Tala'al Badru Alayna - Khaled Siddiq

طَلَعَ الْبَدْرُ عَلَيْنَا

(Tala‘ al-badru ‘alaynā

Oh the white moon rose over us)

مِنْ ثَنِيَاتِ الْوَدَاعْ

(Min thanīyātil-wadā‘

From the valley of al-Wadā‘.)

وَجَبَ الشُّكْرُ عَليْنَا

(Wajab al-shukru ‘alaynā

And we owe it to show gratefulness)

مَادَعَى لِلّٰهِ دَاعْ

(Mā da‘á lillāhi dā‘

Where the call is to Allah.)

They sang this song when You came to town

How I wish that You were around

How I wish that You would show about my door

When I would cry until I tell You how

trynna follow what You’ve left for me

I’ve been trying so carefully

I know the Lord, He is testing me

to see if I am what I said to be

follw Your way and I know I’ll be right

Day in and day out the rest of my life

people, my city, they’re searching for light

Ya Nabi

I will be making it bright now

until tbe day I die

اَيُّهَا الْمَبْعُوْثُ فِيْنَا

(Ayyuhal mab‘ūthu fīnā

Oh you who were raised among us)

جِئْتَ بِالْاَمْر الْمُطَاعاَ

(Ji'ta bil-amri al-mutā‘>

Coming with a word to be obeyed)

جئت شَرَّفْتَ الْمَدِيْنَة

(Ji'ta sharaft al-madīnah

You have brought to this city nobleness)

مَرْحَبًايَاخَيْرَادَاع

(Marḥaban yā khayra dā‘

Welcome best caller to God’s way)

When I saw His light shining forth in fear

I covered my eyes with palms

afraid from my sight because of the beauty of it’s form

so I was scarely able to look at Him at all

and His face shines out like the sun and the moon in one

tell me, how can I live a life

where I can be right by You’r side

in Heaven one day! I pray, I pray

cause sometime I get down

and my faith feels so low

I’m rollin' around of my side of town

just searching for hope

oh but one thing I know

I will hold on your rope

I know the progress feels slow

but it’s the only way to grow

to all my brothers and my sisters

imagine the day

if Rasulullah (SAW) came to us

we would say …

طَلَعَ الْبَدْرُ عَلَيْنَا

(Tala‘ al-badru ‘alaynā

Oh the white moon rose over us)

مِنْ ثَنِيَاتِ الْوَدَاعْ

(Min thanīyātil-wadā‘

From the valley of al-Wadā‘.)

وَجَبَ الشُّكْرُ عَليْنَا

(Wajab al-shukru ‘alaynā

And we owe it to show gratefulness)

مَادَعَى لِلّٰهِ دَاعْ

(Mā da‘á lillāhi dā‘

Where the call is to Allah.)
