Shoft yama nas munaha t’eesh
El’omr ganbak webardo ma yekaffeesh
Ahla donya ‘andi ma tsaweesh
Illa ma’ak ya Rasool Allah
(I’ve seen so many people whose only wish was to live
Their whole lives next to you, and still it wouldn’t be enough
The most enjoyable life is worthless in my eyes
Unless it were with you, O Messenger of Allah)
Chorus:
Waheshna ya Rasool Allah
Ya sedna shou’na zad wallah
We mahma tawwel elghiyab
Muhammad, mushta’ ileek wallah
Muhammad, albi ‘aleek salla
(We miss you, O Messenger of Allah
O our master! By Allah, our longing for you is overflowing
And no matter how long our separation lasts
Muhammad, by Allah I long for you!
Muhammad, my heart sends salutations upon you)
Tal sou’ali, olli ezzay keda?
‘Ash’a ‘yonna hadd mosh shayfah?!
Law ha’ee’ee houwa ghali ‘aleek
Erdheeh fel Gannah tib’a ma’ah
(I’ve questioned for so long, tell me how could this be?!
How could we love someone whom our eyes have never seen?!
If he is truly dear to you
Follow him, and in Paradise you will be with him)
CHORUS
Dana zad fi albi haneen
Wedmou’i malyal ‘een
Tam’an ba’ali sneen
Inni azoorel Mustafa marra (x2)
(For my longing has increased manifold in my heart
And my tears have filled my eyes
For so many years my biggest dream has been
To visit the Chosen One even just once)
CHORUS
