A Qawwali wrote in Praise of the Prophet ﷺ, sung by the Sabri Brothers. The chorus was wrote by Hafez Shirazi (I’m not too sure about if he wrote the whole poem).

Link to the beautiful translation:

Khawaja Shams al-Dīn Muhammad Hafez, (born 1325/26, Shiraz, Iran—died 1389/90, Shiraz) was one of the most famous poets in Iranian history.

Hafez received a classical religious education, lectured on Qur’anic and other theological subjects (“Hafez” designates one who has learned the Qur’an by heart), and wrote commentaries on religious classics. As a court poet, he enjoyed the patronage of several rulers of Shiraz.

About 1368–69 Hafez fell out of favour at the court and did not regain his position until 20 years later, just before his death. In his poetry there are many echoes of historical events as well as biographical descriptions and details of life in Shiraz.

One of the guiding principles of his life was Sufism, the Islamic mystical movement that demanded of its adherents complete devotion to the pursuit of union with the ultimate reality.

Hafez passed away in 1390, in Shiraz at the age of 64-65. May Allah ﷻ have mercy on him and raise his rank. Al-Fatiha for his soul.
