© Dawud Wharnsby - Madina Tun Nabi (lyrics in description)

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 `alaihi was salam.

A full, white moon,
shone down upon the land,
rising from the valley between hills of sand.
Being greatful to Allah was the Prophet's demand,
spreading peace through the streets of Madinah.

Madinah tun-Nabi, Madinah tun-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.

Now the narrow winding roads,
are so full of history;
Streets shake with the Azan from Masjid-Un-Nabi.
I feel the shadow of the Prophet gently cooling me
as I walk through the streets of Madinah.

Madinah tun-Nabi, Madinah tun-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.

The 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.

Al-Madinahtul-Munawarah
Oh, Enlightened City!
Al-Madinahtul-Munawarah
Even in my sleep you call to me.

Time, has hurried by, time has traveled 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.

Madinah tun-Nabi, Madinah tun-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.

My heart is never far from the home of the Ansar,
and the city of The Prophet, Al Medinah.

well shadow in this poem doesn't have literal meaning. it is used metaphorically..

shadow implies what Prophet (S.A.W) brought to Madinah along with him: Islam, peace, harmony, Muhajir Ansar brotherhood etc.

at least this is what i understand!

@neenee0929 Not everything is to be taken literally. Certain metaphors are there for poetical purposes. Also, the prophet probably did have a shadow. He was a human being like the rest of us. Please.
