Lyrics

Although I never saw his face, so beautiful bestowed with grace, my heart just yearns to be like him, although I never saw his face. Although I never saw his face, the sunnah of the Prophet I will embrace, prayers and blessings I pour unto him, although I never saw his face. He loved the children and the old, gave his heart to every soul, nursed the sick and served the poor, fed the hungry at his door, loved the creatures tame and wild, comforted the orphan child, bid man peace cared for the youth, Allah's messenger in truth. So with devotion I do read, his life of which I try to live, no deed is mine except it's his, although I never saw his face. Muhammad is his blessed name, called for Tahir when he came, he was honest, very kind, greatest teacher to mankind, brought us guidance so complete, taught us how to pray and eat, always practiced what he knew, never strayed from what is true. Although I never saw his face, peace and blessings be upon him. While in the sunnah you recall, our detailed teachings for us all, and no more prophets there will be, for he's the final one you'll see. His life he was prepared to give, at Uhud Badr Ta'if, brought to us holy Quran, very heart of our Islam. On the plains of Arafat, gave last sermon for Ummah, passed away in Medina, and lived only to worship Allah. So although I never saw his face, so beautiful bestowed with grace, my heart just yearns to be like him, although I never saw his face.
