Ya nabi, ya nabi
Sallu alai-hi waalihi
Tu kuja mann kuja
Tu kuja mann kuja
Tu ameer-e haram main faqeer-e ‘ajam
Tu ameer-e haram main faqeer-e ‘ajam
Tere gun aur yih lab main talab hi talab (2)
Tu ata hi ‘ata main khata hi khata
Tu kuja man kuja
Tu kuja man kuja (x2)
O Prophet Muhammad
Salutations on him and his family
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
You are commander of the holy sanctuary in Arabia
And I a destitute foreigner
I am but a humble seeker
My sinful lips unworthy to sing your lofty praises
You are nothing but mercy and benefaction
And I nothing but fault and error
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
Ilhaam jaamah hai tera
Qur’aan imaama hai tera
Mimbar tera arsh-e bareen
Ya rahmat-ul-lil aalameen
Tu kuja man kuja (x4)
You are gloriously adorned in the robe of divine revelation
The holy book forms your exalted turban
The highest heaven is your pulpit
O Mercy for the Worlds
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
Tu haqeeqat hai main sirf ehsaas hoon (2)
Tu samandar main bhatki hui pyaas hoon (2)
Mera ghar khaak par aur teri rahguzar (2)
Sidrat ul-muntaha
Tu kuja man kuja, tu kuja man kuja
Tu kuja man kuja, tu kuja man kuja
You are reality, I merely perception
You are the ocean, I a wandering thirst
My dwelling is on the humble soil, and you journey
Beyond even the seventh heaven
To the Lote-Tree of the Extremity
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
Aye farishto woh sultaan-e mairaaj hain (x2)
Tum jo dekho ge hairaan ho jaaoge (x2)
Zulf tafseer-e wallail ban jaayegi
Chehra quraan sara nazar aayega
Chehra nazar ayega (x4)
O angels, he is king of the Night Journey
It will amaze you to see him
His dusky tresses will become an exposition
Of the verse ‘By the Night’
His radiant face will give
The appearance the Quran in entirety
Mere aaqa imaam-I saff-e ambiya (2)
Naam pe unke laazim hai salle ala
Laazim hai salle ala (x4)
My master, the prayer-leader of all the prophets
Each time we hear his name
It is incumbent upon us to invoke blessings on him
Tu kuja man kuja
Mustafa mujtaba
Khaatim ul-mursaleen
Ya rahmat ul-lil- aalameen.
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
God’s Chosen, God’s Favourite
Seal of the Prophets
O Mercy for the Worlds
Tu kuja mann kuja
Tu kuja mann kuja
Khair ul-bashar rutbah tera (2)
Aawaaz-e haq khutbah tera (2)
Aafaaq tere saamaeen (2)
Saais jibreel-e ameen (2)
Ya rahmat ul-lil-‘aalameen
Tu kuja man kuja, tu kuja man kuja
Tu kuja man kuja, tu kuja man kuja
You have the rank of the Best of Mankind
Your sermon is the voice of God
The heavens are your audience
Gabriel the Faithful is your horse-keeper
O Mercy for the Worlds
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
Tu hai ahraam-e anwaar baandhe hue (2)
Main duroodon ki dastaar baandhe hue (2)
Kaaba-e ishq tu main tere chaar su (2)
Tu asar main dua
Tu kuja man kuja
You are clad in a garment of illumination and splendour
And I wear a turban cloth of humble salutations
You are the Ka’ba of Love
And I circuit around you
I am prayer, and you are effect
Mine is a lowly station
And yours exalted beyond imagination
