Tala ‘al badru ‘alaynaa,
min thaniyyaatil wadaa’
Wajabash shukru ‘alaynaa,
maa da’aa liLlaahi daa’
طَلَعَ الْبَدْرُ عَلَيْنَا
مِنْ ثَنِيَّاتِ الْوَدَاعْ
وَجَبَ الشُّكْرُ عَلَيْنَا
مَا دَعَا لِلّٰهِ دَاعْ
The full moon rose over us,
from the Valley of Wada
(ancient place where people would bid farewell to travellers)
Gratitude is incumbent upon us,
so long as the caller calls
أَيُّهَا الْمَبْعُوثُ فِينَا
جِئْتَ بِالْأَمْرِ الْمُطَاعْ
جِئْتَ شَرَّفْتَ الْمَدِينَةْ
مَرْحَباً يَا خَيْرَ دَاعْ
-Ayyuhal mab’oothu finaa,
ji-ta bil-amril mutaa’
Ji-ta sharraftal Madinah,
marHaban yaa khayra daa’
You who were sent amongst us,
coming with a command to be obeyed
You have honoured the city,
so welcome, best of callers!
