notes-along-the-journey:

Ta’la al Badru ‘Alayna (Arabic: طلع البدر علينا) is a traditional Islamic song (Nasheed) that the Ansar sung to the Prophet Muhammad upon his arrival at Yathrib after completing the Hijra in 622 CE. The song is currently over 1400 years old, and one of the oldest in the Islamic culture.

طلع البدر علينا
Tala’ul Badru ‘Alayna
Oh the white moon rose over us

من ثنيات الوداع
Min thaniyatil wada
From the valley of Wada.

وجب الشكر علينا
Wajabal shukru ‘alayna
And we owe it to show gratefulness

ما دعى لله داع
Ma da’ali lahi da
Where the call is to Allah.

أيها المبعوث فينا
Ayuhal mab’uthu fina
Oh you who were raised among us

جئت بالأمر المطاع
Ji’ta bil amri muta
Coming with a word to be obeyed

جئت شرفت المدينة
Ji’ta sharaftal madinah
You have brought to this city nobleness

مرحبا يا خير داع
Marhaban ya khayra da
Welcome best caller to God’s way
