We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers,
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures,
Oh Allah weve shamed ourselves
Weve strayed from Al-Muallim,
Surely weve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Muallim
He was Muhammad salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
He was Muhammad salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam,
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,
Teacher of all Mankind.
Abal Qasim
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafii ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allahs creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafial Alamina
(O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)
He prayed while others slept
While others ate hed 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 Muallim peace be upon you,
Truly you are our Teacher,
Oh Muallim..
back to Chorus, G Am
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafii 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)
Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad
(The love of my heart O Muhammad)
Nuru Ayni 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
back to Chorus
Abal Qasim
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(My beloved O Muhammad)
Ya Shafii ya Muhammad
(My intercessor O Muhammad)
Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
(The best of Allahs creation is Muhammad)
Ya Mustafa Ya Imamal Mursalina
(O Chosen One O Imam of the Messengers)
Ya Mustafa ya Shafial Alamina
(O Chosen One O intercessor of the worlds)
