Lyrics & Translation:
قال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: “إِنَّ لِي أَسْمَاءً، أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَنَا أَحْمَدُ، وَأَنَا الْمَاحِي الَّذِي يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِيَ الْكُفْرَ، وَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ الَّذِي يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدَمِي، وأنا العاقبُ (والعاقبُ الذي ليس بعده نبيٌّ)”. رواه البخاري ومسلم
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “I have many names: I am Muhammad; I am Ahmad; I am Al-Mahi (The Eraser), by whom Allah erases blasphemy; I am Al-Hashir (The Gatherer), before whom people are gathered (on the Day of Judgement); I am Al-‘Aqib (the Last Prophet), after whom there are no more Prophets; Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

قلبي محمّد Muhammad, my heart
ونحن فيه نُفاخر He is the source of our pride
قلبي محمّد Muhammad, my heart
من لم يُصلِّ عليه Whomsoever doesn’t send peace upon him,
فهو البخيلُ الخاسِر is a miserly loser
فهو البخيلُ الخاسِر is a miserly loser
وهو النبيُّ العاقِب He is the Last Prophet (Al-‘Aqib)
قلبي محمّد Muhammad, my heart
قمرٌ أضاءَ كواكب He’s a moon that lit up the planets
قلبي محمّد Muhammad, my heart
مِسكُ الخِتامِ حبيبي My beloved, the seal of all the Prophets
