابِــي لِلنَّبِــيِّ وَ حِزْبِــهِ

إِذَا افْتَخَرُوا يَوْمًا كَفَـانِي بِـــهِ فَخْـــرَا

It is enough honour for me that I belong to the Prophet (SAW) & his faction...

When people boast of their factions…..for my pride is in him (SAW) only!

أَلاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ فَارْفَــعْ شِكَايَتِـــي

لِمَوْلاَكَ مَنْ يُعْطِي الْمَنَافِعَ وَالضُّرَّا

O Messenger of Allah (SAW)! Please raise my grievances to Your Lord …

The One who possesses all benefits & harms!

نَرَى الْبَذْلَ وَالْفَيْضَ الْعَظِيمَ وَ ضِدُّنَـــا

يَرَى الْبَأْسَ وَالضَّرَّاءَ وَالشَّرَّ وَالْوِزْرَا

May we see His great Bounty & Outpouring of Generosity…

And may our opponents see injury, harm, evil and misery!

نَرَى الْعِزَّ وَالْفَضْلَ الْجَزِيلَ وَ مَنْ يَثِقْ

بِذَيْلِــكَ حَتْــمٌ أَنْ يَنَـــالَ الْمُنَى تَتْــرَى

May we see great honour & blessings…

For whoever holds on to you must attain his wishes always!

يَسُوقُ إِلَيَّ الْمُصْطَفَـــــى مَا أَرُومُـــهُ

وَ يَسْمَحُ لِي بِالْعَوْدِ مِنْ طَيْبَةَ الْغَــــرَّا

May the Chosen One (SAW) grant to me all that I seek…

And permit me to return to the illuminated (city of) Taybah!

كَشَفْتُ بِحُبِّيهِ الْحِجَــابَ وَ إِنَّنِـــي

طَوَيْتُ بِذِكْرِ الْمُصْطَفَى مَهْمَهًا قَفْـرَا

For by his love I have uncovered the Veil (between God & His creation)…

And by his praises I’ve traversed the harshest deserts (of the spiritual path)!

نَبَذْتُ بِهِ كُلَّ الْعِـــدَى وَ قَصَمْتُهُــمْ

وَ قَطَّعْتُهُمْ لاَ خَيْرَ نَالُوا وَ لاَ ذُخْرَا

By his (SAW) support I have warded off & crushed all enemies…

And I have destroyed them…for they shall attain no goodness or gain!

تُحَــــــاوِلُ أَبْنَـــاءُ الْبَغَايَا مَكِيـــدَةً

لِخَادِمِ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ لاَ حَبَّذَا مَكْــرَا

The sons of dishonourable women deploy every ploy to hurt …

this Servant of the Best of Creation (SAW)…may their ploys be disgraced!

مَشَوْا وَافْتَرَوْا بَلْ زَخْرَفُوا فِي نَمِيمَةً

وَ رَبِّي بِفَضْلٍ مِنْهُ يُولِي الْعِدَى الْقَهْرَا

So they go around everywhere slandering & backbiting me

But my Lord subjugates my enemies, through His Bounty!

نَــــــدُومُ بِحَمْـــدِ اللّٰهِ فِي ظِـــلِّ رَاحَــةٍ

وَ أَمْنٍ عَلَى رَغْمِ الَّذِي يَقْصِدُ الضَّيْرَا

And we remain in peace, ease & safety…thanks be to Allah!

Despite all those who wish to harm (us)!

إِذَا اشْتَغَلُوا بِالْمَكْــرِ وَالزُّورِ إِنَّنِــي

بِمَدْحِ حَبِيبِ اللّٰهِ شُغْلِي كَذَا دَهْــــرَا

If they busy themselves with plots & fabrications (against me)…

I busy myself with praising the Beloved of Allah (SAW), for that’s my task forever!

لَهُ كُلَّ وَقْتٍ مِنْ قَرِيضِي قَصِيــــدَةٌ

أَفُوزُ بِهِ فِي هَــذِهِ الدَّارِ وَالْأُخْــرَى

He shall continue receiving from me poems (in his praise)…

Through which I will attain success in this World & the Hereafter!

ظَلَمْتُ كَثِيرًا كُــــــلَّ ظُلْمٍ وَإِنَّنِــــي

أُوَحِّــــدُ حَقًّـــا دُونَ أَنْ أُشْـــرِكَ الــذَّرَّا

And though I haver transgressed a lot for sure.…

I truly believe in the Oneness of the Real (God), not ascribing any partner to Him!

أُحِبُّ كَذَا خَيْـــــــرَ الْأَنَــامِ مُحَمَّـــدًا

وَ لَمْ أَنْسَهُ مَا دُمْتُ بَرًّا وَ لاَ بَحْـــــرَا

And I also love the Best of Creation Muhammad (SAW)

And I do not forget him ever, on land or at sea!

لَجَأْتُ إِلَيْــــهِ مِنْـــهُ جَلْبِــي مَسَرَّتِــي

وَ دَفْعِي بِهِ لاَ زَيْدَ أَرْجُو وَ لاَ عَمْــرَا

I seek refuge in him (SAW), and from him is derived my joy…

And from him is my safety, for I seek not Zayd or Amr (i.e. anyone else)!

مَحَا حُبُّــهُ حُـــبَّ السِّــــوَى إِنَّ حُبَّـــهُ

مَتَى يَرْسَخَنْ فِي الْقَلْبِ يَنْفِ السِّوَى جَهْرَا

His love has erased the love of all others (in my heart)…

For when his love is established in the heart, it visibly negates all others!

يَؤُمُّ جَنَــابَ الْمُصْطَفَــى كُلَّ بُرْهَــةٍ

صَــــلاَةٌ وَ تَسْلِيـــــمٌ تُنَاسِبُهُ قَـــدْرَا

So may towards the court of the Chosen One (SAW)… always proceed

Blessings & Salutations (of God) in accordance with his sublime rank!

نَكُـــــونُ بِهَا فِي كُــــلِّ عِزٍّ وَ مَنْعَـــةٍ

وَ يُجْرِي لَنَا مِنْ جُودِهِ الْمَجْدَ وَالسَّتْرَا

Through which we remain fully honoured & protected…

And may he grant us glory & safety, through his Grace!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ

الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِقَ وَالْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ

نَاصِرِ الْحَقِّ بِالْحَقِّ

وَالْهَادِي إِلَى صِرَاطِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

وَ عَلَى آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَ مِقْدَارِهِ الْعَظِيمِ

DA‘AUTU RASŪLA RABBA-L KHALQI TURRĀ

I CALLED ON THE MESSENGER OF THE LORD (SAW)

A Poem by Shaykh-al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA)

(From: Al-Kanz al-Masun)

دَعَوْتُ رَسُولَ رَبِّ الْخَلْقِ طُرَّا

لِيَشْفَعَ فِيَّ وَ يَدْفَعَ مَا أَضَرَّا

Da'awtu Rasula Rabbi l-khalqi ṭurrā

li yashfa'a fīyya wa yadfa' mā adarrā

I called on the Messenger of the Lord of all Creation (SAW)...

To intercede for me & ward off all harms!

مُحَمَّدُ خَيْرُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ طُرًّا

مُمِدَّ جَمِيعِهِمْ سِرًّا وَ جَهْرَا

Muḥammadu khayru khalqi llāhi ṭurrān

mummidda jamī'ihim sirrān wa jahrā

Muhammad! The Best of all Creation...

And their supporter, inwardly & outwardly!

بِأَحْمَدَ قَدْ تَوَسَّلَ كُلُّ عَبْدٍ

أُنِيلَ مَرَامَهُ وَ أَزَالَ ضُرَّا

bi-Aḥmada qad tawassala kullu 'abdin

un'ila marāmahu wa azāla ḍurrā

For Ahmad's intercession was sought by every servant (of God)...

That attained his goal and warded off the harms!

فَآدَمُ قَدْ تَوَسَّلَ بِالْمُقَفَّىٰ

وَ نُوحٌ بَعْدَهُ وَ هَلُمَّ جَرَّا

fa-Ādamu qad tawassala bil-muqaffā

wa Nūḥun ba'dahu wa halumma jarrā

For Adam (AS) himself beseeched (God) through the Final (prophet)...

And Nuh (AS) as well, and every prophet thereafter!

لِهَـٰذَا يَا إِلـٰهِي يَا إِلـٰهِي

أَرُومُ بِهِ الْمَطَالِبَ وَهْيَ تَتْرَا

li-hāzā yā Ilāhī ya Ilāhī

arūmu bihi l-maṭāliba wahya tatrā

Therefore (I pray): O my Lord O my Lord...

I seek my wishes through his intercession...and how many are they!

وَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْخَلَائِقُ أَنَّ طَٰهَٰ

الْـوَسِيلَةُ لِي إِمَامُ الْخَلْقِ طُرَّا

wa qad 'alima l-khalā'iqu anna Ṭāhā l-

wasīlatu lī imāmu l-khalqi ṭurrā

And all Mankind knows that Taha, my means (to God)...

Is indeed the Leader of all Creation!

وَثِقْتُ بِهِ وَ يَهْوَاهُ فُؤَادِي

وَ عَوَّدَنِي الْجَمِيلَ أَنَالَ فَخْرَا

wa thiqtu bihi wa yahwāhu fu'ādī

wa 'awwadanī l-jamīla anāla fakhrā

In him, I’ve placed my trust & my heart is in love with him....

For he always showed me goodness, and granted me honour!

وَ أَعْطَانِي الْجَزِيلَ بِكُلِّ آنٍ

وَ جَاوَرَنِي بِذَٰلِكَ نِلْتُ سِرَّا

wa a'ṭānī l-jazīla bi-kulli ānin

wa jāwaranī bi-dhālika niltu sirrā

And he always gave to me in abundance....

And blessed me with his company, by which I attained a great secret!

وَ رَافَقَنِي بِبَحْرٍ أَوْ بِبَرٍّ

وَ أَعْلَانِي عَلَىٰ الْأَقْوامِ بِرَّا

wa rāfaqanī bi-baḥrin aw bi-barrin

wa a'lānī 'alā l-aqwāmi birrā

And he accompanied me, on sea & on land...

And he raised me above all people, out of his kindness!

مُحَمَّدُ وَهْوَ رُوحُ الْحَمدِ سِرُّ

الْـوُجُودِ وَ دَافِعُ الْأَصْنَامِ كَسْرَا

Muḥammadu wa huwa rūḥu l-ḥamdi sirru l-

wujūdi, wa dāfi'u l-aṣnāmi kasrā

Muhammad! The Spirit of Praise, the Secret of Existence!

And the Destroyer of all idols!

مُحَمَّدُ مِدْفَعِي دَهْرِى وَ دِرْعِي

وَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ عُدَّتُنَا وَ ضُرَّا

Muḥammadu midfa'ī dahrī wa dir'ī

wa fī s-sarrā'i 'uddatunā wa ḍurrā

Muhammad! My Cannon & my Shield (against all enemies) forever....

And my Support, during easy & hard times!

مُحَمَّدُ سَيِّدِى كَنْزِى وَ غَوْثِي

حَبَانِي بِالْمُرَادِ وَ زَادَ مَيْرَا

Muḥammadu sayyidī kanzī wa ghawthī

ḥabānī bil-murādi wa zāda mayrā

Muhammad! My Master, My Treasure, My Helper!

Who granted me my wishes and all my needs!

شِفَائِي عِنْدَ أَمْرَاضِي وَ غَيْثِي

وَ مُسْتَنَدِي لِدَهْرِى حِينَ غَرَّا

Shifā'ī 'inda amrāḍī wa ghaythī

wa mustanadī li-dahrī ḥīna gharrā

My Cure when I am sick, he is my Support!

And the one I rely on when times get tough!

مُحَمَّدُ مَرْكَزِى وَ مَدَارُ أَمْرِى

عَلَى الْمَحْمُودِ دُنْيَائِي وَ أُخْرَىٰ

Muḥammadu markazī wa madāru amrī

'ala l-maḥmūdi dunyā’ī wa ukhrā

Muhammad! The point of my focus! The Mahmood, who I rely on....

In all my affairs, in this World & the Hereafter!

مُحَمَّدُ قُدْوَتِي وَ أَرَاهُ حَسْبِي

فَلَا زَيْدًا وَ لَا عَمْرًا وَ بَكْرَا

Muḥammadu qudwatī wa arāhu ḥasbī

falā Zaydān wa lā 'Amrān wa Bakrā

Muhammad is my Exemplar and he is sufficient for me...

And I need not Zayd or Amr or Bakr (i.e. anyone else) besides him (to guide me)!

نَدِيمِي سُنَّةُ الْمُخْتَارِ لَا لَا

عَلَى غَيْرِ الْحَدِيثِ أَرُومُ خَيْرَا

Nadīmī sunnatu l-mukhtāri lā lā

'alā ghayri l-ḥadīthi arūmu khayrā

For the Sunnah of the Chosen One is my dearest companion....

I do not seek goodness in anything other than his Words...No No!

سَأَرْفَعُهَا وَأَقْبِضُهَا جِهَارًا

عَلَىٰ ذَا فَلْيَلُمْنِي النَّاسُ طُرَّا

sa'arfa‘uhā wa aqbiduhā jihārān

‘alā dhā falyalumnī-n nāsu turrā

Therefore I will raise my hands (in prayer) & fold them (as per the Sunnah)....

And do not care if the whole world condemns me for it!

إِذَا رَضِيَ الْأَمِينُ فَلَا أُبَالِي

أَذَمَّ سِوَاهُ أَمْ أَطْرَا وَ أَطْرَا

izā raḍiya l-amīnu falā ubālī

azamma siwāhu am aṭrā wa aṭrā

Because if the Trustworthy (Prophet) is pleased with me....

Then I do not care if others condemn me or extol me!

إِذَا كَانَ النَّصِيبُ سِوَى الْمُقَفَّىٰ

فَإِنِّي لَا أَرَىٰ لِىَ الْحَظَّ دَهْرَا

Izā kāna n-naṣību siwā l-muqaffā

fa-inni lā arā lī l-ḥaẓẓa dahrā

For if my share is anything but the Final (Prophet).....

Then I see myself as an unfortunate one forever!

صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ يَتْبَعُهَا سَلَامٌ

عَلَىٰ الْمُخْتَارِ مَنْ مَوْلَاهُ أَسْرَى

Ṣalātu llāhi yatba'uhā salāmun

'alā l-mukhtāri man mawlāhu asrā

May the Blessings & Peace of Allah be upon the Chosen One...

The one taken on the (glorious) Night Journey by his Lord!

وَآلٍ ثُمَّ أَصْحَابٍ كِرَامٍ

نَجُومِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَلَّوْهُ نَصْرَا

wa ālin thumma aṣ’ḥābin kirāmin

nujūmu l-muhtadīna wallawhu nasrā

And upon his noble Family & Companions....

The Stars of Guidance, who supported him!

NOTE

وَ هَـٰذِهِ الْقَصِيْدَةُ قَائِلُهَا يَنَالُ مَا يَتَمَنَّى وَ كَذَلِكَ حَاكِيهَا بَفَضْلِ الْمَمْدُوحِ بِهَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم

Wa hāzihi l-Qasīdatu qā'iluhā yanal mā yutamanna wa kadhālika hākiha bafaḍli l-mamdūhi bihā, Sallallahu 'alayhi wa Sallam

The composer of this blessed poem, Mawlana Shaykh al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse (RA) stated that whoever recites this Qasidah will attain whatever he desires, by the Barakah of the one being praised (SAW)!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ

الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِقَ وَالْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ

نَاصِرِ الْحَقِّ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْهَادِي إِلَىٰ صِرَاطِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

وَ عَلَىٰ آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَ مِقْدَارِهِ الْعَظِيمِ
