A5
We once had a Teacher
E5
The Teacher of teachers,
G5
He changed the world for the better
F5
And made us better creatures,
A5
Oh Allah we?ve shamed ourselves
E5
We?ve strayed from Al-Mu?allim ,
G5
Surely we?ve wronged ourselves
F5
What will we say in front him?
D5        A5
Oh Mu?allim?

Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,

He was Muhammad salla Allahu ?alayhi wa sallam ,
F5          G5            A5
Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,

A5                    E5
He prayed while others slept
F5                     E5
While others ate he?d fast,
G5
While they would laugh he wept
F5
Until he breathed his last,
A5
His only wish was for us to be
E5
Among the ones who prosper,
G5
Ya Mu?allim peace be upon you,
F5
Truly you are our Teacher,
D5        A5
Oh Mu?allim..

He taught us to be just and kind
E5                   A5
And to feed the poor and hungry,
G5
Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
E5                    A5
And to not be cruel and miserly,
G5
His speech was soft and gentle,
E5                  A5
Like a mother stroking her child,
G5
His mercy and compassion,
E5                 A5
Were most radiant when he smiled
