I did wrong by the sunnah of the one who spent the night
in prayer until
if not for him, the dunya would not have been brought out
from non-existence
and the Arabs and non-Arabs
And how can need invite to the dunya the one who

is decaying
out of desire for our protection, and so we did not doubt He did not test us in what the mind cannot comprehend
or go astray

And verily he is the blessed sun, and they are its stars
Universally and gave life to all the nations
Until when the sun rose his light spread

CHORUS
Shadiyaanay kushi kay bajaye gaye,
Shaad kay naghmay sab ko sunaye gaye,
Festive music was sounded,
Songs of happiness were heard by all.
Har taraf shor Salealla ho gaya,
Aaj peda Habib e Khuda ho gaya,
Everywhere shouts of peace on him
Today the Beloved of God has been born.
Phir to Jibriel nay bhi yeh elaan kiya,
Yeh Khuda kay hein Rasool, Allah hi Allah.
Thereafter Gabriel announced,
This truly is the Messenger of God.
Jashn-e-Aamade Rasool, Allah he Allah, x2
Bibi Amna kay phool, Allah he Allah. x2
Celebrations of the coming of the Messenger,
The flower of Lady Aminah.

Oh My Soul
Should you not gain your wants, my soul, then be not grieved;
But hasten to that banquet which your Lords bequeathed.
And when a thing for which you ask is slow to come,
Then know that often through delay are gifts received.
Find solace in privation and respect its due,
For only by contentment is the heart relieved.
And know that when the trials of life have rendered you
Despairing of all hope, and of all joy bereaved,
Then shake yourself and rouse yourself from heedlessness,
And make pure hope a meadow that you never leave.
Your Makers gifts take subtle and uncounted forms.
How fine the fabric of the world His hands have weaved.
The journey done, they came to the water of life,
And all the caravan drank deep, their thirst relieved.
Far be it from the host to leave them thirsty there,
His spring pours forth all generosity received.
My Lord, my trust in all Your purposes is strong,
That trust is now my shield; Im safe, and undeceived.
All those who hope for grace from You will feel Your rain;
Too generous are You to leave my branch unleaved.
May blessings rest upon the loved one, Muhammad,
Whos been my means to high degrees since I believed.
He is my fortress and my handhold, so my soul,
Hold fast, and travel to a joy still unconceived.
~ Shaykh Ali bin Husayn al-Habshi
Translated by Sheikh Abdal Hakeen Murad

Tala' al-Badru Alayna
O the White Moon rose over us
From the Valley of Wada'
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Where the call is to Allah
O you who were raised amongst us
coming with a work to be obeyed
You have brought to this city nobleness
Welcome! best call to God's way
