دمعي مهطال- برد الآصال سلم على طه للعارف بالله الشيخ أحمد بن مصطفى العلوي الشهير بـ ابن عليوة

"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 
----------

Qad Kafani (My Lord is Sufficient) - Belal Nikro (Dowra 2013)

أتَيْناك بِالفَقرِ لا بِالغِنى

Ahbab Al Mustafa | Shaykh Shadee El Masry

یا سادتي لاتبعدو Shaykh Hazem

Abdullah Adel - Hadrah

يا طالب الفنا في الله * قل دائما الله الله
وغب فيه عن سواه * واشهد بقلبك الله
واجمع همومك فيه * تكفى به عن غيرالله
و كن عبدا صرفا له * تكن حرا عن غير الله
واخضع له وتذلل * تفز بسر من الله
واذكر بجد وصدق * بين يدي عبيد الله
واكتم إذا تجلى لك * بأنوار من ذات الله
فالغير عندنا محال * فالوجود الحق لله
ووهمك اقطع دائما * بتوحيد صرف لله
فوحدة الفعل تبدو * في أول الذكر لله
ووحدة الوصف له * تاتي من الحب في الله
ووحدة الذات له * تورث البقا بالله
فهنئا لمن مشى * في طريق الذكر لله
معتقدا شيخا حيا * يكون عارفا بالله
ولازم الحب له * وباع نفسه لله
وقام في الليل يتلو * كلامه شوقا لله
فنال ما يطلبه * من قوة العلم بالله
وفيضنا من نبي * سيد مخلوقات الله 
عليه أزكى صلاة * عدد معلومات الله
وء اله و صحبه * وكل داع إلى الل
