Lyrics
هيا عباد الله أحب الله صلوا على النبي On a clear and moonlit night In the dark cave of Hira A man began to cry Oh Allah show me the light Tell me why I was created Where will I go after I die What's the purpose of this life Where people murder and lie How can I stop the corruption Oh Allah you're my only guide يا حبيبي يا مصطفى يا رسول الله يا حبيب الله يا صفي الله يا حبيبي يا مصطفى أنت قائم في كلامي إلى أيامي On that clear and blessed night Jibra'il came to Hira He hugged Prophet Muhammad Until he thought he would die Read oh Muhammad read In the name of your Lord By Allah you've been chosen Over the whole of mankind You've been elevated high Like the moon up in the sky يا ياسين يا خليل الله يا أمين يا نجي الله يا مكين يا شهيد الله يا مختار يا حبيب الله هيا عباد الله أحب الله صلوا على النبي هيا عباد الله أحب الله صلوا على النبي His message for mankind His speech was gentle and kind He summoned people to Allah And led them on his path Mankind lived in the darkness Everyone alive was just blind His message brought the light To the hearts that had no sight In mercy he's the ocean While others are drops of water يا حبيبي يا مصطفى يا رسول الله يا حبيب الله يا صفي الله يا حبيبي يا مصطفى أنت قائم في كلامي إلى أيامي Forever we'll be indebted To him for this Islam Our life for him will give His message with us will live Our love for him knows no bounds It is loftier than the clouds Whenever his name is mentioned Our tears begin to flow Oh Allah send your blessings On al-Mustafa يا حبيبي يا مصطفى أنت قائم في كلامي إلى أيامي يا حبيبي يا مصطفى يا رسول الله يا حبيب الله يا صفي الله يا حبيبي يا مصطفى يا نبي الله يا ولي الله يا ولي الله
