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
