Mustafa jaan-e-rehmat pe lakhon salam, Jiske sadke mein ye kaaynaat hai saari.
For Hindi speakers, the vocabulary is a mix of:
On the Day of Judgment, when all of creation gathers, They will bow before him; millions of salutations upon him.
Dil ke dardon ki dawa unki yaad hai Mustafa, Har dawa se hai beparwaah, us pe lakhon salam.
In whose heart reside Makkah and Madinah (the holy cities), Millions of salutations upon that generous Prophet.
In the vast ocean of naat literature, few pieces have achieved the cross-cultural and cross-linguistic penetration of (مصطفى جانِ رحمت پے لاکھوں سلام). Often simply called "Lakhon Salam," this devotional poem is a staple in Mehfil-e-Naat (gatherings of praise) across the Indian subcontinent, from Karachi to Lucknow, and among the diaspora worldwide.
दिल के दर्दों की दवा उनकी याद है मुस्तफ़ा, हर दवा से है बेपरवाह, उस पे लाखों सलाम।
This verse resonates deeply with lay listeners. It shifts from grand cosmology to personal psychology. In a world of anxiety and grief ( dil ke dard ), the poet claims that Zikr (remembrance) of the Prophet is the ultimate remedy. The phrase "beparwaah" (careless/indifferent) means that once one tastes the sweetness of his remembrance, worldly cures lose their appeal.
