correction: Ijaabat ka sehra inaayat ka joRa Dulhan ban ke niklee duaaye Muhammad A diadem of acceptance, a dress of bestowing Like a bride went the prayer of Muhammad! Hear the peerless scholar Hazrat Qibla Shah Sahib, Huzoor Sayyidi Mufakkir e Islam giving an explanation of this verse of Ala Hazrat's naat and other verses of the same naat! subhan Allah! <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lfo2P62I7Tc&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lfo2P62I7Tc&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfo2P62I7Tc
who else loves this naat sharif? once i deliberately posted this on the -- i think now defunct [thank Allah!] Salafi MSA forum and they went ballistic with cries of 'shirk' 'shirk' -- of course the never actually read it in detail as there is nothing but pure Sunni aqidah in this naat. Still i love getting Wobblers wobbling in rage!
I just feel like translating the whole naat ; i was lazy so copy n pasted the transliteration; the translation is solely my own. [version 1.0] 786/92 Zehe Izzat-o I’tilaaye Muhammad Ke hai Arsh-e-Haqq zir-e-paaye Muhammad Such is the honour and grandeur of Muhammad The Divine Throne lies 'neath the feet of Muhammad! Makaan Arsh unka falaq farsh unka Malak khaadmaan-e-saraaye Muhammad The world, the Throne, skies, earth are his! The angels the manservants of Muhammad! Khuda ki raza chaahatay hain do Aalam Khuda chaahata hai Razaaye Muhammad Both the worlds aim to please God God wishes to please Muhammad! Ajab kya agar raham farmaaye hum par Khudaaye Muhammad baraaye Muhammad It wouldn't be strange if He shows us mercy Muhammad's God, for the sake of Muhammad! Muhammad baraaye Janaab-e-Ilaahi Janaab-e-Ilaahi baraaye Muhammad Muhammad for the Almighty Lord The Almighty Lord for Muhammad! Dam-e-nazaa’ jaari ho meri zabaan par Muhammad Muhammad Khudaaye Muhammad At the moment of death may I say: Muhammad Muhammad, the Lord of Muhammad! Mein qurbaan kya pyaari pyaari hai nisbat! Yeh aane Khuda woh Khudaaye Muhammad May I die for such a connection! He is the glory of God, He the God of Muhammad! Khuda unko kis pyaar se dekhta hai Joh aankhein hein mahv e-liqaaye Muhammad With such love does God look upon Those eyes busy adoring Muhammad! Ijaabat ka sehra inaayat ka joRa Dulhan ban ke niklee duaaye Muhammad A diadem of asking, a dress of bestowing Like a bride went the prayer of Muhammad! Raza pul se ab wajd karte guzariye Ke hai "Rabbi Sallim" sadaaye Muhammad Raza now cross the Bridge in ecstasy! For "My Lord, peace!" is the cry of Muhammad! صلى الله عليه وسلم *Tamasha tau dekho ke dozakh ki aatish Lagaaye Khuda aur bhujaaye Muhammad! See this spectacle: the fires of Hell Are stoked by God, extinguished by Muhammad! *this verse by Iqbal. __________________
