Shadhili Sufi Dhikr in Morocco (Mostly Translated) – Sufi Poetry – Baanat Lana Layla

Don't forget to enable captions/CCs for the translation and change the quality to 1080p. A gathering of disciples belonging to the Karkari branch of the Shadhili tariqah (Sufi order), led by the eponymous founder of the tariqah, Shaykh Muhammad Fawzi al-Karkari. The gathering probably took place in 2015 at Ain Bani Mathar, Jerada, Morocco. I pieced this video together from two different sources, in order to assemble the most complete version of the gathering. ¹ Literally meaning "The Truth" or "The Reality", here it is likely referring to Allah (God), as one of the 99 Qur'anic names for God in Islam ² Layla-Majnoon is a romantic folk story with origins in 7th-century Arabia, and in the centuries since has become the most famous of the Eastern world; Lord Byron called it the "Romeo and Juliet of the East". It tells the story of the 7th-century Bedouin Qays ibn al-Mulawwah, who was dubbed Majnoon ("mad") for his love of Layla bint Mahdi. As is the case here, it is a common motif of classical Arabic poetry – including Sufi poetry – to use the legendary love object of Layla as a metaphor. The first two poems were written by Shaykh Muhammad Fawzi. I wasn't able to identify the poem that is briefly recited at the end, so if you are able to please let me know. 00:00 Nadaan al-Haqq Min Jinaani 03:04 Baanat Lana Layla 07:37 Unknown poem ––––– Most of the video has been translated but there are still a few lines that I couldn't figure out, as indicated in the subtitles.
