Introduction:
Qasidah Burdah is the famous poem written by Imaam Sharaf Uddin Muhammad Al
Buseeri (608 - 695 AH), in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him).
He wrote this poem when he suffered from a stroke. One night the Holy Prophet (pbuh)
appeared in his dream and Imaam Buseeri recited this poem in front of Him. The
Holy Prophet (pbuh) gave him a garment (Burdah) and prayed for him. When he woke
the next morning, Imaam Buseeri was miraculously cured from his illness.
Chorus:
Oh my Lord! Send peace and blessings on your beloved
The best and perfect creation that you’ve created
Mawlaya salli wa sallim daa iman abadan
Ala habeebika khairil khalqi kullihimi
Muhammadun sayyidul kawnaini wa saqalain
Wal fareeqaini min urbiw wa min ajami
Chorus
Nabiyyunal aamirun nahee falaa ahadun
Abarra fee qawli laa minhu walaa na ami
