Search harder! Then you will find the answer in http://steck.us/alkalidata/

I looked at data tables , but there was nothing about sodium spectrum :(
 
See tables 3 and 4 for the wavelengths in air for the sodium D1 and D2 lines.

When you say, "I googled for it but nothing came up," what do you mean? When I typed "sodium d lines" into Google, the very first entry was a Wikipedia page with the wavelength of the sodium D1 and D2 lines. What did you type in?
