As salamu alayka ya habibi sayyidi
As salamu alayka ya nabi al-arabi
As salamu alakyka ya Shafii al muznibin
As salamu alayka rahamtallah lil alamin.
With every breath I take
Every beating of my heart
In word and silence
Let there be peace upon you
Oh fountain of perfection
Of ocean of peace
Oh healer of broken hearts.
How much longer shall we be apart?
As salamu alayka ya habibi sayyidi
As salamu alayka ya nabi al-arabi
With every step I take
Towards your resting place
Heart fiulled with restlessness
My eyes full of tears.
If my soul could take flight
Carry me through this night
I would travel to Madina
To stand, eyes downcast, before you.
As salamu alayka ya habibi sayyidi
As salamu alayka ya nabi al-arabi
As salamu alakyka ya Shafii al muznibin
As salamu alayka rahamtallah lil alamin.
Like the Sun you rose over us
Bringing light to our darkened world
Purified by your wisdom
Sanctified by your love
And we follow in your way
Along the path that you have made
Let us reach your goal at last
Take our hands, lead our hearts.
As salamu alayka ya habibi sayyidi
As salamu alayka ya nabi al-arabi
Allah's Peace on you ya Nabi
In every eyeblink and every tear
From the dawn of creation
Till the last dame shall come
When the faithful remember you
When the heedless forget
May you rest in the mercy
And the peace of the Almighty.
As-Salam ya habib
As-salam ya nabi
Oh beloved of the Lord
Hear my greeting, hear my call
Bless this seeker of your love,
With the vision of you.
As salamu alayka ya habibi sayyidi
As salamu alayka ya nabi al-arabi
As salamu alakyka ya Shafii al muznibin
As salamu alayka rahamtallah lil alamin.
