Lyrics
The night was calm, the stars stood still. A light broke through the quiet hill. A child was born to guide the way, to heal the world with love each day. He came with mercy soft and true, a love so vast it flows right through what a gift the heavens gave. Muhammad, ya noor al-huda, ya mananara dunyana, salawat Allah alayka, Muhammad, ya habibi. The sun rose high, his truth was clear, his words erased the deepest fear. He taught us love, he taught us grace, he showed the beauty in every face. His hands would heal, his words would fight, a brighter path for all mankind. Oh, what a gift the heavens gave. Muhammad, ya noor al-huda, ya mananara dunyana, salawat Allah alayka, Muhammad, ya habibi. Ya Mustafa, light of the world, your birth a gift, your name unfolds. Through every heart your mercy flows, ya Ahmad, the world now knows.
