Al Mu'allim - Sami Yusuf

WE ONCE HAD A TEACHER
A TEACHER OF TEACHERS
HE CHANGED THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER
AND MADE US BETTER CREATURES

OH ALLAH WE'VE SHAMED OURSELVES
WE'VE STRAYED FROM AL-MU'ALLIM
SURELY WE'VE WRONGED OURSELVES
WHAT WILL WE SAY IN FRONT HIM?
OH MU'ALLIM...

* HE WAS MUHAMMAD
SALLA ALLAHU 'ALAYHI WA SALLAM
MUHAMMAD, MERCY UPON MANKIND,
TEACHER OF ALL MANKIND

WHILE THEY WOULD LAUGH HE WEPT
