Nasimi
The lyrics of this song come from the poetry of the 14th century mystical poet Nasimi, who was one of the first literary figures to compose in Azerbaijani. The composer sets an ecstatic mood in this new piece in Shur mugham that evokes Sufi ceremonies through high-energy percussion and dazzling avaz sections. The musical narrative is majestic, powerful, and intensely beautiful.

Pearl:
As an album ‘The Centre’ takes us through a spiritual journey. ‘The Pearl’ is at the heart of this journey,
the hidden beauty that is revealed once we peel back these layers of self discovery.
Lying in darkness at the bottom of a deep ocean, protected by a hard shell,
The Pearl is waiting for anyone with the determination and patience to find it.

lyrics:
I spent a thousand sleepless nights
In wait of dreams I could not find
I walked a thousand empty roads
In search of signs to bring me home
With every breath I spoke your name
And heard it rolling in the waves
Beneath a veil of ocean blue
I broke illusion from the truth
You said, walk to me and I’ll find you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you
Music
And from the pulse beneath my skin
You called me to a source within
Where every layer revealed one more
A secret brighter than before
And at the heart there lay just one
The root of all that I’d become
I watched the surface start to break
Free of form, free of shape.
You said, walk to me and I’ll run to you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you.

Pearl ( The Centre Album ) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Lyrics:
Vakit bir akşam
Halim perişan
Şarkılarda gam
Gözlerimde kan
Ruhumu saran
Bitmeyen tufan
Hasretinle bu
Dünya bir zindan
Olsa da hükmün
Hakkımda idam
Vazgeçmem bir an
Sığındığım liman
Gönlümde iman
Karanlık dünyada
Işığım Kuran
Kurtar kederden
Yoruldum dertten
Kanayan yarama
Sensin tek merhem
Vazgeçmem Sen’den
I am driftwood now
I am homeward bound
Pull me from the sea
Save what’s left of me
Kurtar kederden
Yoruldum dertten
Kanayan yarama
Sensin tek merhem
Vazgeçmem Sen’den
So forgive my wrongs

I’ve reached my journey’s end)

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)

LYRICS
Nightshade blooming in my garden
Love I found on my way
Taking root when all was darkened
Scarred in me always
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land
In my mornings, waves have taken
What I thought was there
I left you in time forsaken
(With) flowers in your hair
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land

Sevirəm səni.
Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.
Əgər qismətim olarsan,

Lyrics:
(Translation and transliteration):
Zehaal-e-miskeen makun taghaaful, Daraye naina banaye battiyan.
Do not overlook my misery, by blandishing your eyes and weaving tales,
Ke taab-e-hijran nadaaramay jaan, Na leho kaahe lagaaye chattiyan.
My patience has over-brimmed, O sweetheart!
why do you not take me to your bosom.
Shabaan-e-hijraan daraaz chuuzulf, Woroz-e-waslatu cho umr koutaah.
Long like curls in the night of separation short like life on the day of
our union.
Sakhi piya ko jo maina dekhun, To kaise kaatun andheri rattiyan.
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night without your face
before.
Yakayakaz dil do chashm-e-jaadu, Basadfarepham beburd taskeen.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks the enchanting eyes robbed me of my tranquil mind.
Kisay padi hai jo ja sunaaye, Piyare pee ko hamari battiyan,
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling.
Chushamma sozan chuzarra hairaan, zamehere aapme
baghashtamaakhir
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle, I roam about in the
fire of love.
Naneend naina nayang chainaa, Nayaap aayen nabhejen pattiyan,
Sleepless eyes, restless body, neither comes she, nor any message.

Mawlaya – Lyrics:
Bu yürek hep senle varolur yalniz senle coşar
Dile gelse tüm şiirler söylenmemiş şarkilar
Yine bendeki aşki anlatamazlar asla
Senden uzak olan gönüller dolar yasla
Sen aldığım nefes duyduğum ses aşk-i heves
Sensiz karanliklar aydinliğa eremez
İki cihanda sensin alemler efendisi
Şefaat eyle asla yalniz birakma bizi
Sen beklenen müjdelenen en kutlu peygamber
Sen merhamet ve şefkatinle bizlere rehber
Aşkinla hep çarpan yürekler nuruna muhtaç
Sen ruhlarin tabibi gönüllere ilaç
Ya resulallah
Ya habiballah

“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

والباقي

أنا المحسوسُ
I am the perceived
والموهومُ

يا حي، يا حي
O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living
فلا عينٌ
Neither eye

but the secret
آماقي
of the inner being,
ولا أجلٌ
Neither limited by death
ولا عمرٌ

ولا فانٍ
there is nothing perishable
ولا باقي
nor enduring.
يا حي، يا حي
O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living
عندما أشرقت الشمس من أعماق الماء الأسود
When the sun rises from the depths of black water
يمكنك سماعها شيئًا فشيئًا، لا إله إلا الله
Listen carefully, from particle to particle, “there is no real but the Real”.
لا اله الا الله
“there is no real but the Real”.
ومن الماء والطين خرج ضباب قلب الإنسان مثل آدم
When the moon of the heart arose from water and clay, like Adam,
نزلت في البئر مائة شمس مثل يوسف.
A hundred suns descended into the well like Joseph.
نزلت في البئر
descended into the well
لقد اطفأته من الآن سأصمت، لأنه في صمتي،
From now on I will be silent, for in my silence,
سيتم فصل الحق عن الباطل، كما ينفصل الحب عن القش.
Truth and falsehood shall be separated, just like grain from straw.
كما ينفصل الحب عن القش.
just like grain from straw.
أنا الموجود

From now on I will be silent,
آه والراقي
and the exalted,
سيتم فصل الحق عن الباطل،
Truth and falsehood shall be separated,
أقبل الساقي علينا
The cupbearer came to us,
قدم الكأس إلينا
presented us with the cup,
فاحتسينا وارتوينا
And so we drank our fill,
من كؤوس الهاشمية
From the cup of generosity.

Jaaneh Jaanaan:
Jaaneh Jaanaan resonates with the tones of a tradition of divine love poetry in Persian
that has resounded through the hearts of lovers for a millennium. Jaaneh Jaanaan is
an intimate conversation with the true Beloved, whom the bewildered poet sees everywhere.
He sings of earthly beauty, of the spiritual guide, and of the Divine Beloved Himself,
for all true love is ultimately love of the Divine.

Lyrics :
ای که یادت از همه پیر و جوان دل می رباید
(O You whose thought seizes the heart of the young and old)
به هوای کوی تو هر لحظه دل پر می گشاید
(In your midst, the hearts takes flight at every moment)
هم امید قلبی، هم پناه جانی
(You are the hope in hearts; the shelter of lives;)
نور مطلق زمین و آسمانی، جلوه زیبایی های بی کرانی
(The eternal light of the heavens and the earth, and the face of infinite beauty)
تو شدی دنیای من، رویای من، ای جان جانان
(You have become my world, my dream, my Beloved!)
رود از چشمان من اشکم به یادت همچو باران
(Tears stream down from my eyes when I linger in thought of You)
با تو در امانم، ای امید جانم، بی تو بی پناه و بی نام و نشانم
(I am at safety with You, o desire of my soul, I have no home nor name without You)
بی تو در تاریکی ام راهی ندانم
(I am in darkness without You, ignorant of any direction (to take))
تا نفس در سینه دارم اسم تو ورد زبانم
(Your name will never leave my tongue till I am alive)
عطر دل خواه و شمیم عشق تو آرام جانم
(Your loving and desirous fragrance settles my heart)
نور بی کرانی، لطف جاودانی، من گنهکارم ولی تو مهربانی
(You are boundless light, eternal grace, I’m a sinner but You are The Most Kind)
بهر قلب عاشقان، نام و نشانی
(You are a signpost for the lovers’ hearts)
بی تو ای آرام جان، ای مهربان، تنهاترینم
(Without You, o the One who puts my heart at rest, I would be the loneliest soul in this world)
تا ابد در کوی تو عاشق ترین فرد زمینم
(Till eternity, I will be Your most enraptured lover in this world)
یاد تو، توانم، جز تو من ندانم
(I can only be in thought of You as I know naught but You)
بی تو بی پناه و بی نام و نشانم، بی تو در تاریکی ام راهی ندانم
(O object of my everlasting desire, the reason for the peace of my heart and mind.)

Nasimi – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.

Lyrics:
(Translation and transliteration):
Teri meri dastaan
Maa ki dhadkan se hui shuru
Dhoondhthi rahi
Teri nishaani
Mil gayi har jagah
mujhe pukarthi
Mere rooh ki aabroo
Mere nabz ki junoon
Khoon mein samatha
Oh Rabba ye
Sangeeth mera…sangeeth mera…Sangeeth mera
Sangeeth mera…
Raag bani tu baarish ki boondhon se
Dhun nikli tu hawa ke jhonkon mein
Taal sikhayi tu Aag ki tadpthi Lau se
Sur nikli tu Koyal ki Har geet mein
Basthe ho tum
Khilthi hui hassi mein
Dhabi hui aahon mein
Chootathi pasino mein
Mohabbat ki raah mein
Jaadu hain Nasha hain tu
Sangeeth mera…Sangeeth mera
Saare zamane ki ek zabaan tu
Aur Duniyan ki ekta hain tu
Mere lafzo ki bayaan bhi tu
Har taraf sirf tu hi tu
Mere rooh ki aabroo
Mere nabz ki junoon
Khoon mein samatha
Oh Rabba ye

Lyrics:
IT’S A GAME, THAT THEY PLAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHERE ARE YOU IN MY DREAMS?
YOU FEEL SO CLOSE BUT SO FAR
WHEN ALL I WANT IS TO SEE
YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME
YOU MAKE ME CHASE AROUND
SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT
ONLY FOR THE SUNRISE
TO OPEN MY EYES
MAKES ME JUMP TO MY FEET
WALK AROUND THE CITY STREETS
HOPING THAT I’LL FIND YOU
BY MY SIDE.
THEN I FEEL YOUR SUNLIGHT
BEAUTIFUL AND SO BRIGHT
FEELING I’M IN YOUR ARMS
FOR A WHILE
HOURS PASS LIKE A BREEZE
MOVING THROUGH THE PALM TREES
HAND IN HAND YOU AND ME
WITH YOUR SMILE
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
(TURKISH)
SEN BENİM NAZLI YARİMSİN
YOU, MY DELICATE BELOVED
SEN BENİM GÖZBEBEĞİMSİN
YOU, THE LIGHT OF MY EYE
SANA GÖNÜLDEN BAĞLANMIŞIM BEN
TIED TO YOU, AT THE HEART
SEN SEVDİĞİM SEVDİCEĞİM
YOU ARE MY DEEPEST LOVE, MY BELOVED
BEN SENİ BİR GÜL GİBİ KOKLARIM
INHALING YOUR SCENT, JUST LIKE SMELLING A ROSE
AŞKINLA TUTUŞUR AŞKINLA YANARIM
BURNING INSIDE, WITH THE FIRE OF YOUR LOVE
HEP SENİ ARAR SENİ SORARIM
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR, AND ASK OF YOU
SANA VARMAK İÇİN HAYAL KURARIM
ALWAYS DREAM OF REACHING YOU
(URDU)
تیرا تصور میرا ہی سکوں ھے
TERA TASAWUR MERA HE SAKOON HAI
THE VERY MENTION OF YOU BECOMES MY TRANQUILITY
تیرا نام لینا میرا ھے جنوں
TERA NAM LEANA MERA HAI JANOON
TO TAKE YOUR NAME, IT BECOMES MY SANITY
وہ میٹھی باتیں تیری ھی سنوں میں
WOH METEE BATEIN TEREE HEE SOONOO MEIN
THOSE SWEET CONVERSATION OF YOURS I WOULD LISTEN TOO
دنیا برا مانے تو میں کیا کروں؟
DUNIYAH BOORA MAA NE THO MEIN KYA KAROO?
IF THE WORLD DEEMS THEM OFFENSIVE, WHAT DO I CARE?
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY

THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE LIKE THE AIR WITH WHICH I BREATHE
SO LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
IT’S THE SAME GAME THEY ALWAYS PLAY
I’LL TURN MY EARS THE OTHER WAY,
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE EITHER WAY
IT’S A GAME THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY
LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME
THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY

It’s A Game – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Meherban wo kaun hai
Kya unchi shan hai
Uskey sab nishan hai
Sab dilon ki jan hai
Affeder günahı
Alemin padişahı
Yüreklerin felahı
İşit Allah derdimi bu ahlarımı

Lyrics:
Pyar Se Jag Roshan Hai – The World is Lightened with love
Nachay Jogi Jogan Hai – Dancing ascetic lovers
Dhadkanon Mein bas Ja , Jhoom Ja – Stay in Heartbeats and enjoy
Ishq Mast kalandar Hai – Love is Crazy
Dil Jalon Ka Samundar Hai – it’s a sea of Lovers.
Tor(d) Kay Rasmon Ko , Doob Jaa – Break all the rituals and sink in it.
Chahaton Ki Ye Sargam , Ab Dagar Dagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of love place to place.
Kabhi Payalon Ki Chan Chan – sometimes the sound of athletes
Chudion Ki Khan Khan – the sound of bangles.
Is Bheedmein pyari se koi , aati Hai Ye Sada – In This crowd a lovely Echo

Khudaya Ve Khudaya Ve
Khuda Ve Khuda Ve
Nor-e-Khuda
Ye Jahan ab Tera Hai – this world is now your’s
Qurbaton Ka Mela Hai – it’s a fun land of peace
Ulfaton ka is mein , hai Mazaa – it’s a joy of love
Sham Ye Mastani Hai – this evening is wonderful
Zindagi Dewani Hai – life is crazy
Bekhudi Ka is mein , hai Nashaa – it’s an addict of love
Aashiqon Ki Ye Sargam , Ab nagar nagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of lovers place to place.
Kahen Dhol Bajay Hai Dham Dham – somewhere drums playing
barishon ki ye cham cham – sounds of rain.
Is Bheer(d) mein pyari se koi , aati Hai Ye Sada – In This crowd a lovely Echo
came up
