Qasāid

"Qad Kafani `Ilmu Rabbi" (My Lord's Knowledge Suffices Me) is a powerful statement of reliance and trust on Allah, authored by Imam Abdullah b. Alawi al-Haddad (1634 CE [1044 Hijri] - 1720 CE [1132 Hijri]), the great Islamic scholar and spiritual guide from Hadhramawt, Yemen. Imam al-Haddad was a distinguished poet, and this particular qasida (devotional song) is one of his most-recited poems. A brief bio of the Imam may be found here:http://www.alhaddad.org/blog/?p=382. Information taken by Nader Khan.

The Qasida was sung on the bus route to Dar al Mustafa by Belal Nikro (AUS) and brothers who attended the 2013 annual dowra. Picture taken by Belal Nikro.

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me 
 from asking or choosing 
For my du’a and my agonising supplication 
 is a witness to my poverty. 
For this secret (reason) I make supplication  
in times of ease and times of difficulty 
I am a slave whose pride  
is in his poverty and obligation 
---------- 
O my Lord and my King 
 You know my state 
And what has settled in my heart  
of agonies and preoccupations 
Save me with a gentleness  
from You, O Lord of Lords 
Oh save me, Most Generous  
before I run out of patience (with myself) 
---------- 
O One who is swift in sending aid 
 I ask for aid that will arrive to me swiftly 
It will defeat all difficulty  
and it will bring all that I hope for 
O Near One Who answers  
and All-Knowing and All-Hearing 
I have attained realisation through my incapacity,  
my submission and my brokenness 
---------- 
I am still standing by the door, so please my Lord 
 have mercy on my standing 
And in the valley of generosity, I am in i’tikaf (solitary retreat)   
So, Allah, make my retreat here permanent 
And I’m abiding by good opinion (of You) 
 For it is my friend and ally 
And it is the one that sits by me and keeps me company  
All day and night 
---------- 
There is a need in my soul, O Allah  
so please fulfill it, O Best of Fulfillers 
And comfort my secret and my heart 
 from its burning and its shrapnel 
In pleasure and in happiness  and 
as long as You are pleased with me 
For joy and expansion is my state  
and my motto and my cover 
----------

Salaamun 'Ala Qabrin

رفعت أستار البين ** وبدت أنوار العين
تنجلي من غير أين ** فاشهدوها يا صوفية

أنا مرآة حبيبي ** في هواه نفسي طيبي
عن سواه نفسي غيبي ** واطرحي الأشيا الردية

مذ بدا في ذي المشاهد ** صرت راكعا وساجد
شاكرا له وحامد ** إذ طواني في الهوية

يا هنائي في لقائي ** يا بقائي في فنائي
يا ضيائي في سمائي ** يا حياتي الأبدية

أقبل الساقي علينا ** قدم الكأس إلينا
فاحتسينا وارتوينا ** من كؤوس الهاشمية

صاح فاغنم المعاشا ** كم ميْت أتاهم عاشا
حاشا أن يخيب حاشا ** من أتى بصدق النية

أخل قلبك للتجلي ** واجلِ عينك للتملي
والسوى يا خلي خلّي ** وافن في الذات العلية

واشرب الكأس جهارا ** لا ترى في الشرب عارا
وهمْ واخلع العذارا ** في المعاني الأقدسية

جدّ سيرا للمنازل ** وانتهج نهج الأوائل
لا تصغ لقول عاذل ** إنما الإصغا بلية

هي كل الكل أصلا ** ليس للعاذل فعلا
ما عذول الحب إلا ** مرسل من ذي العطية

ثم صل ذا الجلال ** على باب الاتصال
طه والصحب والآل ** ما حدا حادي المطية

A gorgeous qasida by Imam al-Haddad, here sung in a Scottish Style by Harmonia Alcorani.

Translation:
My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

For my du’a and my agonising supplication
is a witness to my poverty.

For this secret (reason) I make supplication
in times of ease and times of difficulty

I am a slave whose pride
is in his poverty and obligation

O my Lord and my King
You know my state

And what has settled in my heart
of agonies and preoccupations

Save me with a gentleness
from You, O Lord of Lords

Oh save me, Most Generous
before I run out of patience (with myself)

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

O One who is swift in sending aid
I ask for aid that will arrive to me swiftly

It will defeat all difficulty
and it will bring all that I hope for

O Near One Who answers
and All-Knowing and All-Hearing

I have attained realisation through my incapacity,
my submission and my brokenness

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

I am still standing by the door, so please my Lord
have mercy on my standing

And in the valley of generosity, I am in i’tikaf (solitary retreat)
So, Allah, make my retreat here permanent

And I’m abiding by good opinion (of You)
For it is my friend and ally

And it is the one that sits by me and keeps me company
All day and night

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing

There is a need in my soul, O Allah
so please fulfil it, O Best of Fulfillers

And comfort my secret and my heart
from its burning and its shrapnel

In pleasure and in happiness
and as long as You are pleased with me

For joy and expansion is my state
and my motto and my cover

My Lord’s knowledge has sufficed me
from asking or choosing
