dua hai yahi shaihar yaar-e-madina
dua hai yahi shaihar yaar-e-madina
ke dekhe ye aankhe daya re madina
dua hai yahi shaihar yaar-e-madina

chale hai muhammad ke dar pe sawali
chale hai muhammad ke dar pe sawali
na aaya kabhi koi us dar se khaali
na aaya kabhi koi us dar se khaali
bhare jholiyaan taazdaar-e-madina
bhare jholiyaan taazdaar-e-madina
ke dekhe ye aankhe daya re madina
dua hai yahi shaihar yaar-e-madina

ae jag-e-muhammad mujhe aasra de
ae jag-e-muhammad mujhe aasra de
mere daman-e-shauk ko par laga de
mere daman-e-shauk ko par laga de
uda de bana ke gubbar-e-madina
uda de bana ke gubbar-e-madina
ke dekhe ye aankhe daya re madina
dua hai yahi shaihar yaar-e-madina

kiye the kabhi chaand ke jisne tukde
kiye the kabhi chaand ke jisne tukde
karodo ke jisne kiye dur dukhade
karodo ke jisne kiye dur dukhade
in aankho me hai vo mijaar-e-madina
in aankho me hai vo mijaar-e-madina
ke dekhe ye aankhe daya re madina
dua hai yahi shaihar yaar-e-madina

My prayer, O City, Beloved of Medina,
My prayer, O City, Beloved of Medina,
That these eyes may witness, mercy's Medina.

To Muhammad's door, the seekers now proceed,
To Muhammad's door, the seekers now proceed,
None ever left that haven, empty of need,
None ever left that haven, empty of need,
Their laps now filled by the King of Medina,
Their laps now filled by the King of Medina,
That these eyes may witness, mercy's Medina.
My prayer, O City, Beloved of Medina.

O Light of Muhammad, grant me refuge bright,
O Light of Muhammad, grant me refuge bright,
Bestow upon my yearning, wings of light,
Bestow upon my yearning, wings of light,
Then lift me, a dust mote, to Medina's height,
Then lift me, a dust mote, to Medina's height,
That these eyes may witness, mercy's Medina.
My prayer, O City, Beloved of Medina.

He who once split the moon in twain,
He who once split the moon in twain,
Whose grace erased the world's deep pain,
Whose grace erased the world's deep pain,
Within these eyes, his blessed tomb remain,
Within these eyes, his blessed tomb remain,
That these eyes may witness, mercy's Medina.
My prayer, O City, Beloved of Medina.
