[Intro]
Tala’ al-badru ‘alayna
Min thaniyyatil wada’
Wajabash shukru ‘alayna
Ma da’a lillahi da’
There was merriment and joy
A smile on the face of every girl and boy
The streets of Yathrib welcomed in
The Prophet of Allah, Muhammad
Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam
[Verse 1]
A full white moon shone down upon the land
Rising from the valley between hills of sand
Being grateful to Allah was the Prophet’s demand
Spreading peace through the streets of Madinah
[Chorus]
Madinatun Nabi, Madinatun Nabi
The city of the Prophet is like home to me
I’ll travel through the world but I doubt that I will see
A city with such wonder as Madinah
[Verse 2]
Now the narrow winding roads are so full of history
Streets shake with the adhan from Masjidun Nabi
I feel the shadow of the Prophet gently cooling me
As I walk through the streets of Madinah

[Chorus]
Madinatun Nabi, Madinatun Nabi
The city of the Prophet is like home to me
I’ll travel through the world but I doubt that I will see
A city with such wonder as Madinah
[Verse 3]
A man who reads Qur’an ‘neath a date palm tree
And a smile from the child on the street selling tea
Enchant me with their beauty and their simplicity
As I walk through the streets of Madinah
[Chorus]
Madinatun Nabi, Madinatun Nabi
The city of the Prophet is like home to me
I’ll travel through the world but I doubt that I will see
A city with such wonder as Madinah
[Bridge]
Al Madinatul Munawwarah
O, enlightened ci-ity
Al Madinatul Munawwarah
Even in my sleep you call to me
[Verse 4]
Time has hurried by, time has travelled on so fast
And though wisdom and truth will always last
I wish, I wish, I wish that I could climb into the past
And live with the Prophet in Madinah
[Chorus]
Madinatun Nabi, Madinatun Nabi
The city of the Prophet is like home to me
I’ll travel through the world but I doubt that I will see
A city with such wonder as Madinah
Madinatun Nabi, Madinatun Nabi
The city of the Prophet is like home to me
I’ll travel through the world but I doubt that I will see
A city with such wonder as Madinah
[Outro]
My heart is never far from the home of the Ansar
And the city of the Prophet, Al Madinah
