(Arabic)

يا رسول الله

قلبي مشتاق

للمدينة

يا حبيب الله

كُلي أشواق 

للمدينة

لنبي الله

مُدَت برجاء أيادينا

ما تَرُدُّنا يا رسول الله خائبينَ 

(Kurdish (refrain))

Yā Rasūla l-Lāh 

Yā shay Medina

Har kas ‘ashgta

Dili mashkina 

(Persian)

To ey khorshide

Sepehre delhā

Mawlā yā mawlā

Dar āsemānhā 

Be bī-karānhā 

Nūre to peydā

Ey rahnamā o 

Moalleme mā

Mawlā yā mawlā

Habībe l-Lāh

Shafī’e l-Lāh

Payāmbare mā

(Turkish)

Yâ Resûlallah

Yâ Nebiyallah

Günâhım çokdur 

Eyle şefâat

Senin aşkına

Affede Mevlâ 

Kıl bize duâ 

Yâ Resûlallah

(Kurdish)

Bīm ba dawrī to ‘azīzam, 

Yā Nabī, Yā Shafī’
