We are currently at Phase One of the project: working on uploading precise transliterations and translations. Our new project, The Qasida Collective now aims to collate many of the Qasidas that WE at Desert Echo use and allow you to engage with a reference point. Some have wanted translations, others transliterations, and others clear Arabic script. Over the last ten years of teaching qasidas, hosting mawlids and being invited to perform at gatherings of praise, we have been often asked for lyrics in a variety of ways. He is the best of whomever left traces upon the earth, pure in noble character and disposition No eye has seen or ever will see a human like Ta-Ha (Muhammad) in all creation Khayru man fawqath tharaa -atharaa, taahirul -akhlaaqi wash shiyami Maara-at ‘aynun wa laysa taraa, mithla Taha fil waraa basharaa a just witness for the people of resolve and wrongdoing The Elect of the Creator and his Chosen One The illuminated Prophet, whose heart was sweet as were his ethics and way of life

Safwatul baaree wa kheeratuhu, ‘adlu -ahlil Hilli wal Harami Qamarun taabat sareeratuhu, wa sajaayaahu wa seeratuhu The owner of the verses and chapters (Holy Quran), the source of laws and wisdom The master of masters from Mudar, the saviour of people of the desert and cities SaaHibul aayaati wassuwari, manba’ul -aHkaami wal Hikami Sayyidus saadaati min mudari, ghawthu -ahlil badwi wal Hadari

So renounce both worlds apart from love for the master of the Arabs and non-Arabs I swear by the falling star, the healthy and the sick are not alike Qasaman binnajmi Heena hawaa, mal mu’aafaa was saqeemu sawaaįakhla’il kawnayni ‘anka siwaa, Hubbi mawlal ‘urbi wal ‘ajami In my life and in my hereafter, O Messenger of Allah take my hand O Leader of the Messengers, O My Support, you are the door to Allah, my reliance!
