“Balaghal Ula” Lyrics:
كم عِشتُ والشوقُ بي I’ve always been longing,
أَهْوى حبيبي النبي In love with my Beloved Prophet
مُذْ كنتُ طفلاً صَبيّ Since I was a little child
قلبي و رُوحي فِداه May my heart and soul be sacrificed for his sake
بلغَ العُلا بكمالِه He attained exaltation by his perfection
كشفَ الدُجى بِجمالِه He dispelled darkness by his beauty
حَسُنَتْ جميعُ خِصالِه Beauteous are all his qualities
صلُّوا عليهِ و آلِه Benediction be on him and on his family
هو سيِّدي المُصْطفى He is my master, the Chosen One
هو قُدوَتي وكَفَى He is my role model and that’s enough for me
هو مَن غَدا ذِكْرهُ He is whose praise has become…
لَحنًا بِكلِّ الشِّفاهْ A melody on all lips
CHORUS
لَو مَرَّ في مَسْمَعِي Whenever I hear his name…
طه جرَتْ أَدْمُعِي “Taha”, my tears begin to flow
وَفَاضَ شَوْقِي لَهُ Ad my longing for him becomes more than I can bear
وَحَلَّ في أَضْلُعِي And (his love) nestles deep within my being
مَلأتَ قَلبي فِدا You filled my heart with sacrifice
وأَنَرْتَ دَرْبي هُدى And you lightened my path with your guidance
وكُنتَ لي سَيّدي You have always been for me, O my master…
نورًا أضاءَ المَدى A light that illuminates the furthest horizons
