Remember to switch to 1080p and enable CC for subtitles.

Unfortunately a lot of the video couldn't be translated because the lyrics seem to be different to the traditional version of the qasidah, and I can't make any of them out with my current hardware. If anyone knows the rest of the lyrics or can hear them clearly and is willing to comment or send me them, I will add them to the video and credit you.

Thanks to Mohammed Haseeb for identifying the second poem as Badayt Bi Dhikr al-Habeeb.

I also positioned the subtitles to the top of the screen to make sure they don't get in the way. If you notice them getting in the way or notice any other glitches with subtitle positioning then please let me know so I can fix them as soon as possible.

This hadra took place in 2018 in Bingley Hall, Birmingham, England, UK. It is led by Shaykh Muhammad al-Ya'qoubi (in yellow), the current head of the Darqawi-Hashimi branch of the Shadhili tariqah (Sufi order).

The Shadhili-Darqawi-Hashimi tariqah is based in Damascus, Syria, although the sheikh has lived in exile in Morocco ever since criticising the Assad regime publicly. Morocco is the original home of the Shadhili tariqa, having been founded there by Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili sometime in the 13th century.

Ishrab Sharab Ahl al-Safa is a Sufi qasidah [poem] of unknown origin but which is likely several hundred years old, and is regularly recited in the gatherings of several tariqahs. If anyone knows of a reliable source for its origin please let me know so it can be verified.

A clearer and more complete recitation of Ishrab Sharab can be found here:

I based my own translation of the qasidah on the slightly different lyrics here:
