Al-Mu'allim
We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah we've shamed ourselves
We've strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we've wronged ourselves
What will we say in front of him?
Oh Mu'allim...
He was Muhammad salla Allahoe 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
Ghayroe khalqillahi Muhammad
Ya mustafa ya Imamal Moersalina
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
He prayed while others slept
While others ate he'd fast,
While they would laugh he wept
Until he breathed his last,
His only wish was for us to be
Among the ones who prosper,
Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
Oh Mu'allim..
He was Muhammad salla Allahoe 'alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,Ya mustafa ya Imamal Moersalina
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
Ghayroe khalqillahi Muhammad
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad
'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad
He taught us to be just and kind
And to feed the poor and hungry,
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
And to not be cruel and miserly,
His speech was soft and gentle,
Like a mother stroking her child,
His mercy and compassion,
Were most radiant when he smiled
Chorus
Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ghayroe khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allah's creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa Ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina
(O Chosen One O intercessor of the worlds)
