Intro :
We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah weâve shamed ourselves
Weâve strayed from Al-Muâallim,
Surely weâve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Muâallimâ¦
Chorus
/
He was Muhammad salla Allahu âalayhi wa sallam,
/
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
/
He was Muhammad salla Allahu âalayhi wa sallam,
/
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafiâi ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allahâs creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafiâal âAlamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)
He prayed while others slept
While others ate heâd 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 Muâallim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
Oh Muâallim..

Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafiâi ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad
(O My Messenger O Muhammad)
Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad
(O bearer of good news O Muhammad)
Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad
(O warner O Muhammad)
âIshqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
(The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru âAyni ya Muhammad
(Light of my eye O 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
