Lyrics

My heart is so full of longing
I wish to be close to my Beloved
I dream to walk in the streets of Medina
And to quench the thirst of my spirit

[Pre-Chorus]
By visiting you, O Muhammad

[Chorus]
السلام عليك يا رسول الله
السلام عليك يا حبيبي يا نبي الله
السلام عليك يا رسول الله
السلام عليك يا حبيبي يا نبي الله
يا رسول الله

[Verse 2]
I left all my troubles and worries
As I entered your Mosque so gently
And as I finally stood there before you
I couldn't stop my tears from falling

[Pre-Chorus]
In your presence, O Muhammad

[Chorus]
السلام عليك يا رسول الله
السلام عليك يا حبيبي يا نبي الله
السلام عليك يا رسول الله
السلام عليك يا حبيبي يا نبي الله
يا رسول الله

[Bridge]
O Taiba, your breeze is so blessed
Indeed it brought life back to my spirit
I've left my heart with my Beloved
Sending blessings on Muhammad
O Taiba, your breeze is so blessed
Indeed it brought life back to my spirit
I've left my heart with my Beloved
Sending blessings on Muhammad

[Chorus]
السلام عليك يا رسول الله
السلام عليك يا حبيبي يا نبي الله
السلام عليك يا رسول الله
السلام عليك يا حبيبي يا نبي الله
يا رسول الله
