LYRICS:
We once had a Teacher
The Teacher of teachers
He changed the world for the better
And made us better creatures
Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu’allim
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?
Oh Mu’allim

He was Muhammad
Salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind
Teacher of all Mankind

أبا القاسم
يا حبيبي يا محمد
يا شفيعي يا محمد
خير خلق الله محمد

(x2)
يا مصطفى ، يا إمام المرسلين
يا مصطفى ، يا شفيع العالمين

He prayed while others slept
While others ate he’d fast
While they would laugh he wept
Until he breathed his last
His only wish was for us to be
Among the ones who prosper
Ya Mu’allim peace be upon you
Truly you are our Teacher
Oh Mu’allim

He was Muhammad
Salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind
Teacher of all Mankind

يا حبيبي يا محمد
يا شفيعي يا محمد
يا رسولي يا محمد

يا مصطفى ، يا إمام المرسلين
يا مصطفى ، يا شفيع العالمين

يا مصطفى ، يا إمام المرسلين
