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 AlMu’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
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
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
