(Urdu hymn in praise of hamaare pyaare nabee-ji)
- Zaraa chehare (chehere) se kamalee ko, hataa do ya Rasoolallaah

Zaraa chehare se kamalee ko, hataa do ya Rasoolallaah (2)
Please look in my direction, O messenger of Allah, and accept
me as (make me) your crazy disciple (follower), O prophet of God.

Zaraa chehare se kamalee ko, hataa do ya Rasoolallaah (2)
Save me from the love of this world, O messenger of Allah,
and help me to arise from my slumber, O prophet of God.
- Baree qisamat hamaaree hai, ke ummat men tumhaaree hai
Bharosaa deen-o-duniya men, tumhaaraa ya Rasoolallaah
Zaraa chehare se kamalee ko, hataa do ya Rasoolallaah (2)
I am fortunate to be born (admitted) in your fold (ummat)
and (only) on you I can rely (I have faith), O messenger of Allah.

Zaraa chehare se kamalee ko, hataa do ya Rasoolallaah.
I ask (pray to) Allah that I breathe my last In Medina, where better
to go (than) beside your holy tomb (sepulcher), O messenger of Allah. (??)
