Lyrics

اللهم صل على المصطفى حبيبنا محمد عليه السلام

مقام الرست والعجم جميل كذا الذكر به فن أصيل وبعدهما الصبا إحساس حزن به يا صاحبي دمع يسيل

وبالنهواندي والكرد ستلقى لمعنى الود والعطف دليل وإن رمت الأذان فذا حجاز يداوي النفس للهم يزيل ولحن بالبيات نشيد وجد تدور بالرؤوس وتستميل

اللهم صل على المصطفى حبيبنا محمد عليه السلام
