Salawatun Tayyibatun صلوات طيبات

My Master Aḥmad, Muḥammad, God send prayers upon you!
You through whom the heart finds strength, and on whom it has been raised.
Don’t deny me, Muḥammad, your radiant face!
You catch me weary eyed, still waiting to catch a glimpse of you.
And the place is all prepared for you, waiting for your arrival.
I thought you would come and return yet alas!
You have not returned, your majesty! May God be pleased with you!
I go on throughout the days, ‘If only I could be in your presence!’
And my time will come, without a doubt, so I leave it to you.
You know my nature is to be determined. Am I going to fall short when it comes to you?
By God, I continue to send prayers upon you.
If I were to live forever, I would never give up on you.
That perhaps by that I might witness your radiant face.
God forbid, al-ʿAlawī would ever give up desiring you.
This is my belief, Muḥammad, and so I leave it to you.
After this praise, I remain on the lookout, when I am asleep, I watch out for you.
Until I saw you, my Master Muḥammad. May God reward you!
Except that you remain elusive and apprehensive. I will not bother you.
You know my deeds are corrupt. It does not escape you.
Yet the surgeon strives as you well know.
You must seek me out today so I can find solace in you.
Alas! I will not stop seeking you until I claim you
Up until now I have shown such patience! Enough now!
Of your qualities is that you are gentle with the infidel perhaps they might open up to you.
And here I am a Muslim that bears witness to you. I bear no doubts.
No doubt, no wavering, I only see One. My connection to you should suffice.
Does it not please you that I am a Sufi and a believer in God’s oneness? I am a product of your craft.
Assess me! Take my company and you will find that I would give up my soul for you!
I would prepare private quarters for you, for you alone.
In a place free of any clutter.
I would lay down a cushions filled with wool that would be fit for you to recline on.
Carpets laid out with vibrant colours and veils that protect your privacy.
Aloes wood mixed with the finest aromas burnt for you, carrying a scent that envelops you.
Well provided, comfortable and aired with a fan whilst an attendee fills your cup
With a sweet drink scented with rose. I think you will find it to your liking.
Whatever you seek you will find exactly as you like, brought before you.
Does it not please you that I am your slave from birth in the house of the King?
Proficient prepared and ready, devoted to your cause.
I know you love to worship in this world and the next.
I have prepared a place of worship where you can spend the night in devotion and I’ll be back in the early dawn.
I will bring you an ornamented pitcher for you to perform your ablutions.
I’ll accompany you to the door of the mosque with my hand in yours.
I’ll protect you from any bother on the way. I’ll put myself between you and it.
How glorious you are! You are the very spirit of this body! Even glory attends to you!
If I could put you into antimony, I would immerse my eyelids in you.
This is my state and my Lord is my witness. I have not exaggerated.
Source of all mercy! Muḥammad, may God send prayers to you!

Ya talibal fana (Oh seeker of annihilation in God)					
Shaykh Muhammad ibn al Habib


Ya talibal fana (Oh seeker of annihilation in God)

After coming out of spiritual retreat, Abd al-Rahman Shaghouri (the famous Syrian scholar of the 20th century), composed this poem describing his experience and spiritual state. This is sung by Shaykh Nuh Ha Meem Keller at Harvard in the Moroccan way.

ENGLISH:
There is no deity but Allah!
The curtains of 'between' have been lifted
And the lights of Oneness have appeared;
Disclosed without any 'where', 
So see them, O Sufis! 
There is no deity but Allah!

I am the mirror of my Beloved. 
In His love, O my spirit, grow well;
From other than Him, O self, be absent,
And cast aside all things vile. 
There is no diety but Allah!

Since He has been manifest in these places of vision.
Have I been bowing and prostrate;
Thinking Him and praising. 
For He has encompassed me in identity.
There is no deity but Allah!

O the wonderfulness of my encounter
O my subsistence in my annihilation
O the light of my empyrean
O my life forever and ever.
There is no deity but Allah!

The pourer has drawn near to us
And presented us the goblet;
We have sipped and drunk our fill,
From the cups of al-Hashimi
There is no deity but Allah!

My friend, seize the chance to live,
How many a corpse that came to them was revived;
Never shall anyone be disappointed, never,
Who comes with a true intention.
There is no deity but Allah!

Clear your heart for the Divine manifestation,
Open your eye from true joy;
Other than the Divine, my friend, abandon,
And be annihilated in the exalted Entity.
There is no deity but Allah!

Drink heartily from the goblet openly,
See no disgrace in drinking;
Go mad with love, and throw off all shame
In the most sacred meanings.
There is no deity but Allah!

Speed with might and main to the stations,
Following the way of the earliest ones;
Heed not the words of him who forbids your love,
Listening is but tribulation.
There is no deity but Allah!

It is the all in all in origin,
Those who would prevent love have no action;
The forbidding of love is naught but,
Sent from the Bestower of Gifts.
There is no deity but Allah!

Then shower blessings, O You of Majesty, 
Upon the Door of Connectedness;
Taha [the Prophet Muhammad], with Companions and folk,
Long as the camelteer may chant to spur his mount.
There is no deity but Allah!

رفعت أستار البين
قصيدة لسيدي عبد الرحمن الشاغوري الحمصي رضي الله عنه

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
