Lyrics

يا طبيب

يا رب بالمصطفى بلغ مقاصدنا
يا رب بالمصطفى بلغ مقاصدنا
واخفل لنا ما مضى
يا رب بالمصطفى بلغ مقاصدنا
واخفل لنا ما مضى
يا رب بالمصطفى بلغ مقاصدنا
بيجاك من بيته في طيبة حام
بيجاك من بيته في طيبة حام
واسمه قسم من أعظم القسم
محمد سيد الكون
محمد سيد الكون
وثقلين الفريقين من عرم ومن عذب
ليتني كنت فردا من صحابتي
أو خادما عنده من أصغر الخدم
تجود بالدمع عيني حين أذكره
أما الفؤاد فللحوض العظيم ضمي
يا رب صل وسلم دائما أبدا
على حبيبك خير الخلق كله
ما جرى أسواب الحفظ
