The Prophet of the Prophets

Through his virtues my Prophet attained the highest state of perfection

His luminous visage vanquishes the darkness of the night

He was the supreme embodiment of all the goodness and virtuous attributes

Humble salutations to him and his family

You’re the Prophet of all the prophets, O my beloved Prophet

Many a benedictions and praises to you, O my beloved Prophet

None has come into the world as peerless as you where can I find a resplendent person like you?

Your personality radiates luminosity to the entire Universe

Even Allah has praises for your Uniqueness because of you the Universe was created, O Master of Madina

The heaven and earth, the dwellings and beyond – the entire cosmos is radiant because of you

All the jollity and bustle of the Day of Judgement has been scheduled for you

As wished by Allah, all the nights and days is because of you

Whatever bounty anyone receives is all due to you

For you the noble Qur’an was revealed No one has attained your stature

Tell me who can be a Beloved of your compare?

Many a messengers came into the world, but who is of your compare?

Many a prophets came into the world, but who got the exaltation of your compare?

The likes of angel Gabriel wait on you even the stones sang your praises

Limitless are your qualities, even your slaves are beyond compare

Many a prophets were summoned to the heavens,

But a limit was imposed on their sojourn there For you,

My beloved Prophet, there was no bar even beyond

Gabriel’s abode Tell me who is so near and dear to God?

That is the reward Allah bestowed on you, my beloved Prophet

Allah INVITED you the heavens, which else received such treatment?

You conversed with HIM intimately Your countenance is like the glory of the noble Quran

Unfulfilled we remain even if we see your countenance again and again

Through you I see my Creator seeing you is my pilgrimage

Your deeds are Allah’s, with you the Prophethood ends

Whosoever comes to your threshold is not let down

Forever you’ve favoured the destitute

From dawn to dusk I say your name incessantly

Those intoxicated by the wine of the love for you are restless and unconscious of the world

Muhammad’s devotee has no fright of the Day of Judgement

He who believes in Muhammad’s message is eternally exalted

He who believes in Muhammad, his boat, even though capsized, won’t sink Muhammad recommends forgiveness for those whose hand he holds

The angels are subservient to you, O my beloved Prophet

O Prophet, salutations to you

O Beloved of Allah, salutations to you

All the praises to you, O Messenger of Allah
