Ethiopian Youth Sending Praise on Prophet Muhammed (salla Allahu alehi wa salam)

"Allahumma Salli ala Muhammadan (Oh, Allah bless prophet Muhammed...RasulAllah (messenger of Allah)"

"Ya Sayidi" Qasida (lyric poem)

From Wikipedia: Qasida (also spelled qasidah), in Arabic: قصيدة, plural qasā'id, قــصــائـد; in Persian: قصیده (or چكامه, chakameh), is a form of lyric poetry that originated in pre-Islamic Arabia. Well known qasā'id include the Qasida Burda ("Poem of the Mantle") by Imam al-Busiri and Ibn Arabi's classic collection "The Interpreter of Desires".

The classic form of qasida maintains a single elaborate meter throughout the poem, and every line rhymes. It typically runs more than 50 lines, and sometimes more than 100. It was adopted by Persian poets, where it developed to be sometimes longer than 100 lines.

Tala Al Badru Alayna

From wikipedia:

Tala‘ al-Badru ‘Alaynā (Arabic: طلع البدر علينا) is a traditional Islamic song (Nasheed) that the Ansar sung to the Prophet Muhammad(May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) upon his arrival at Yathrib after completing the Hijra in 622 CE. The song is currently over 1400 years old, and one of the oldest in the Islamic culture.

Tala ‘al Badru ‘Alayna


Chorus:

Tala al badru ‘alayna
Min thaniyati-al Wada’
Wajaba Shukru ‘alayna
Ma da’a lillahi da’

O the white moon rose over us
From the valley of Wada’
And we owe it to show thankfulness
Where the call is to Allah

Ayyuha-al Mab’uthu feena
Ji’ta bi-al amru muta’
Ji’ta sharafta-al Madeenah
Marhaban ya khayra da’

O you, who were raised amongst us
Coming with the words to be obeyed
You have ennobled this city
Welcome O caller to God’s way
