Another timeless jewel. This Nasheed is a classical Shami poem in praise of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The Music is a new composition. Its never been sung with this melody.

lyrics

7- Ya Imama ʹr-Rusli/Oh Leader of Messengers
Ya Imama ʹr-Rusli ya sanadi anta baʿda ʹl-Lahi muʿtamadi
Fa-bi-dunyaya wa-akhirati ya Rasulallahi khud biyadi
Qasamn bin-najmi ḥina hawa ma ʹlmuʿafa wa ʹs-saqimu sawa
Fakhlaʿil kawnaini ʿanka siwa ḥubbi mawla ʹlʿurbi wa ʹlʿajami
Sayyidu ʹs-sadati min muḍaru ghawthu ahli ʹl-badwi wa ʹl-ḥaḍari
ṣaḥibu ʹl-Ayati wa ʹs-suwari manbaʿu ʹl-Aḥkami wa ʹl-ḥikami
Qamarun ṫabat sariratuhu wa sajayahu wa siratuhu
ṣafwatu ʹl-Bari wa khayratuhu ʿidlu ahli ʹl-ḥilli wa ʹl-ḥarami
Ma raʹat ʿainun wa laisa tara mitha ṫaha fi ʹlwara bashara
Khair man massa ʹth-thara athara ṫahiru ʹl-akhlaqi wa ʹsh-shiyami

7- يا إمام الرسل
يا امام الرسل يا سندي أنت باب الله معتمدي
فبدنياي وآخرتي يا رسول الله خذ بيدي
قسما بالنجم حين هوى ما المعافى والسقيم سوى
فاخلع الكونين عنك سوى حب مولى والعجم
سيد السادات من مضر غوث أهل البدو الحضر
صاحب الآيات والسور منبع الأحكام والحكم
قمر طابت سريرته وسجاياه وسيرته
صفوة الباري وخيرته عدل أهل الحل والحرم
ما رأت عين وليس ترى مثل طاه في الورى بشر
خير من فوق الثرى أثر طاهر الأخلاق والشيم

O leader of Prophets

O leader of all Prophets, o you my Support,
You are the door to Allah, the one on whom I rely.

O Messenger of Allah, take me by my hand.
An oath was sworn "By the star when it declines"

Good health and sickness are not alike.
So divest yourself of the two universes, except for

Love for the Master of the Arabs and non-Arabs.
He is the Master of Masters, from the people of Mudar,

The great helper of the people of desert and cities,
He was given signs (ayat) and Suras,

He is the source of wisdom and Sacred Law.
Like a moon, good and wholesome is his heart,

He is the most pure and and select of all people,
A righteous witness for people of right and wrong.

In this my dunya and in my afterlife,
his character and his way of life.

No eye has seen, or ever will see,
A human being the like of TaHa.

He is the best who ever left traces on earth,
Pure in character and noble personal traits.
