Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
He was Muhammad, صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
He was Muhammad, صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of all mankind
[Verse 3]
أبا القاسم
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)
(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
[Verse 4]
He was Muhammad, صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
He was Muhammad, صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of all mankind
Oh Oh
[Verse 5]
(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)
[Verse 6]
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
He was Muhammad, صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
He was Muhammad, صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم
Muhammad, mercy upon mankind
Teacher of all mankind
أبا القاسم
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)
(يا مصطفى، يا إمام المرسلين)
(يا مصطفى، يا شفيع العالمين)
(يا مصطفى، يا إمام المرسلين)
