Ya Imam ar-Rusli – ياامام الرسل (Qasida Lyrics)

Ya Imam Ar-Rusli

O Imam of the Messengers 

يَا إِمَامَ الرُّسْلِ يَا سَنَدِي  أَنْتَ بَابُ اللهِ مُعْتَمَدِي
فَبِدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي    يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خُذْ بِيَدِي

Ya imam ar-rusli yaa sanadee, -anta baabuLlaahi mu’tamadee
Fabi dunyaaya wa aakhiratee, yaa rasoolaLlaahi khudh biyadee

O Leader of the Messengers, O My Support, you are the door to Allah, my reliance!
In my life and in my hereafter, O Messenger of Allah take my hand

قَسَمًا بِالنَّجْمِ حِينَ هَوَى  مَا الْمُعَافَى وَالسَّقِيمُ سَوَا
فَاخْلَعِ الْكَوْنَيْنِ عَنْكَ سِوَى    حُبِّ مَوْلَى الْعُرْبِ وَالْعَجَمِ

Qasaman binnajmi Heena hawaa, mal mu’aafaa was saqeemu sawaa
Fakhla’il kawnayni ‘anka siwaa, Hubbi mawlal ‘urbi wal ‘ajami

I swear by the falling star, the healthy and the sick are not alike
So renounce both worlds apart from love for the master of the Arabs and non-Arabs

سَيِّدُ السَّادَاتِ مِنْ مُضَرِ   غَوْثُ أَهْلِ الْبَدْوِ وَالْحَضَرِ
صَاحِبُ الْآيَاتِ وَالسُّوَرِ   مَنْبَعُ الْأَحْكَامِ وَالْحِكَمِ

Sayyidus saadaati min mudari, ghawthu -ahlil badwi wal Hadari
SaaHibul aayaati wassuwari, manba’ul -aHkaami wal Hikami

The master of masters from Mudar, the saviour of people of the desert and cities
The owner of the verses and chapters (Holy Quran), the source of laws and wisdom

قَمَرٌ طَابَتْ سَرِيرَتُهُ    وَسَجَايَاهُ وَسِيرَتُهُ
صَفْوَةُ الْبَارِي وَخِيرَتُهُ  عَدْلُ أَهْلِ الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ

Qamarun taabat sareeratuhu, wa sajaayaahu wa seeratuhu
Safwatul baaree wa kheeratuhu, ‘adlu -ahlil Hilli wal Harami

The illuminated Prophet, whose heart was sweet as were his ethics and way of life
The Elect of the Creator and his Chosen One
-a just witness for the people of resolve and wrongdoing

مَا رَأَتْ عَيْنٌ وَلَيْسَ تَرَى   مِثْلَ طَهَ فِي الْوَرَى بَشَرَا
خَيْرُ مَنْ فَوْقَ الثَّرَى أَثَرَا   طَاهِرُ الْأَخْلَاقِ وَالشِّيَمِ

Maara-at ‘aynun wa laysa taraa, mithla Taha fil waraa basharaa
Khayru man fawqath tharaa -atharaa, taahirul -akhlaaqi wash shiyami

No eye has seen or ever will see a human like Ta-Ha (Muhammad) in all creation
He is the best of whomever left traces upon the earth, pure in noble character and disposition
