The Story behind the lyrics of "When I Saw His Light".
I heard one day a couple of verses in Arabic praising Sayyidna Muhammad (pbuh). These two verses were attributed to the poet of the Prophet (s), Sayyidna Hassan bin Thabit (ra). These two verses touched my heart deeply. The poet tried to describe his first encounter with the light of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). After much reflection, I decided to write a song about such an encounter.
Some say there is no evidence that these verses came from Sayyidna Hassan (ra). We say Allah knows best. The point is, whoever wrote them must have been a lover of Sayyidna Muhammad (pbuh), because he understood the magnificence of the Prophetic light.
Here are the Arabic verses I based "When I Saw His Light" On:
لما رأيت أنواره سطعت .. وضعت من خيفتي كفي على بصري
خوفاً على بصري من حسن صورته .. فلست أنظره إلا على قدري
روح من النور في جسم من القمر .. كحلية نسجت من الأنجم الزهر
English Lyrics:
When I saw his light,, 
I had to cover my eyes
In fear for my sight 
from his amazing beauty
No words can describe 
The beauty of his light
In fear for my sight,
I had to cover my eyes

The Sun of Guidance

When I Saw His Light

Muhammad lives, even in his grave
Muhammad lives, Nabi Muhammad
Muhammad gives, even in his death
more than he gave during his life

Salla Alllah ala Muhammad, salla Allah alaih was-sallam
Salla Alllah ala Muhammad, salla Allah alaih was-sallam

Muhammad Lives
