    Tala’a Al-Badru ‘Alayna ’08

    (Arabic Words & Melody: Traditional
    English Lyrics by Yusuf Islam)

    Tala’al-badru ‘alayna
    Min thaniyyat il-wada’
    Wajaba al-shukru ‘alayna
    Ma da’a lillahi da’

    O the white moon rose over us
    from the valley of Wada
    And we owe it to show gratefulness
    Where the call is to Allah

    Ayyuha al-mab’uthu fina
    Ji’ta bi-al-amri al-muta’
    Ji’ta sharrafta al-madinah
    Marhaban ya khayra da’

    Salli ‘ala habeebika, Salli ‘ala nabiyyika
    Salli ‘ala rasulika, Salli ala el Mustafa

    O the white moon rose over us
    From the valley of Wada
    And we owe it to show gratefulness
    Where the call is to Allah

    O you who were raised amongst us
    Coming with a word to be obeyed
    You have brought to this city nobleness
    Welcome! Best caller to God’s way

    Salutations upon Your beloved, salutations upon Your Prophet
    Salutations upon Your Messenger, salutations upon The Chosen One
