Ya Ajmal Al Anbiya

يا أجمل الأنبياء

Arabic text

يَا أَجْمَلَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ يَا أَكْمَلَ الْأَصْفِيَاءِ
يَا خَاتَمَ الرُّسْلِ مَا أَحْلَاكَ فِي قَلْبِيَ
يَا ذَا الَّذِي نُسْخَتُ الْأَكْوَانِ فِيكَ مَطْوِيَة
عَطِيَّةٌ أَزَلِيَة
أَنْتَ الَّذِي أُعْطِيتَ الشَّفَاعَةَ الوَافِيَة
وَالخَلْقُ حِينَئِذٍ يَلْتَمِسُونَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِلأَنَامِ قَدْ نِلْتُمُ الْأُمْنِيَةِ
أَلَا اقْصُدُوا مُحَمَّدًا بَابَ الْإِلَهِ الْعَالِيَا
آياتُهُ شَافِـيَة
وَهُوَ المُعَادُ لَهَا وَذُو الْثَنَاءِ الْوَافِيَة
ثُمَّ يُنَادِي سَاجِدًا يَا رَبِّ جُد رَاضِيَا
يُنَادَى اشْفَعْ يَا حَبِيبٍ يَا رَحْمَةَ الْبَارِيَة
وَسَلْ تُعْطَ مَا تَرُومٍ وَلَا تَدَعْ عَاصِيَا
يَا صَفْوَةَ الْأَصْفِيَا
صَلُّوا عَلَى مَن عَلَا فَوْقَ السَّمَا رَاقِيَة
هَذَا حَبِيبٌ غَدَا عَنَّا الْعَنَا مَاحِيَا
يَا رَبَّنَا اعْطِفْ عَلَيْنَا قَلْبَهُ الْزَّاكِيَا
وَاخْتِم لَنَا خِتَامَ مِسْكٍ يَا مُجِيْبَ الدَّاعِيَا
بِالْأَسْرَارِ الزَّاكِيَا

English translation

O most beautiful of the prophets, O the most perfect of the purest.
O seal of the messengers, how dear you are in my heart.
O you in whom the universes were folded.
An eternal gift
You are the one who was given the encompassing intercession.
And on that day, all creation will seek the prophets.
Then it will be said to the people, You have attained your wishes.
Go to Muhammad the exalted gate of God,
His signs are a cure.
And he is prepared for it, the one of abundant praise
Then he will call, prostrating, "O Lord, grant (Your) pleasure
He will be called, Intercede, O beloved, O mercy of creation.
Ask, and you will be given what you seek, and no one will be left disobedient.
O the most choicest one of the chosen ones.
Send blessings upon the one who ascended above the heavens.
This is the beloved who removes all suffering.
O our Lord, turn his pure heart towards us.
And conclude our lives with a sweet ending, O Answerer of prayers,
With the pure secrets
