Anthem for the Prophet ﷺ
Loyembo mpo na Mosakoli ﷺ
Ln
Ṣalli rabbī ʿala n-nabiyyi, shafīʿinā Aḥmad
Ṣalli rabbī ʿala n-nabiyyi, shafīʿinā Aḥmad
Nkolo, pambola Mosakoli Ahmad mobondeli na biso
Nkolo, pambola Mosakoli Muhammad nkolo na biso
The people that in darkness dwelt,
Bato oyo bazalaki kofanda na kati ya molili,
A glorious light have seen
Bamoni pole moko ya nkembo mpenza
God's prophet now to them hath come,
Mosakoli ya Nzambe eyei sika epai na bango,
Muhammad, Al-Amin
Muhammad, Al-Amin
We hail thee, Allah's Prophet true,
Tokopesa yo losako, Mosakoli ya solo ya Allah,
Of prophecy the seal
Suka ya basakoli banso
We read with reverence the Book,
Totangaka buku na limemya mpenza,
Thou wast sent to reveal
Oyo yo otindamaki mpo na komonisa
For thou the burden did'st remove,
Mpo ete olongolaki mokumba wana ya kilo,
Idolatry's fell rod
Lingenda ya mabe ya losambo ya bikeko
And in thy day the idols fell,
Mpe na mikolo na yo bikeko bikweyaki,
Before the Sword of God
Liboso ya mopanga ya Nzambe
To bless Arabia and the world,
Mpo na kopambola Arabia mpe mokili mobimba,
Most surely thou wast raised
Ya solo mpenza mpo na yango otelemi
We'll sing thy praises evermore,
Tokoyemba nkembo na yo libela na libela,
Our Mustafa, the praised
Mustafa na biso, oyo akumisami
We watch with gentle, fostering care,
Tokobatela na boboto mpe na likebi nyonso,
The seed that thou hast sown
Mboto oyo yo moko olonaki
And trust to hear the world declare,
Mpe tozali na elikya ete mokili ekosakola,
God's prophet as its own
Mosakoli ya Nzambe lokola wa bango moko
