Pray My Lord

He split the moon in two,
And was more beautiful than two moons could ever hope to be
Send peace upon him and his companions and upon his family. Salloo!
Hold a while and let me tell of marvels that once appeared
Shattering the cage of reason, hubris, and contumely.
At this birth a thousand signs shone from east and shone from west.
Fragrance filled the earth and air.
Rebel demons turned to flee.
Can such light once have been not when another creature was?
Can it be Heaven's intent not to hail him anciently?

Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.
I said, Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.

Did the angels not revere, as they bowed to Adam's form,
He who was the purest heir of covenant and family?
Through God's justice I am lost. My actions give me away,
But his mercy to the worlds proclaims hope eternally.
Though I fear my wayward ways, still my confidence is sure
For his pleading in my case liberates me utterly.

Oh, Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.
I said, Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.

Ya rabbi Salli ala Muhammadin wa ala Sadatina alihi wa Sahbihil kirami
Ya rabbi Salli ala Muhammadin wa ala Sadatina alihi wa Sahbihil kirami

Mawlaya Salli wa sallim daa'iman abada
Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Qul mawlaya Salli wa sallim daa'iman abada
Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi

If he does not take my hand, what reliance can there be
On my works and on my prayers offered so distractedly.
And may blessings rest on Abu Bakr, Omar, Uthman,
Those who merited the Caliphs, ..., as did great Ali,
And upon the believing legions who came after them,
Faithful women, faithful men, peace be on them constantly.

Oh, Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.
I said, Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.
Pray my Lord and grant your blessings always eternally
Upon Muhammad, his companions, and his family.
Salloo!
