TO ALL RELATIONS - TALA’AL BADRU ALAYNA   

music, lyrics - Nobuko Miyamoto; traditional

To all relations, mother earth and father sky

To all relations, every nation, every tribe

Every family, every stranger, every friend and every foe

Every form and every creature…to all relations

’ayyuha 'l-mab‘ūthu fīnā Oh our messenger is among us

ji’ta bi-l-’amri 'l-muṭā‘ Who comes with the exhortations to be heeded

ji’ta sharrafta 'l-madīnah You have brought to this city nobility

marḥaban yā khayra dā‘ Welcome you who call us to a good way

ṭala‘a 'l-badru ‘alaynā The full moon rose over us

min thaniyyāti 'l-wadā‘ From the valley of Wada‘

wajaba 'l-shukru ‘alaynā And it is incumbent upon us to show

mā da‘ā li-l-lāhi dā‘a For as long as anyone in existence calls out to Allah

Mitakuye Oyasin…to all relations

Shalom, heiwa, paz, salaam alaikum… Peace…
