Look inside your heart
Searching to your soul
He’s holding your hand
And catching your fall
Mashallah I see the light
Mashallah I see my mother smile
Oh Woh Oh
Allah Hu Akbar!
Allah!
Sees it all
Allah Hu Akbar!
He sees it all
He sees it all
For that I am strong
I’m so strong
Every road has its rough ride
Give your faith to Allah
And let it go
Respect all your sisters
And look out for the signs
And when you pray the path will then be shown
Mashallah I see the light
Mashallah I see my mother smile
Oh Woh Oh
Allah Hu Akbar!
Allah!
Sees it all
Sees it all
Yeah
Allah Hu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar
He sees it all
He sees it all
For that I am strong
I’m so strong

Searching to your soul

“I’m Alive” Lyrics:
You’re the reason my life’s worth living
You’re the reason I’m alive
I’d be lost without You
You’re the reason that I strive
You’re my destiny
You’re my reverie
You’re the reason that I breathe
You are all that I believe
Chorus:
Ilahi, ilahi, ilahi, Maula
(My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Master)
Ho malang mein
(Like a wandering mystic)
Zindagi ki raah chal chala
(I have set forth on this journey called life)
Hai Khuda ek tera mera
(One Creator for you and me)
Hai ek falsafa
(This is my philosophy [in life])
Pre-Chorus:
Khana’badosh hon
(I’m a nomad traveller)
Mein madhosh hon
(I’m lost in a trance)
Tere ishq mein
(In Your supreme love)
Mein sharaboor hon
(I am deeply submerged)
CHORUS
For so long I’ve been denying
But now I feel like I’m flying
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Now nothing seems impossible
With You I feel unstoppable
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS

“Ummati” Lyrics:
Shining bright you came to us
With a heart so full of love
And you showed that you’re
The one who cares the most
And to us you’ve always been so close
Everyone will say
Please save me
Except Al-Habib (the beloved)
Chorus:
أمتي، أمتي
Ummati, Ummati
(My nation, my nation)
يقولها لنا يوم القيامة
Yaquluha lana yawmal qiyamati
(He will say to us on the Day of Judgement)
أمتي، أمتي
Ummati, Ummati
(My nation, my nation)
يقولها شفاعة
Yaquluha shafa’atan
(He will say as an intercession)
أنا لها، أنا لها
Ana laha ana laha
(“I will do it, I will do it” [to intercede to God on behalf of his nation])
You have always sacrificed
Smiled with patience through the hard times
All you did inspired everyone you knew
Always selfless, striving for the truth
Everyone will say
Please save me
Except Al-Habib (the beloved)
CHORUS
Muhammadun
I’d give my heart and soul for you
Wish my eyes can see your face and be close to you
Coz in your guidance I find peace of mind indeed
No on else on that day can intercede

Mawlaya – Lyrics:
CHORUS
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abadan
‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abadan
‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Ya Rabbee salli ‘aleeh
Salawatu Allahi ‘aleeh
All the poetry ever written
Every verse and every line
All the love songs in the world
Every melody and rhyme
If they were combined
They would still be unable to express
What I want to define
When I try to describe my love for you
CHORUS
Every sound and every voice
In every language ever heard
Each drop of ink that has been used
To write every single word
They could never portray
Everything I feel in my heart and want to say
And it’s hard to explain
Why I could never describe my love for you
CHORUS
There’s not a single person
Who can ever match his worth
In character and beauty
To ever walk on earth
I envy every rock and tree
And every grain of sand
That embraced his noble feet
Or that kissed his blessed hands
Ya Rasool Allah
Ya Habiba Allah
Grant us the chance to be with him
We pray to You Allah

“Jannah” Lyrics:
I know that this life is only finite
The good and the bad times
Will all be left behind
As we make our way through this journey
To the finest place for infinity
Allah don’t deny me
Your Paradise
Chorus:
Jannah, Jannah
(Paradise, Paradise)
It’s all I ever wish for
This life is not eternal
But the next will last for ever
Jannah, Jannah
It’s all I ever wish for
O God please don’t deprive me
A blissful life eternally
Oh how I long for
The moment I see You Allah
And meet Muhammad (pbuh)
With all his companions
In the place no eye has ever seen
Filled with love, peace and tranquility
Don’t deny me Your Paradise
Chorus
One day all my deeds will be shown in front of You
No one will be beside me, I’ll be standing on my own
Blessing me with Your mercy is all I’m hoping for
O Allah make my wishes come true

lyrics:
I thought of this before over a million times
Who would’ve ever thought that it would be our time?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
It ain’t a selfish love, when I’m with you
You remind me of Allah, and so I know it’s true
I’ll just say it: you are the one
Chorus:
Won’t you be my BFF (best friend forever) and ever?
Won’t you be my partner after this world?
We’ll see it, when we believe it together
Dreams are meant to be, ’cause you’re the one for me
I never thought that I would ever feel this way
I ask Allah to bless you every single day
I’ll just say it, ’cause you’re the one
And when times are tough, and we’ve got the world to see
Standing right beside you is where I want to be
I just know it: you are the one
CHORUS
I prayed about this just over a million times
Who would ever thought that I could call you mine?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
And when there’s gray in our hair and we’ve not much to do
I want to spend the rest of my days with you…
Oh don’t you know it?
You are the one, you are the one
Oh won’t you be the one?

The Key:
In an album of search and struggle, The Key represents a source of obstruction.
We may feel imprisoned in this physical realm, but sometimes the easiest way to free

Lyrics :
In Andalucian morning light
In seas of azure, in dawning skies
I watch you bloom, the birth of spring
You are the song that all lovers sing
You are the key holding me in
I am a prisoner, I can’t escape
The key is inside the forms you take
You are the web I cannot spin
You are the pulse beneath my skin
You are the key holding me in
Your love is a door I cannot find
The only way out is from deep inside
I’m humbled by the light you take
When you cover every colour of the day
I’m brightened by the night you bring
You are the divine eternal ring
You are the end where everything begins
You are the key holding me in
I’m humbled by the light you take
When you cover every colour of the day
Illuminated in the night you bring
You are the divine eternal ring
You are the end where everything begins
You are the key holding me in
The only key holding me in

Lyrics:
We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oases
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought and couldn’t stop buying
We gave charity to the poor coz we couldn’t stand their crying
We thought we’d paid our dues
But in fact to ourselves we were just lying
Chorus:
I’m walking with my head lowered in shame for my place
I’m walking with my head lowered for my race
Yes, it’s easy to blame everything on the West
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves
We were told what to buy and we bought
We went to London, Paris, and Costa del Sol
We made sure we were seen in the most exclusive cafes and shops
Yes, we felt so very satisfied
We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honour
We didn’t have any time to lose
When we were so busy feeling so satisfied
Chorus
We became individuals without a soul
Despite the heat, our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness, we bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars and bling will make us satisfied
My dear brother and sister it’s time to change inside
Open your eyes, don’t throw away what’s right aside
Before the day comes when there’s no where to run or hide
Now ask yourself ’cause Allah is watching you: Is He satisfied?
Is Allah is satisfied?

DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.
Written by the Moroccan poet
Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century

Palestine – Lyrics:
After all this time
She’s still there waiting for me
And no matter what life throws next
She’s still there, so clear to see ,oh
Some might wonder what love is
Some might say it’s just a fantasy
Maybe once it did exist
But now is a part of history
So long gone
But my love is real
She’s the source of every long night’s dream
And before waking I give her my heart
Chorus:
Palestine you’re all that I need
You’re my life, the air that I breathe
Palestine you’re my heart and its key, oh
For you I’ll give, with you I am free
Forever free
Like a new born baby
I hold her close and keep her warm
For her I can face anything
And stand firm in the wildest storm, oh
And despite all the pain, all the hard times
I only love her more
And don’t you know she’s my heart and my soul?!
Chorus
They keep trying to separate us with their lies
And to cast doubt about our love
Trying to say we could never last
But don’t they know that our love is older than time?!

Palestine – Lyrics:
After all this time
She’s still there waiting for me
And no matter what life throws next
She’s still there, so clear to see ,oh
Some might wonder what love is
Some might say it’s just a fantasy
Maybe once it did exist
But now is a part of history
So long gone
But my love is real
She’s the source of every long night’s dream
And before waking I give her my heart
Chorus:
Palestine you’re all that I need
You’re my life, the air that I breathe
Palestine you’re my heart and its key, oh
For you I’ll give, with you I am free
Forever free
Like a new born baby
I hold her close and keep her warm
For her I can face anything
And stand firm in the wildest storm, oh
And despite all the pain, all the hard times
I only love her more
And don’t you know she’s my heart and my soul?!
Chorus
They keep trying to separate us with their lies
And to cast doubt about our love
Trying to say we could never last
But don’t they know that our love is older than time?!

Allahu – Lyrics:
Chorus:
Jahan bhi dekun Allahu
Har khayal har guftugu
Jahan bhi jaoon Allahu
Mileen mujhae har manzilaen
(Wherever I look Allah is there
In every thought and every conversation
Wherever I go Allah is there
I’ve reached my journey’s end)
I’ll keep on searching; I know I’ll find Him
He is beside me; He’s always close to my heart
Always in my heart; we are never far apart
I always think of Him when I feel I cannot go on
Chorus
I’ll keep on moving; with every step I take
I’ll feel Him closer; I’ll never lose my way
I always turn to Him when my faith is wearing thin
I always remember He is Al-Baseeru (the All-Seeing)
Chorus
I’ll keep on praying for Him to guide me
I won’t lose my patience, believers always come through
Always there for me, especially in my time of need
I raise my hands and I know He’s listening to me

Well I know it’s more than love now
Cause you mean everything
Hear you talking when you’re sleeping reality
Know you’re goin through hardship
And I know that you’re scared
But you don’t need to worry
Cause Allah is there
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
May Allah bless our way
And our intention
Stay pure every day
Be a better person
Open the gates to heaven
Guide us the way
Guide us the way
Day by day we’re getting old
And the stories that we’re told
As a kid I was listening listening
Always I’m listening listening
Somewhere a father of a child
With all the loving I provide
Children sleeping through the night the mother singing a lullaby
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost

Lyrics:
My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we’ve strayed from him and his way
My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
Let’s struggle, work, and pray
If we are to
Bring back the glory of his way
Ya Allah ya rabbal alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi
O Allah Lord of the Worlds
O Merciful and Beneficent
O my Lord
Let the Ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again
Let’s become whole again
Proud again
‘Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past
My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we strayed from him and his way
Look at where we were
And look at where we are
And tell me
Is this how he’d want it to be?
Oh no! Let us bring back our glory
ya allah ya rabbal alalmin
ya rahmano ya rahem
ya rabbi
let the ummah rise again
ya allah ya rabbal alalmin

let the ummah rise again

“By My Side” Lyrics:-
Sometimes I can’t see
Where I’m supposed to go
Sometimes I speed up,
When I should take it slow
But through all my hard times
When I lose my way
You’re concealing my mistakes, yeah!
Pre-Chorus:
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
Chorus:
When I’m out there in the darkest place
Worn and tired
I can still see You illuminate
All my skies
When it feels like I’ve fallen too far from You
There You, there You, there You are
Guiding me through
Whenever I feel down
You can lift me up
Turning my life around
With Your love
No matter how rough it gets
I can wear a smile
‘Cause Your mercy never dries
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS
Ain’t nobody, no no nobody
That knows me like You do
Ain’t nobody who makes me feel this way
Got no worries, no no worries
About anything
Cause I know You’re always there, oh

Lyrics:
It’s so hard to explain
What I’m feeling
But I guess it’s ok
Cause I’ll keep believing
There’s something deep inside
Something that’s calling
It’s calling you and I
It’s taking us up high
Healing, a simple act of kindness bring such meaning
A smile can change a life let’s start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Heal and you will be healed
Break every border
Give and you will receive
It’s nature’s order
There is a hidden force
Pulling us closer
It’s pulling you and I
It’s pulling us up high to…
Healing, a simple act of kindness brings such meaning
A smile can change a life lets start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Hearts in the hand of another heart and in God’s hand are all hearts
An eye takes care of another eye and from God’s eye nothing hides
Seek only to give and you’ll receive
So, heal and you will be healed

Sari Gelin:
Sari Gelin is a famous Azeri folk song hugely popular around the world, particularly in Turkey,
Azerbaijain and the Persian speaking countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan) as well as Uzbekistan,
Greece, Bosnia and Serbia to name just a few. There are many traditional versions of this hauntingly emotional melody.
This is our humble attempt at creating an English version of this beautiful love song
based loosely on translations from the original variations.

lyrics:
I fight for a love
Knowing it can’t be won
Sent from a light above
Child of our golden Sun
Sari Gelin
I reach for hands
Knowing they can’t be held
Cursed by words I can’t tell
Broken under your spell
Sari Gelin
And like a rose
Turning in to thorns
My love was taken
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun
Sari Gelin.
A beating drum
Searches on for your song
Echoes will carry on
Wondering where you’ve gone
Sari Gelin
Is that your voice
Caught in the mountain air?
Leading me to nowhere
Drifting in silent prayer
Sari Gelin
And like a rose
Turning in to thorns
My love was taken
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun
Sari Gelin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Bu sevda nə sevdadır Səni mənə verməzlər Neynim aman, aman Neynim aman, aman Sarı gəlin
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun

‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.
