 Intro : C G F Am E
 
 Am                   
 We once had a Teacher
 Em                      
 The Teacher of teachers,
 G                                  
 He changed the world for the better
 F                            
 And made us better creatures,
 Am                             
 Oh Allah we?ve shamed ourselves
 Em                             
 We?ve strayed from Al-Mu?allim,
 G                             
 Surely we?ve wronged ourselves
 F                             
 What will we say in front him?
 Dm        Am 
 Oh Mu?allim?

 F                                           
 Abal Qasim (one of the names of the Prophet)
 Em                 F 
 Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
 (My beloved O Muhammad)
 Em                  F 
 Ya Shafi?i ya Muhammad
 (My intercessor O Muhammad)
 G                      Am  
 Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad
 (The best of Allah?s creation is Muhammad)
 Am                            
 Ya Mustafa ya Imamal Mursalina
 (O Chosen One, O Imam of the Messengers)
 Am                             
 Ya Mustafa ya Shafi?al ?Alamina
 (O Chosen One, O intercessor of the worlds)
 
 Am                    Em    
 He prayed while others slept
 F                     Em   
 While others ate he?d fast,
 G                             
 While they would laugh he wept
 F                          
 Until he breathed his last,
 Am                            
 His only wish was for us to be
 Em                         
 Among the ones who prosper,
 G                             
 Ya Mu?allim peace be upon you,
 F                         
 Truly you are our Teacher,
 Dm        Am 
 Oh Mu?allim..

 Am                   
 Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
 (My beloved O Muhammad)
 G                     
 Ya Shafi?i ya Muhammad
 (My intercessor O Muhammad)

 Nuru ?Ayni ya Muhammad
 (Light of my eye O Muhammad)
 
 Am                         G    
 He taught us to be just and kind
 Em                   Am         
 And to feed the poor and hungry,
 G                                     
 Help the wayfarer and the orphan child
 Em                    Am        
 And to not be cruel and miserly,
 G                              
 His speech was soft and gentle,
 Em                  Am           
 Like a mother stroking her child,
 G                        
 His mercy and compassion,
 Em                 Am           
 Were most radiant when he smiled
