Qamarun dari Majlis Selawat Siri 27

Qasida Muhammadiya, East African style.  This is not my recording - I haven't recorded it, nor do I claim ownership.  I found this file in an old folder that I was cleaning out on a very old hard drive.

I don't know who the group is, or exactly where this is being performed.  All I know, is that *THIS* is what a mawlid should sound like.

Poem | Brother Usama Canon and the Spring 2015 Ta'leef Academy at Fremont, CA

Send your blessings upon the light, Ahmad. Light of the homes, oh Muhammad. Oh you who were created from the Light of his Lord. Oh you who were named before birth.

Greetings to my love. You, who reside in the center of my heart. And by passionate love, you have become enough for me. This is how my Lord would have it.

Nobody has been tested like me. I‟m the small aqıq stone (i.e. chosen) in my family. And Ive only succeeded by admitting my ignorance. Oh breeze of the lovers, come cool us off.

Whoever gets a glance at the Qatba mountains has taken in the scent of true love. Whoever doesnt smell the scent of love, there is no medicine for him.

My heart is attached to them. In their ups and downs. I don‟t have what they have. Raise me up to them on the day I die.

How much do I turn the pages of his excellent qualities. Night and day. Land and sea [his qualities would fill], what can

Oh, would that my eye could see. Or that I could be with them. We guard this beauty then give thanks. I am a guard and I attend to them obediently.

Our Lord grant us a reward in this life and the next and protects from the torture of the Fire.
