Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammad – Qaseeda Burda Shareef [PTV Channel Recording]

 

There is something beautiful about the old PTV recordings of Qaseeda Burda Shareef. Before the high-tech studios and auto-tune, there was just raw devotion and the timeless poetry of Imam al-Busiri. Listening to this takes me back to quiet evenings and a different era of spiritual expression. If you grew up watching PTV, this melody is likely etched into your heart.

 هُوَ الْحَبِيبُ الَّذِي تُرْجَى شَفَاعَتُهُ لِكُلِّ هَوْلٍ مِنَ الْأَهْوَالِ مُقْتَحِمِ

 دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَالْمُسْتَمْسِكُونَ بِهِ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ بِحَبْلٍ غَيْرِ مُنْفَصِمِ

Transliteration: Fa mablaghul ‘ilmi fihi annahu basharun Wa annahu khayru khalqillahi kullihimi
