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 him?


Oh Mu’allim…



Chorus:


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.

يا حبيبي يا محمد


يا شفيعي يا محمد


خير خلق الله ، محمد


يا مصطفى يا إمام المرسلين


يا مصطفى يا شفيع العالمين


يا مصطفى يا إمام المرسلين


يا مصطفى يا شفيع العالمين



He prayed while others slept


While other 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...


يا حبيبي ..يا محمد
يا شفيعي.. يا محمد


يا رسولي.. يا محمد


يا بشيري.. يا محمد


يا نذيري.. يا محمد


عشق قلبي.. يا محمد


نور عيني.. يا محمد

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

يا مصطفى يا إمام المرسلين


يا مصطفى يا شفيع العالمين


يا مصطفى يا إمام المرسلين


يا مصطفى يا شفيع العالمين
