KULAMA NADAYT YAHU - Every time I call out to Him

[ translated from Arabic ]

Every time I called out to Him
He replied, 'O my servant, I am Allah!'

In the month of Rabi'i Allah sent him forth
And the help has come from Allah
O what a great month it is
And Allah has blessed it with nobility

In it together we are joyous
And we are successful in the fulfilment of our desires
O Messenger of Allah, give us comfort
Allah has sent you as a gift to us

The religion of The Sustainer has come forth
With the manifestation of the guide, Ahmad
O what happiness to be with Muhammad
That is a blessing from Allah

The day of the birth of the one from Tiham
The blessed seal of the prophets
The place of peace has been adorned
And the help has come from Allah

MERCY  LIKE  THE  RAIN

Mercy like the rain is falling down
Mercy like the rain is falling down
Can you feel the rain is falling down, falling down?

Mercy like the angels in the rain
Mercy like the sun, the moon, the stars
Blossoming flowers, bearing fruits
Showing us the greatness of Allah

Mercy like the faith that shines within us
Mercy like the prayers that Allah answers
How it gives purpose to our lives
Helping us strive for paradise

Mercy like the smile for one another
Mercy like the kindness for each other
O how it takes sadness from our hearts
Spreading God's love throughout the world

Mercy like the Messenger of Allah
Mercy like the Qur'an from Allah
Truthful, generous, wise and kind
Bringing Allah's words to mankind

JASHNE AAMADE RASOOL - Celebrations of the coming of the Messenger

[ translated from Urdu ]

Celebrations of the coming of the Messenger
The flower of Lady Aminah

When the master was about to come
The maidens and boy servants of Paradise began to rejoice

The light spread everywhere
With the coming of the Chosen One came life to us all

O Halima in your lap has arrived
The Messenger of both worlds

Celebrations of the coming of the Messenger
The flower of Lady Aminah

Some would praise his face
Some would praise his locks of hair

Seeing this, Aminah began smiling
Eve and Mary too began rejoicing

Lady Aminah began saying to everybody
The prayer has been accepted

Celebrations of the coming of the Messenger
The flower of Lady Aminah

Festive music was sounded
Songs of happiness were heard by all

Everywhere shouts of 'peace on him'
Today the Beloved of God has been born

Thereafter Gabriel announced
This truly is the Messenger of God

Celebrations of the coming of the Messenger
The flower of Lady Aminah

MOWLAYA SALI - My Lord send prayers

Extract from chapter 10 of the Qasida Burdah by Imam Al-Busiri
[ translated from Arabic ]

My Master send prayers and peace always and forever
Upon Your beloved, the best of Creation

O Noblest of Creation I have none more worthy of seeking shelter with
Than you at the occurrence of widespread calamity

O Messenger of Allah your exalted status will never diminish because of intercession on my behalf
When the Noble One [Allah] will manifest (Himself) by the name of the Avenger

For indeed from your generosity, are this Life and its partner, the Hereafter
And from amongst your knowledge is the knowledge of the [Preserved] Tablet and the Pen

[O my soul do not become despondent due to your grievous sins
Verily major sins when pardoned are minor]

Perhaps the mercy of my Lord when it is bestowed
Would be distributed in proportion to the sins

ANA DAYFAK - I'm your guest

[ translated from Arabic ]

I'm your guest o messenger of Allah
I'm your guest o beloved of Allah
O intercessor, o greatest of those who came
I'm your guest; I'm a guest of Allah

He said to me, put on your robes, stand and make Hajj
I put on my robes, proclaiming my presence in Hajj
And I'm inside the House calling I'm a guest of Allah

At the stone of Ishmael we supplicated
And by Abraham's station we prayed
And we took from the secret of the Zam Zam water
I'm your guest; I'm a guest of Allah

O beloved ones send prayers upon our guide (peace be upon him)
With songs of his seclusion and piety
If you listen you can hear Gabriel calling
I'm your guest; o Messenger of Allah
