English Transliteration

For those who cannot read Urdu script, here is the Roman English transliteration:

Maula mere Maula, Maula mere Maula
Mera koi nahi hai tere siwa
Maula mere Maula, Maula mere Maula
Mera koi nahi hai tere siwa

Tu hi tu hai jo deta hai sab ko
Thaam le meri baandh le
Tu hi tu hai jo deta hai sab ko
Thaam le meri baandh le

Dard mera tu hi jaage
Tu hi meri neend jaage
Dard mera tu hi jaage
Tu hi meri neend jaage

Dil mera chhede nahi
Tu jo mujhe chhede nahi
Dil mera chhede nahi
Tu jo mujhe chhede nahi

Dard mera tu hi jaage
Tu hi meri neend jaage
Dard mera tu hi jaage
Tu hi meri neend jaage

Maula mere Maula, Maula mere Maula
Mera koi nahi hai tere siwa
Maula mere Maula, Maula mere Maula
Mera koi nahi hai tere siwa

English Translation (Word by Word & Verse by Verse)

Verse 1

مولا میرے مولا، مولا میرے مولا
Maula mere Maula, Maula mere Maula
Translation: My Lord, my Master. My Lord, my Master.

The repetition of “Maula” is significant. In Arabic and Persian/Urdu devotional poetry, repetition deepens the emotional connection. The heart calls out again and again — not out of forgetfulness but out of love. Every “Maula” is a renewed surrender.

میرا کوئی نہیں ہے تیرے سوا
Mera koi nahi hai tere siwa
Translation: I have no one except You.

This line is the essence of Tawheed (Islamic monotheism). When a believer reaches the point where they recognize that no human being, no wealth, no status, no worldly thing can truly help them — only then do they turn completely to Allah. This is the state of ikhlas (sincere devotion).

Verse 2

تو ہی تو ہے جو دیتا ہے سب کو
Tu hi tu hai jo deta hai sab ko
Translation: It is only You who gives to everyone.

This acknowledges Allah as Ar-Razzaq — The Provider. Everything we have, from the air in our lungs to the food on our table, comes from Him alone. No intermediary is needed.

تھام لے میری باندھ لے
Thaam le meri baandh le
Translation: Hold me, tie me (to Yourself).

A beautiful plea. The devotee asks not for wealth or worldly success, but to be held and bound to Allah. To be “tied” to the Divine means to be kept on the straight path (Sirat-ul-Mustaqeem), protected from straying into sin.

Verse 3

درد مرا تو ہی جاگے
Dard mera tu hi jaage
Translation: Only You stay awake with my pain.

تو ہی میری نیند جاگے
Tu hi meri neend jaage
Translation: Only You watch over my sleep.

These two lines capture a profound spiritual truth. When we are in pain, sleepless, tossing and turning at night — Allah is the One who is aware of every tear, every sigh. And when we are finally able to sleep, it is His mercy that grants us rest and His protection that guards us. No human being can be with us 24 hours a day, but Allah never slumbers nor sleeps (Ayat-ul-Kursi, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255).

Verse 4

دل مرا چیرے نہیں
Dil mera chhede nahi
Translation: My heart does not stir/break.

تو جو مجھے چھیڑے نہیں
Tu jo mujhe chhede nahi
Translation: Unless You touch/inspire me.

This verse speaks about spiritual awakening. The heart remains dormant — it doesn’t feel the pain of separation, it doesn’t yearn for the Divine — unless Allah Himself stirs it. This is a recognition that hidayah (guidance) comes only from Allah. We cannot force our hearts to love; we can only open them and ask Him to fill them.

💡 Spiritual Insight

“Maula Mere Maula” is more than just a song — it is a dua (supplication) set to melody. Every verse is a lesson in Tawheed. The naat teaches us that:

Our ultimate dependency is on Allah alone
Pain and hardship are softened when we turn to Him
The heart is awakened only by His touch
True peace comes from being “tied” to the Divine

The Meaning Behind “Maula Mere Maula”

At its core, “Maula Mere Maula” is a confession of complete dependence on Allah. The word “Maula” carries multiple layers of meaning in Arabic:

Master — the One who owns everything
Protector — the One who guards and shields
Friend — the One who is closest to us
Benefactor — the One who bestows blessings

When someone recites “Maula Mere Maula,” they are declaring all four of these relationships simultaneously. You are saying: “You are my Master, my Protector, my Friend, and my Provider. There is no one else I can turn to.”

The structure of the naat follows a classic pattern of Islamic devotional poetry: declaration → plea → surrender → repetition. The repetition of the chorus brings the heart back to the central truth — “Mera koi nahi hai tere siwa” (I have no one except You). This mirrors the practice of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), where a phrase is repeated to internalize its meaning.

When to Recite “Maula Mere Maula”

While this naat can be recited at any time, it is especially meaningful in these situations:

During Tahajjud — the late-night prayer when the heart feels closest to Allah
In times of difficulty — when you feel alone and need to remember that Allah is with you
After Fajr — starting the day with a reminder of who is in control
Before sleep — entrusting your rest and your dreams to the One who never sleeps

May Allah accept this humble effort, and may the words of “Maula Mere Maula” bring peace and closeness to your heart. Ameen.

The Meaning and Spiritual Significance

The naat Sarkar Ka Madina is more than poetry — it is a heartfelt expression of a believer’s spiritual connection to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his city. Every verse reflects the deep-rooted love that Muslims across the world hold for Madina Munawwarah.

The opening verse establishes Madina as beloved to “the lovers” (ushaaq) — referring to those who love the Prophet (PBUH). This sets the tone for the entire naat, which is an outpouring of love and devotion. The “golden grill” (Sunehri Jaali) mentioned in the second verse refers to the beautiful golden lattice that surrounds the Rawdah — the sacred area between the Prophet’s pulpit and his house, described by the Prophet himself as “a garden from the gardens of Paradise.”

The mention of Mount Uhud and Hazrat Hamza (RA) connects the beauty of Madina with the sacrifices made by early Muslims. Hazrat Hamza, the beloved uncle of the Prophet (PBUH), was martyred in the Battle of Uhud and is buried there. This adds a layer of historical and emotional depth to the naat.

One of the most powerful themes in this naat is the desire to die in Madina. The poet prays repeatedly for Madina to be the final resting place — a sentiment shared by countless Muslims. According to Islamic tradition, there is a special mercy for those who are buried in the sacred soil of Madina.

The verse that calls Madina “the Kaaba of the Kaaba” (Hai Kaabe Ka Bhi Kaaba) is particularly profound. While Makkah is the physical direction of prayer (Qibla), Madina holds the spiritual heart of Islam — the resting place of the Prophet (PBUH). This highlights the unique status of Madina in Islamic spirituality.

Why Sarkar Ka Madina is So Popular

Sarkar Ka Madina resonates deeply with Muslims because it captures the universal love for the Prophet (PBUH) and his city in simple yet profound words. The naat does not use complex Arabic phrases — it speaks directly to the heart in Urdu, making it accessible to millions of Urdu-speaking Muslims around the world.

The refrain “Sarkaar Ka Madina” repeated throughout the naat creates a hypnotic, meditative rhythm that allows listeners to immerse themselves in the spiritual atmosphere of Madina. It has been recited by numerous naat khwans including Owais Raza Qadri, and each rendition brings out the deep emotional connection to the blessed city.

May Allah grant us all the opportunity to visit Madina Munawwarah and may He make the sacred city of the Prophet (PBUH) our final resting place. Ameen.

Naat Lyrics in Urdu (نعت کے اردو اشعار)

پھر ملنے کو دل چاہتا ہے
مدینے چلنے کو دل چاہتا ہے

تمہارے در پر اپنے آقا
جھکنے کو دل چاہتا ہے

حرم کی گلیوں میں جانا ہے
گنبد پہ سلام پھیرنا ہے
ادھر جانے کو دل چاہتا ہے
ادھر مرنے کو دل چاہتا ہے

تمہاری محفل میں بیٹھ کر
ثنا پڑھنی ہے تمہاری
تمہیں یاد کرنے کو دل چاہتا ہے
تمہیں یاد آنے کو دل چاہتا ہے

مدینے والے مدینے والے
ذرا ہم کو بھی بلا لو
تمہارے در پر آ کے بیٹھیں
یہ آرزو دل میں جاگی ہے

نظر جھکائے کھڑے ہیں ہم
ادب سے سر کو جھکائے ہیں
بس اب تو مدینے چلنا ہے
یہی تمنا دل میں باقی ہے

مجھے تو یاد ہے اک پل بھی
وہ گنبد خضریٰ کا نظارہ
پھر دیکھنے کو دل چاہتا ہے
پھر آنے کو دل چاہتا ہے

خدا تمہیں سلامت رکھے
محمد مصطفیٰ تم ہو
ہمارے دل کی دھڑکن ہو
ہماری جان تم ہو

شفاعت کا سہارا ہے
بس التجا یہی ہے
مرنا تو مدینے میں ہے
مٹنا تو مدینے میں ہے

English Translation of the Naat

Phir Milne Ko Dil Chahta Hai

The heart desires to meet again
The heart longs to go to Madinah

At your doorstep, O my Master
The heart yearns to bow down

I want to walk through the streets of the Haram
I want to circle the Green Dome with salutations
The heart longs to go there
The heart wants to be there

Sitting in your blessed gathering
I want to recite your praise
The heart yearns to remember you
The heart longs for your remembrance

O dwellers of Madinah, O people of Madinah
Please call me as well
I want to come and sit at your doorstep
This wish has awakened in my heart

With eyes lowered, I stand here
With humility, I bow my head
Now I must go to Madinah
This is the only desire left in my heart

I remember even a single moment
Of the sight of the Green Dome
The heart yearns to see it again
The heart longs to return once more

May God keep you safe
You are Muhammad Mustafa
You are the beat of my heart
You are my very life

Your intercession is my only support
This is my only plea
Let me die in Madinah
Let my end be in Madinah

Meaning and Background of the Naat

This naat centers on one of the most profound emotions in Islamic spirituality: the love for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the longing to be near him. The city of Madinah holds a special place in every Muslim’s heart because it is the city where the Prophet established the first Islamic state, built the Masjid an-Nabawi, and spent the last ten years of his blessed life. His blessed grave is located inside the mosque under the Green Dome, making Madinah one of the holiest cities in Islam.

The phrase “Phir Milne Ko Dil Chahta Hai” (The heart desires to meet again) reflects the experience of countless Muslims who visit Madinah and leave with an overwhelming desire to return. There is a famous saying among pilgrims: when you visit Makkah, you leave with the feeling that your duty is done, but when you visit Madinah, you leave with your heart still there, yearning to return.

The line about the Green Dome (Gumbad-e-Khizra) is especially poignant. The Green Dome is the iconic green-coloured dome built over the Prophet’s grave. Seeing it for the first time is an emotional experience that many describe as indescribable. The poet expresses this by saying even a single memory of that sight makes the heart ache to see it again.

The naat also beautifully expresses humility and surrender. The poet stands with lowered eyes and bowed head at the Prophet’s doorstep, recognising that the Prophet’s status is far above any human comparison. The plea “Let me die in Madinah” is a common prayer among Muslims who wish to be buried in the blessed city of the Prophet.

This naat is often recited at religious gatherings, especially during Milad-un-Nabi (the Prophet’s birthday) and other Islamic events. Its simple, repetitive structure makes it easy to memorise and recite, while its deep emotional content resonates with Muslims of all ages and backgrounds.

Spiritual Significance of Madinah in Islam

Madinah is mentioned in the Quran as the place that purified the believers and is described as “the good land.” The Prophet himself said, “Between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.” Visiting Madinah and praying in Masjid an-Nabawi carries immense spiritual reward. According to authentic hadith, one prayer in the Prophet’s mosque is better than one thousand prayers elsewhere, except for Masjid al-Haram in Makkah.

The love for Madinah is not just about a physical place. It represents love for the Prophet, his teachings, and the beautiful way of life he brought. When a believer recites this naat, they are not just expressing a wish to travel. They are expressing a spiritual connection that transcends time and distance.

Popular Reciters of This Naat

This naat has been recited by many famous naat khwans over the years. Some of the most well-known renditions include those by Owais Raza Qadri, whose melodious voice has made this naat popular across the world. Other reciters include Junaid Jamshed, Farhan Ali Waris, and the Qawwal brothers of the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan tradition. Each reciter brings their own emotional style to the naat, but the core message remains the same: a deep, heartfelt longing for the blessed city of Madinah and its beloved Prophet.

شفاعت کا سہارا ہے
بس التجا یہی ہے
مرنا تو مدینے میں ہے
مٹنا تو مدینے میں ہے

English Translation of the Naat

Phir Milne Ko Dil Chahta Hai

The heart desires to meet again
The heart longs to go to Madinah

At your doorstep, O my Master
The heart yearns to bow down

I want to walk through the streets of the Haram
I want to circle the Green Dome with salutations
The heart longs to go there
The heart wants to be there

Sitting in your blessed gathering
I want to recite your praise
The heart yearns to remember you
The heart longs for your remembrance

O dwellers of Madinah, O people of Madinah
Please call me as well
I want to come and sit at your doorstep
This wish has awakened in my heart

With eyes lowered, I stand here
With humility, I bow my head
Now I must go to Madinah
This is the only desire left in my heart

I remember even a single moment
Of the sight of the Green Dome
The heart yearns to see it again
The heart longs to return once more

May God keep you safe
You are Muhammad Mustafa
You are the beat of my heart
You are my very life

Your intercession is my only support
This is my only plea
Let me die in Madinah
Let my end be in Madinah

Jalali Jalali — Urdu Lyrics

جلالی جلالی ہے شاہ مدینہ

جلالی جلالی ہے شاہ مدینہ
غلام اس کا ہر نبیؑ کا امینہ

وہ نور مجسم وہ رحمت کا دریا
وہ آقا وہ مولیٰ وہ رحمت للعالمینہ

غلامی میں اس کی ہے عزت دوعالم
یہی ہے حقیقت یہی ہے یقینہ

کرم کی نظر ہو محمدؐ کی مجھ پر
سہارا نہیں ہے کوئی غیر کا مجھ کو

سوائے محمدؐ کے کون ہے میرا
مدینے کا والی ہے شاہ مدینہ

Jalali Jalali — English Translation

Majestic, Majestic is the King of Madina

Majestic, majestic is the King of Madina
Every prophet is his humble servant, he is the trustworthy one

He is the embodiment of light, he is the ocean of mercy
He is the master, he is the lord, he is mercy for all the worlds

In his servitude lies the honour of both worlds
This is the truth, this is what we believe

May Muhammad (PBUH) cast a gracious glance upon me
I have no support other than him

Other than Muhammad (PBUH), who is there for me?
The guardian of Madina is the King of Madina

Meaning and Background

The naat “Jalali Jalali” beautifully captures the essence of love and devotion for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Let us explore the deeper meaning of each verse:

“Majestic, majestic is the King of Madina”: The opening line sets the tone of the entire naat. It declares the majesty and glory of the Prophet, referring to him as the King of Madina. This is not a worldly kingship but a spiritual sovereignty over the hearts of believers.

“Every prophet is his humble servant, he is the trustworthy one”: This verse references the Islamic belief that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the leader of all prophets (Imam-ul-Anbiya) and the most beloved of Allah. The word “Ameen” (trustworthy) highlights his character, which is described in the Quran as being of “exalted character” (Quran 68:4).

“He is the embodiment of light, he is the ocean of mercy”: The Prophet is described as “Noor-e-Mujassam” or embodied light. This refers to the hadith that the Prophet was created from the light of Allah. He is also called the “ocean of mercy” because his message and character are a source of mercy for all of creation, as Allah says in the Quran: “And We have not sent you but as a mercy for the worlds” (Quran 21:107).

“In his servitude lies the honour of both worlds”: This verse teaches that true honour and success in this life and the next come from following and loving the Prophet. To be his follower is the highest status a believer can achieve.

“May Muhammad cast a gracious glance upon me”: This is a heartfelt supplication from the poet, asking for the Prophet’s attention and intercession.

“Other than Muhammad, who is there for me?”: This verse expresses complete reliance on the Prophet. In Islamic spirituality, the Prophet is the ultimate intercessor and guide.

“The guardian of Madina is the King of Madina”: The naat concludes by reaffirming the Prophet’s role as the protector and guardian of Madina, the city he built and where he is buried.

When to Recite This Naat

“Jalali Jalali” is typically recited on the following occasions:

Milad-un-Nabi (Eid Milad): Celebrations of the Prophet’s birthday.
Urs of Awliya: Gatherings marking the death anniversaries of Sufi saints.
Weekly Mehfil-e-Naat: Regular naat gatherings held in homes and mosques.
Friday Gatherings: Many people recite or listen to this naat on Fridays.
Personal Worship: Many Muslims recite this naat daily as part of their spiritual practice.

The Spiritual Impact of Jalali Jalali

The poet skillfully weaves together themes of spiritual restlessness, the beauty of the Prophet’s character, and the hope of intercession on the Day of Judgement. It is a naat that speaks to anyone who has ever felt distant from their faith and longs to return to the light of the Prophet’s guidance.
