Talaʽ al-Badru ʽAlaynā (Arabic: طلع البدر علينا) is a traditional Islamic poem known as nasheed that the men, women and children of the city of Yathrib (now known as Madinah) sang for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) upon his arrival into the city after taking refuge there after being forced to leave his hometown of Makkah.
The nasheed has been sung all over the world for over 1400 years and in 1995 Yusuf Islam was the first person to record and perform the song in Arabic and English.
(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’
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
