O Muhammad, O Muhammad

By Muqtedar Khan

O Muhammad, O Muhammad,
Peace and Blessings upon you, O Muhammad
O beloved of the One, O confidant of the One
The One and his many send blessings upon you

O Muhammad, O Muhammad
You were a Prophet before Adam
You were the light before the dawn
Love and blessings upon you, O Muhammad, O Muhammad

You went beyond The Beyond
You saw His greatest of Signs
Your name is on his throne, O Muhammad
Every atom, every soul, sends blessings upon you

He is the most Merciful, The Most Compassionate
He is All Knowing and All Forgiving
And he sent you, O Muhammad, as mercy to all
All of us, sinners and Walis, send blessings upon you

Every day I dream of dreaming of you
O Muhammad, O Muhammad
My nights are still barren, My dreams are still deserts
Come be mercy to Muqtedar, O Muhammad, O Muhammad

This salawat to our master Muhammad (pbuh) is inspired by the Quran 33:56.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا

Indeed Allah and his angels sends blessings on the Prophet,
O you who believe send your blessings on his greet him with worthy salutations.
