Lyrics

Tala'al badru ‘alayna
Min thaniyyatil wada'
Wajaba shukru ‘alayna
Ma da'a lillahi daa'
Ma da'a lillahi daa'

[Verse 1]
Oh the bright moon rose over us
From the valley of Wada'
And we owe it
To show all our gratefulness
When the call is for us all!
When the call is for us all!

[Chorus]
Ayyuhal mab'uthu feena
Ji'ta bil amril mutaa'
Ji'ta sharraftal Madinah
Marhaban ya khaira daa'
Marhaban ya khaira daa'

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Anta shamsun anta qamarun
Anta nourun ‘ala nour
Anta misbahus suduri
Ya habibi, ya Rasul
Ya habibi, ya Rasul

[Chorus]
Tala'al badru ‘alayna
Min thaniyyatil wada'
You have brought to this city nobleness
Welcome best caller to the way!
Welcome best

[Outro]
Caller to the way!
