Lyrics

طلع البدر علينا من ثنيات الوداع وجب الشكر علينا ما دعا لله داع أيها المبعوث فينا جئت بالأمر المطاع جئت شرفت المدينة مرحبا يا خير داع His eyes slowly rising sunrise warms the horizon sand dunes form in the distance he's up and out in an instant the crowd they all were waiting watching and anticipating a man appears from afar could he be the one sent by Allah he shouts here comes the prophet his face is the light that dries out the darkness words are alive his message is living joy everywhere our voices are singing طلع البدر علينا من ثنيات الوداع وجب الشكر علينا ما دعا لله داع أيها المبعوث فينا جئت بالأمر المطاع جئت شرفت المدينة مرحبا يا خير داع he steps and reaches to touch this man who suffered so much his own troubles could not compare to the prophets gone everywhere he was shunned away by his own kin ridiculed and stoned by the townsmen his blood was shed for the truth but never was he vengeful or rude then the prophet turns and he smiles radiates and spreads out for miles embraces his hand with kindness and care his heart sings out for all those to hear طلع البدر علينا من ثنيات الوداع وجب الشكر علينا ما دعا لله داع أيها المبعوث فينا جئت بالأمر المطاع جئت شرفت المدينة مرحبا يا خير داع wakes up alarm clock is ringing moonlight the sun hasn't risen faint sounds of cars on the street but inside his heart he feels peace he starts recalling his dream the prophet's face he had seen he remembers then the tradition in a dream it truly will be him Allah what a feeling so many years he followed his teachings and this is the greatest time in his life he prays to Allah and sings through the night طلع البدر علينا من ثنيات الوداع وجب الشكر علينا ما دعا لله داع أيها المبعوث فينا جئت بالأمر المطاع جئت شرفت المدينة مرحبا يا خير داع welcome let's call her to God's way with the word to be obeyed like a bright moon in the valley of darkness we lay let's call her to God's way with the word to be obeyed like a bright moon in the valley of darkness we lay welcome let's call her to God's way welcome let's call her to God's way يا رسول الله
