Woh Mera Nabi Hai — Full Urdu Lyrics
وہ میرا نبی ہے، وہ میرا حبیب ہے
وہ مصطفیٰ ہے، وہ شفیع المذنبین ہے
جن کو خدا نے ہدایت کا علم دیا
ان کی محبت میں ہم نے بھی دل دیا
وہ رحمتہ للعالمین ہے
وہ میرا نبی ہے، وہ میرا حبیب ہے
ان کے در پر جو بھی آیا، خالی نہ گیا
جس نے بھی مانگا، اسے بھر کر دیا
وہ باب الحوائج ہے
وہ میرا نبی ہے، وہ میرا حبیب ہے
ان کے صدقے میں یہ دنیا بنی ہے
ان کے صدقے میں رحمت ہوئی ہے
وہ خیر البریہ ہے
وہ میرا نبی ہے، وہ میرا حبیب ہے
دل مدینے کا طالب ہے، یا نبی
روضے پہ جانا ہے مجھے، یا نبی
آپ کے در کا میں گدا ہوں
وہ میرا نبی ہے، وہ میرا حبیب ہے
جب بھی میں ان کا نام لیتا ہوں
دل مرا مسکرانے لگتا ہے
وہ نور مجسم ہے
وہ میرا نبی ہے، وہ میرا حبیب ہے
English Transliteration
Woh mera Nabi hai, woh mera Habeeb hai
Woh Mustafa hai, woh Shafi-al-Muznibeen hai
Jin ko Khuda ne hidayat ka ilm diya
Un ki mohabbat mein hum ne bhi dil diya
Woh Rahmatan Lil Alameen hai
Woh mera Nabi hai, woh mera Habeeb hai
Un ke dar par jo bhi aaya, khali na gaya
Jis ne bhi maanga, usey bhar kar diya
Woh Bab-al-Hawaij hai
Woh mera Nabi hai, woh mera Habeeb hai
Un ke sadqay mein yeh duniya bani hai
Un ke sadqay mein rehmat hui hai
Woh Khayr-al-Bariyyah hai
Woh mera Nabi hai, woh mera Habeeb hai
Dil Madinay ka talib hai, Ya Nabi
Roze pe jana hai mujhe, Ya Nabi
Aap ke dar ka mein gada hoon
Woh mera Nabi hai, woh mera Habeeb hai
Jab bhi mein un ka naam leta hoon
Dil mera muskuranay lagta hai
Woh Noor-e-Mujassam hai
Woh mera Nabi hai, woh mera Habeeb hai

Meaning and Background
The naat ‘Woh Mera Nabi Hai’ is a personal declaration of love and devotion to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Each verse highlights a different aspect of the Prophet’s blessed personality and his role in creation.
1. The Chosen One and Intercessor: The opening verse describes the Prophet as Mustafa (the Chosen One) and Shafi-al-Muznibeen (the Intercessor for sinners). These titles reflect the Islamic belief that Allah chose the Prophet for his noble mission and that the Prophet will intercede for his followers on the Day of Judgment.
2. Rahmatan Lil Alameen: This phrase is directly from the Quran (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107), where Allah says, ‘And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.’ This verse emphasises that the Prophet’s mission was one of mercy for all of creation, not just for humans.
3. Bab-al-Hawaij: The Prophet is described as the Door of Needs. This reflects the belief that turning to the Prophet with sincere love and seeking his intercession is a means of having one’s needs fulfilled by Allah.
4. Created for His Sake: The verse ‘For his sake, this world was created’ reflects a well-known hadith (prophetic tradition) that Allah created the universe for the sake of the Prophet Muhammad. While scholars debate the exact interpretation, the general meaning is that the Prophet is the greatest of creation and the reason for creation’s honour.
5. Longing for Madinah: The fifth verse expresses the deep spiritual longing that Muslims have to visit Madinah and the Prophet’s resting place (Rawza Mubarak). This longing is a common theme in Islamic poetry and reflects the love that believers hold for the Prophet.
6. Noor-e-Mujassam: The Prophet is described as the Embodied Light. This is based on the Islamic understanding that the Prophet’s essence was created from light (noor) and that he illuminates the path of guidance for humanity. The Quran describes the Prophet as a light: ‘There has come to you light from Allah and a clear Book’ (Surah Al-Maidah 5:15).
