Tala'al Badru - Native Deen

Welcome, best caller to God’s way

With a word to be obeyed tala

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 it be the one sent by Allah?

He shouts, «Here comes the prophet!»

His face is a light that drives out the darkness

Words are alive — his message is living

Joy everywhere, our voices are singing

He steps and reaches to touch

This man who suffered so much

His own troubles could not compare

To the Prophet scorned 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

Radiance that spreads out for miles

Embraces his hand with kindness and care

His heart sings out for all those to hear!

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 Prophets face he had seen

He remembers then the tradition

In a dream it truly will be him

Allah, oh what a feeling

So many years he followed his teachings

And this is greatest time in his life

He prays to Allah and sings through the night

Welcome, best caller to God’s way

With a word to be obeyed

Like a bright moon in the valley of darkness we lay
