غثنى بغيثك فالمنى تنفى الكرى
1. Yaa Shaykhu Ibraahiima Gawthu lil-waraa #
Githnii bi-gaythika fal-munaa tanfii l-karaa

1. Oh! Shaykh Ibrahim, Succour of the world ##
Assist me with your relief, for aspirations defy solutions.





2. من دون فضلك لاأُ أَهل للتنا ##

ولحاجة من فرط ذنب قدجرى

2. Min duuni fadlika laa-u ahilu li-tanaa ##
Wa li-haajati min farti dhanbi qad jaraa
2. Other than your kindness, I yearn/demand not for ##
as endeavours, out of excessive sins, have multiplied.





3. لكننى أعددت حبك سيّدى ##

فبذاك فالحاجات مقضى لا مرى
3. Lakinanii a‘adadtu hubaka sayyidii ##
Fabi-dhaaka fal-haajaati muqdaa laa miraa
3. But i have increased my love for you, my Master ##
For which those endeavours, now successful, would have been doomed without respite.





4. إذ أنت عين العين من هو علة ##

للكون من لولاه كل لا يرى

4. Idh Anta ‘aynu l-‘ayni man huwa ‘ilatun ##
Lil-kawni man lawlaahu kullu laa yuraa
4. For you (Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse) are the reality of the source of he (Prophet Muhammad, SAW) who is The Dot ##
for all existence, but for whose sake nothing would have been made manifest/obvious/to be seen.

أطوار روح الكائنات أبو الورى

5. Nuurun li-Anwaari wa aslu asaalati –l ##
Atwaari ruuhu l kaa’inaati abuu l-waraa

5. The Light of all lights, and the Origin of all origins ##
The Authenticator, Soul of all beings, Father of the world.





6. ذاك الرسول أبو البطول ألا ترى ##

برهام من أقماره وهو الثرى

6. Dhaaka r-Rasuulu Abuu-l Batuul alaa turaa ##
Bar’haama min aqmaarihi wahuwa ath-thuraa
6. That's the Prophet/Apostle (saw), the father of al-Batul (Fatimah) on the terrestrial plain, ##
Barham is one of his (Prophet Muhammad’s) constellations and that's on the celestial plain.





7. بل أنت يامولاي شمس حقيقة ##

تجلى ركزت بمجمع فتدا ورى

7. Bal Anta Yaa Mawlaaya Shamsu Haqeeqatin ##
Tajila raqazta bi-majma‘i fatadaa waraa
7. But you, my master, are the Sun/light of reality ##
it's radiance illuminating all in its luminescence.





8. فوددت من أمراض نفسى لوجذب ##

ت بهمة روحى يصير مقمرى

8. Fawadadta min amraadi nafsii lawi-jadhab ##
..ta bi-Himmati ruuhii yaseeru muqamaraa
8. I'd be healed from the ailments of my soul, if am attracted ##
by/to the great presence of a soul already illuminated/liberated.





9. فأصير نور حقيقة بمداره ##

دوما بمطلعه تأرى أو جرى

9. Fa-aseeru Nuuru Haqeeqatin bi-midaarihi ##
Dawmaa bi-matla‘ihi ta’araa aw jaraa
9. Then I'd be transformed into a light of the reality in its real essence ##
eternally resplendent in its shiny brightness.





10. من يوم أورثك الإله المصطفى ##

أورثت تصريف العوالم لامرى

10. min yawmi awrathka l-Ilaahu l Mustafaa ##
uurith-ta tasreefa l-‘awaalimi laa miraa

ذاتا ونورا كيف يرقى ياترى

11. afaradta gaytha bal warith-ta Muhammadan ##
Dhaataa wa nuuran kayfa yarqaa yaaturaa
11.You maintained the solitude of Succour, nay you inherited Muhammad's (persona) ##
in essence and in its light, how can it then be cured/separated, Oh you the cynosure.?





12. رقي النبوة بيد أن المصطفى ##

ختم التى ختمت فغيرك لا يرى

12.  Ruqayya n-Nubuwati bayda ana l mustafaa ##
Khatama al-latii khutimati fa-gayruka laa-yuraa
12. The purity of prophethood rests in the Chosen elect (saw) ##
a seal other than yours will never be found.





13. بعد سوى الختم التجانى أحمد ##

إذ نهجه نهج سلكت إلى الذرى

13. ba‘ada siwaa l-khatimi t-Tijaanii Ahmada ##
Idh nah’juhu nah’ju salakta ilaa adh-dhuraa
13. Except for the Ahmadan Tijani Seal (of sanctity) ##
since his path is that which you tread till the end.

Hataa ugith fa-guztu lil-fawqi dh-dhuraa

ميما وحادالا ونونا واورى

Miimaa wahaadaalaa wa nuunaa wa awaraa
15. With what you've been made a succour, assist me, assist! assist! ##
with it's “mim” and divergents, nay it's “noon” and all it strikes?

Qawmaa ilaa Bar’haama wahuwa ‘alaa th-thuraa

Oh how lovely is the movement of its day or its eminence!

COMMENTARY ON QASEEDAT AL-ISTIGHATHA

Qaseedat al-Istigaathah is the name Shaykh (Nuru Hakeem) gave the poem, for which it became popular.

It was written by him after he returned from al-Azhar University, where he had first met Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse, who told him to move further from thence as his Ma'rifah exceeds such mundane knowledge.

However, on getting to Kaolakh, he (shaykh Nuru Hakeem) was not opportuned to present the poem to Shaykh, despite his having a former junior and fellow student at Shaykh Uthman Lanase's school in Ibadan, now as one of the protocol officers, as Shaykh Ali Cisse's aide de camp.

It was not until Imam Hasan Cisse, whom he had befriended (though a young man) took him by the hand to Shaykh Ibrahim's bedroom, by-passing all protocols, that he was finally able to present the poem (qaseedat al-istigatha) to Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse.

That was the turning point in his life, as Shaykh Ibrahim took notice and bequested him certain divine mysteries there and then.

All these I heard direct from him (shaykh Nuru Hakeem), on several occasions.

This poem (qaseedat al-istigatha) thus became popular to the extent that Shaykh Hamzah Agbarigidoma, another prodigious bard and poet (of Ilorin, Nigeria) wrote a similar copy of it which also became popular too (i.e. Yaa Shaykh Ibrahim Fayda lil-waraa…).


CONCEPT OF ISTIGAATHA

There is an hadith of Rasul in Qastallani's collections where he (SAW) said "Ask assistance from the men of Allah when you are in difficulty, for Allah has men (rijaal) that you do not see positioned for that task".
