Prophetic Night Journey (al Isra) & Ascension (al Miraj): English Poem " Ascension " by Talib Al Habib with Lyrics : https://youtu.be/dBVqVElhf5k

[Verse 1]
From the Sacred House to Jerusalem
Through the seven heavens did he ascent
To the Love Divine beyond where or when
Send peace on him and his family

[Chorus]
Balagha al-'ula bi kamalihi
Kashafa ad-duja bi jamalihi
Hasunat jami'u khisalihi
Sallu' alayhi wa aalihi

[Verse 2]
Like a moon set sail on the heaven’s seas
Through the dark night riding on the lightning-steed
See, one born of earth strides the heaven’s fields
Send peace on him and his family

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the stars gave thanks and the moon did weep
As its beauty paled before the Hashimi
For what sun or moon can compare to him?
Send peace on him and his family

[Chorus]
Balagha al-'ula bi kamalihi
Kashafa ad-duja bi jamalihi
Hasunat jami'u khisalihi
Sallu' alayhi wa aalihi

[Verse 3]
As his heart was strengthened and purified
And was filled with wisdom and light on light
So the wells of Zamzam he sanctified
Send peace on him and his family

[Pre-Chorus 2]
For the Prophets, Adam to Jesus Christ
Came to honour him and to pray behind
One from whose lamp they had received their light
Send peace on him and his family

[Chorus]
Balagha al-'ula bi kamalihi
Kashafa ad-duja bi jamalihi
Hasunat jami'u khisalihi
Sallu' alayhi wa aalihi

[Verse 4]
And the gates of heaven, so high and strong
Opened joyfully for the one called upon
And the angels sang, "Peace on you, welcome!"
Send peace on him and his family

[Pre-Chorus 3]
When Gibril did falter, Muhammad rose
Where no Prophet nor angel may approach
So beloved to the Beloved returned
Send peace on him and his family

[Chorus]
Balagha al-'ula bi kamalihi
Kashafa ad-duja bi jamalihi
Hasunat jami'u khisalihi
Sallu' alayhi wa aalihi

[Verse 5]
For the peace that comes to surrendered hearts
For the mercy descending when the prayer is called
For the blessings born of your charity
Send peace on him and his family

[Pre-Chorus 4]
Through perfection did he attain the heights
Through his beauty did he dispel the night
Oh, how blest are all of his qualities
Send peace on him and his family

[Chorus]
Balagha al-'ula bi kamalihi
Kashafa ad-duja bi jamalihi
Hasunat jami'u khisalihi
Sallu' alayhi wa aalihi

Balagha al-'ula bi kamalihi
Kashafa ad-duja bi jamalihi
Hasunat jami'u khisalihi
Sallu' alayhi wa aalihi

He attained exaltation by his perfection.
He dispelled darkness by his beauty.
Beauteous are all his qualities,
Benediction be on him and on his family.
