Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening
What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace
Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening (x2)
CHORUS:
Ya Mawlay, ya Mawlay Salli ‘ala Taha (x2)
husnu Ahmadal Bashir
Akhjalal badral munir
Oh my Lord, Send your peace and blessings on Taha (one of the prophet’s names)
The beauty of Ahmad the portent
Ashamed the illuminative full moon
Will I be from those
You welcome with a smile
As you call your nation
Come to my side
Or will I see you frown
And then turn away
I did let you down
I forgot this Day
What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace
Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening
CHORUS
Bridge:
Ya Habiba Allah
Ya Safiyya Allah
‘Alayka Salatu Allah
Wa Salamu Allah
Oh you the one who Allah loves
Oh you the one who Allah chose
May Allah’s peace and blessing be upon you
Your smile is so bright
It lits up the dark night
Brought mercy and light
To my waiting heart
I know that I’m weak
Of my sins I can’t speak
Your mercy I seek
Though I’m not worthy
What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace
Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening
CHORUS
