Yu Tere Naam Se

Mukhtar Hussain

A devotee describes how writing poetry in honor of the Prophet Muhammad feels like a sacred act of worship.

Naat

Yu Tere Naam Se Is Dil Ne Mohabbat Ki Hai

In this way, my heart has fallen in love with Your name.

Naat Likhe Hue Kagaz Ki Bhi Izzat Ki Hai Raat Bhar Jaag K Ashaar Likhe Hai Mene Yani Kagaz Pe Tahajjud Ki Ibadat Ki Hai

I have even honored the paper upon which the Naat is written. I have stayed awake all night to compose these verses; It is as if I have performed the worship of Tahajjud upon this paper.

Khalo Khadnam K Harfo Se Tarashe Unke Isme Ahmad Me Mohammad Ki Seyarat Ki Hai

Carved from the letters of his blessed features, I have witnessed the character of Muhammad within the name of Ahmad.

Humke Taakire Zamana K Sabab Dur Rahe Humne Haatho Pe Nhi Zikr Pe Beyyat Ki Hai

We remained distant due to the constraints of the era, But we have pledged our allegiance not with our hands, but through His remembrance.

Ayate Chalti Rahi Aap Ke Pichhe Pichhe Aapke Qadmo Se Quran Ne Hijrat Ki Hai

The verses of the Quran kept following in your footsteps; The Quran itself has migrated alongside your steps.

Gardne Midhate Afrak Ki Hasrat Ki Hai Apne Kaamat Se Badhi Baat Ki Niyat Ki Hai

I have longed to praise the heights of your stature, I have intended to speak of matters greater than my own capacity.

Naat Koi Jo Agar Ki Hai Kisine Akbar Hasbe Taufik Nhi Hasbe Inayat Ki Hai

If anyone has written a Naat, O Akbar, It was not by their own ability, but by His grace and favor.
