حَبِيبَنَا الْمُصْطَفَى

حَبِيبَنَا الْمُصْطَفَى صَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّنَاوَجْهُهُ مِثْلُ قَمَراً وَسِرَاجًا مُنِيرَا

Ḥabībanā al-muṣṭafā ṣallū ʿalā nabiyyinā, Wajhuhu mithlu qamaran wasirājan munīrā

Our beloved, the Chosen One: send blessings on our Prophet, his face like the moon, a lamp spreading light.

يَا مَنْ بُعِثْتَ لَنَا فِي الْوُجُودِ سَبِيلًايَا شِفَاءَ رُوحِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَقَلْبِي الْعَلِيلَ

Yā man buʿithta lanā fī al-wujūdi sabīlan, Yā shifāʾa rūḥī yā muḥammadu waqalbī al-ʿalīla

O you who were sent to us in existence as a path, O healing of my spirit, O Muhammad, and of my ailing heart,

فَاضَ الْقَلْبُ شَوْقًا وَحُبًّا لَكَ يَا رَسُولًايَا رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ لِكُلِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Fāḍa al-qalbu shawqan waḥubban laka yā rasūlan, Yā raḥmatan min ʿindi Allāhi likulli al-ʿālamīna

My heart overflowed with longing and love for you, O Messenger, O mercy from Allah to all the worlds.

أَحْسَنُ مِنْكَ لَمْ نَرَ فِي الْكَوْنِ مَثِيلًافَضَّلَكَ اللهُ عَنْ كُلِّ خَلْقِهِ أَعْظَمَ تَفْضِيلًا

Aḥsanu minka lam nara fī al-kawni mathīlan, Faḍḍalaka Allāhu ʿan kulli khalqihi aʿẓama tafḍīlan

We have never seen anyone in creation as beautiful as you; Allah has favoured you above all His creation with the greatest favour.

أَكْحَلَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ كُلُّ الْكَوْنِ رَآكَ انْحَنَىمَشَيْتُ عَلَى هَدْيِ الْأَحْمَدِ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّ مُحَمَّدًا

Akḥala al-ʿaynayni kullu al-kawni raʾāka nḥanā, Mashaytu ʿalā hadyi al-ʾaḥmadi waʾanā uḥibbu muḥammadan

O you with kohl-dark eyes, all creation saw you and bowed; I have walked upon the guidance of Ahmad, and I love Muhammad.

كَامِلِ الْأَوْصَافِ طَهَ وَشَمْسٌ فِي ضُحَاهَاسَالَتْ دُمُوعُ الْعَيْنِ اللهَ فِي مَدْحِ رَسُولِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدْ

Kāmili al-ʾawṣāfi ṭaha washamsun fī ḍuḥāhā, Sālat dumūʿu al-ʿayni Allāha fī madḥi rasūli Allāhi muḥammad

Perfect in qualities, Taha, a sun in its forenoon brightness; tears flowed from the eye, by Allah, in praise of the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad.
