Qasida Imam Zain ul-Abideen (radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) Arabic Transliteration with English Translation

Yaa Sayidee Irham lanaa
O'my Master, be merciful to us


In nilta ya reehas sabaa yowman Ilaa aardil haram
Ballig salaami rowdatan feehan nabiyyul muhtaram

O wind! One day If you pass by the land of haram
send my salams to the shrine in which the most respected rests


Maw wajhuhoo shamsud duhaa man khadduhoo badrud dujhaa
Man zaatuhoo noorul hudaa man kaffuhoo bahrul hamam

He who's blessed face is the midday sun
and his blessed cheeks are the full moon
He who's self is the light of guidance and who's generosity is an ocean


Qur'aanuhoo burhaanoonaa faskhal li'adyaanin madat
Iz jaa'a naa ahkaamuhoo kulloos suhufi saaral adam

The Qur'aan is our source that shows the other religions are abbrogated,
when it's rules and regulation came to us the other books
became like non-existing


Akbaadunaa majruhatun min sayfi hijril mustafaa
Tubaa li ahleey baladatin feehan nabiyyool muhthashaam

Our hearts are hurt due to being away from you
Glad tidings be to those who are in your city


Ya Laytani kuntu kamaay yattabi nabiyyan aaliman
Yowmaw wa laylan daa'iman warzuq kazaa li bilkaram

I wish i was a follower of yours as a scholar

(The above means, i wish i was a scholar and then be a follower of yours. I would follow you all day and night and forever. Please make me a scholar)
