Al-Mualim 

We once had a Teacher 

The Teacher of educators, 

He improved the world 

What's more, improved us animals, 

Goodness Allah we've disgraced ourselves 

We've strayed from Al-Mu'allim, 

Definitely we've wronged ourselves 

What will we say in front him? 

Goodness Mu'allim… 

Tune 

He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam, 

Muhammad, benevolence upon Mankind, 

He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam, 

Muhammad, benevolence upon Mankind, 

Educator of all Mankind. 

Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet] 

Ya Habibi ya Muhammad 

(My darling O Muhammad) 

Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad 

(My middle person O Muhammad) 

Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad 

(The best of Allah's creation is Muhammad) 

Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina 

(O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers) 

Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina 

(O Chosen One, O middle person of the universes) 

He asked while others dozed 

While others ate he'd quick, 

While they would snicker he sobbed 

Until he inhaled his last, 

His lone wish was for us to be 

Among the ones who flourish, 

Ya Mu'allim harmony arrive, 

Really you are our Teacher, 

Goodness Mu'allim.. 

Chorale 

Ya Habibi ya Muhammad 

(My darling O Muhammad) 

Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad 

(My middle person O Muhammad) 

Ya Rasuli ya Muhammad 

(O My Messenger O Muhammad) 

Ya Bashiri ya Muhammad 

(O conveyor of uplifting news O Muhammad) 

Ya Nadhiri ya Muhammad 

(O warner O Muhammad) 

'Ishqu Qalbi ya Muhammad 

(The adoration for my heart O Muhammad) 

Nuru 'Ayni ya Muhammad 

(Light of my eye O Muhammad) 

He instructed us to be simply and kind 

Furthermore, to nourish poor people and hungry, 

Help the wayfarer and the vagrant tyke 

Also, to not be remorseless and tightfisted, 

His discourse was delicate and delicate, 

Like a mother stroking her kid, 

His leniency and empathy, 

Were most brilliant when he grinned 

Melody

Ya Habibi ya Muhammad 

(My cherished O Muhammad) 

Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad 

(My mediator O Muhammad) 

Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad 

(The best of Allah's creation is Muhammad) 

Ya Mustafa Ya Imamal Mursalina 

(O Chosen One O Imam of the Messengers) 

Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina 

(O Chosen One O mediator of the universes)
