The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
It does oscillate. We have to use the word 'vibration' if the amplitude of oscillation is very very low. The prong of a fork vibrates. But simply pendulum oscillates.
A simple harmonic motion is one for which the acceleration of the body into consideration is proportional its displacement from the mean position and the direction of the acceleration is always directed towards that mean position. It can be shown that, provided that the amplitude of oscillation is small, the motion of a simple pendulum is simple harmonic. All simple harmonic motions follow one rule F=-kx . When the oscillation is small(around 5 °), the motion of simple pendulum is simple harmonic motion.
If the plumb point of a pendulum is the center of earth, the pendulum will make diametrical oscillations
TO AND FRO MOTION It is the motion in which a body moves in fro and to directions. EXAMPLE Motion of simple pendulum

A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves

A pendulum moves in simple harmonic motion. If a graph of the pendulum's motion is drawn with respect with respect to time, the graph will be a sine wave. Pure tones are experienced when the eardrum moves in simple harmonic motion. In these cases "wave" refers not to the thing moving, but to the graph representing the movement.
