I don’t usually listen to Urdu Qasidahs (since I only speak English), but I fell in love with this translation and had to post it!
From the Album “O’ My Lord” by Ehsaan Tahmid
‘Tis is longtime desire – to sight the beauty of Mustafa
Want to see the leader of messengers, beloved of God
He because of whom even the morning got its luster
Want to see that leader who enlightened the environment
He whose blessings and abundance fills this world
My troubled heart wants to view that precious pearl
Steps are outside Madinah but the heart firmly there
Lord, O my Lord, I want to see the limits of gandeur
This world is baseless, treacherous and an abode of sorrow
The intention is to get a sight of loyalty at the door of betrayal
He the first of creations, peace and blessings upon him
O Lord give me an opportunity, I want to see the last Prophet
Some times the meeting of beauty, some times indulgent views
Sometimes in the chains of tears, I want to sight lover’s call
The messenger, distributor of bounties in this world and the hereafter
I do want to see Prophet Mujtaba, the intercessor of my wretched self
Want to reach the gate of Jannah together with the holy Prophet
O Lord of mine, I do want to witness this scene of intercession
