Shaam – Mowlaya Sali - My Lord Send Prayers lyrics

Album: Mercy Like The Rain

Extract from chapter 10 of the Qasida Burdah by Imam Al-Busiri
[ translated from Arabic ]

My Master send prayers and peace always and forever
Upon Your beloved, the best of Creation

O Noblest of Creation I have none more worthy of seeking shelter with
Than you at the occurrence of widespread calamity

O Messenger of Allah your exalted status will never diminish because of intercession on my behalf
When the Noble One [Allah] will manifest (Himself) by the name of the Avenger

For indeed from your generosity, are this Life and its partner, the Hereafter
And from amongst your knowledge is the knowledge of the [Preserved] Tablet and the Pen

[O my soul do not become despondent due to your grievous sins
Verily major sins when pardoned are minor]

Perhaps the mercy of my Lord when it is bestowed
Would be distributed in proportion to the sins
