Intro (spoken / chanted in rhythm):
Ya Nabi, light of creation…
Sent as mercy, foundation of salvation…
(Wa ma arsalnaka illa rahmatan lil-‘alameen…)
---
(Verse 1 — laid-back reggae groove, jazz chords):
From oceans of mercy, you came with the light,
Habibullah, shining star of the night.
Seal of the Prophets, the truth is serene,
Ya Muhammad, Rahmatan lil-‘Alameen.

(Chorus — call & response, reggae skank on off-beat):
🎵 Lead: Wa ma arsalnaka…
🎶 Response: O mercy we’ve seen…
🎵 Lead: Illa rahmatan…
🎶 Response: For all that has been…
🎵 All together: Your light, Ya Muhammad, forever will gleam,
Ya Rahmatan lil-‘Alameen…

(Verse 2 — jazz swing over reggae bassline):
Shaykh reminds us, your love’s the key,
Polish the heart, set the soul free.
Through zikr and salawat, mercy rains,
Healing the earth, removing the chains.

Drink from the love, Muhammadan dream.
