An original piano and orchestra work based on a traditional Islamic song that welcomed the prophet Muhammad upon his arrival at Yathrib after completing the migration journey "Hijra" in 622. The ancient song "Tala Al Badru Alayna - طلع البدر علينا" is currently over 1400 years old, and one of the oldest in the Islamic culture. The Lyrics: طلع البدر علينا The full moon rose over us من ثنيات الوداع From the valley of Wada'‘ وجب الشكر علينا And it is incumbent upon us to show gratitude ما دعى لله داع For as long as anyone in existence calls out to God أيها المبعوث فينا Oh our Messenger (Emissary) amongst us جئت بالأمر المطاع Who comes with the exhortations (injunctions/commandments) to be heeded جئت شرفت المدينة You have brought to this city nobility مرحبا يا خير داع Welcome you who call us to a good way
