Lyrics

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

خير الخلق هو الهادي نور الكون به بادي

عمن نستبيح شادي أسكال خلقه وأرضاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

قام الليل لمولاه طالم تشكو قدماه

خير الخلق غدا يرقاه على الخلد وأحلاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

نورا متقدم قبل الخلق متعلم

بدر النور المتلثم هدي الخلق لمولاه

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

عرجت سبافا أعطاه خير الصلاة نصلاه

بعد استدارة قرساه الله رأى الحق وأنواره

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

خير الخلق وأحلاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها

صلى الله على الطهر خير الخلق وأحلاها
