The Prophet
of Islam
The crown of creation set with richest
gems
Diamonds and rubies in value beyond
ken
Unequaled in brilliance, unique
of kind
Are thou, O great Prophet! to all
mankind.
Truthful by nature and of most
saintly men,
All called thee the Trusty, the
Al-Ameen,
Most loving to children, courteous
to all,
To animals, tender, alike to great
and small,
Never on earth a nobler soul has
trod,
Never had another showed a truer
way to God.
O sweetest flower that ever on
earth did bloom,
Matchless alike in divine beauty
and perfume,
O whitest lily that human eyes
have seen,
O loveliest rose that in the world
had been.
All nature join in homage, all
men adore
Thee who brought light to a dark
some world,
Thee whose teachings are as a necklace
of pearls
Which when worn does radiant beauty
impart,
Adding luster to body, soul and
to heart.
Ya Rasool-Allah! our dearest friend
and guide,
May God's eternal blessings with
thee abide.
From the Arabian deserts thou surrounded
thy call
To the worship of God, the Lord
of all:
From the Arabian deserts thou taught
mankind
Now the truest knowledge of God
to find.
Thy words flew as lightening the
whole world around
Of Truth and Light they did fully
abound,
And nations, acknowledging the
power of their sway,
Did find and follow the most truthful
way.
In the wake of thy words true piety
did spring,
And great knowledge and virtues
did truly bring.
Never on earth a better soul was
born,
Never the world did a purer soul
adorn.
Man was fast sinking in idolatry
and sin
When thy great mission did first
begin.
Then in place of darkness thou
Light did give,
And taught mankind the noblest
way to live;
And reformed the world as never
before,
And unique blessings on it did
bestow.
Praise be to Allah for this favor
divine
In sending thee the wicked world
to refine,
Search the world though we may
find from pole to pole
While the great ocean of time does
onward roll,
A more perfect Prophet never can
we find
Than thee who, thank God, gave
Islam to mankind
O Rasool-Allah! my homage I make
to thee,
O Nabi-Allah! my love I tender
thee,
My life, my all, for thee I gladly
give,
Thy divine messages shall with
me forever live
My love for thee no bounds does
know,
In my heart thy memory shall ever
glow
May Allah shower His choicest blessings
on thee
May Allah grant thee peace for
all eternity.(Ameen)
