The Center


The Centre:
Just as the centre of a circle draws together all the radii surrounding it into unity, The Centre brings together all of the crucial elements of the spiritual journey. Putting aside self-centred doubt and ungratefulness we come to understand that the Here and Now is the doorway between the limited and the Infinite, between time and Eternity. To pass through this doorway is ‘To find the key to all existence.’

lyrics:
Why am I in this place torn asunder by blight?
Shorn by the blades of inequity, drowned by darkness,
Immersed in the turbid waters of negligence and forgetfulness?
Question not why, but understand this simple truth:
Here is the Centre that is the Centre of all wheres,
Now is the moment at the heart of all times.
Ask not why here and now
But be in the here and now
Here is the Centre that is the Centre of all wheres,
Now is the moment at the heart of all times
Ask not why here and now
But be in the here and now
To find the key to all existence

أعمال قد تنال استحسانك


Gathered here with my family
…My neighbours and my friends
Standing firm together against oppression holding hands
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
Or if you’re young, old, women or man
We’re here for the same reason; we want to take back our land
Oh God thank you..
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we’re here together
Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We know you’re here with us
No more being prisoners in our homes
No more being afraid to talk
Our dream is just to be free, just to be free
Now when we’ve taking our first step
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we’re almost there
Oh God thank you..
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we’re here together
Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
I can feel the pride in the air
And it makes me strong to see everyone
Standing together holding hands in unity
Shouting out loud demanding their right for freedom
…This is it and we’re not backing of
Oh God we know you hear our call
And we’re calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We’re calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall, ooh no
We know you’re here with us

Lyrics:
My life is not the same
When I’m too concerned by what they say
Why should I? When I have you
To doubt you would be the worst mistake
Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies
Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You
Trials of life upon me
Are more precious than diamonds and gold
Tested with fire I may be
But I know I’ll come out stronger in this world
Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies
Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You
I only want the things
You know is best for me
I’d gladly sacrifice
If that’s what you decree
I would break and
Mourn in eternity
Perish into the sea
If that’s what you want for me

Call My Name’s Lyrics :
Remember the time
when you and I were all alone
When we were so shy
now it feels so long ago
Whispered my name
soft as the falling snow
Close in my arms
promised I’d never let go
There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Remember the time
when everything moved so slow
As if that one night
was all that we’d ever know
I’m still there waiting
hoping your voice will show
(Cos) wherever you are
that is where I call home
There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
I’m right here
Beside you
I know you can’t see
Beloved
I’m waiting
For you to remember me

Allah Almighty – Ahmed Bukhatir


Lyrics: Irfan Makki & Bara Kherigi
Melody: Irfan Makki
Arrangement: Hamza Namira
…….
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

Eidun Mubarak – Maher Zain


When I learnt for the first time
I know my heart wasn’t prepared
For just how much You’d mean to me
But Allah, how I know now
That a life without You there
Is like a bird without its wings
You are The One

Always right there beside me
I’m so blessed You’re The One
In my life
Always right there to guide me
Giving me strength
You’re The One
Oh, oh, oh, oh

But I know that You’re The One
It’s the way that You turn mess
Into a beautiful message

Always right there to guide me
Giving me strength

Whenever I call out Your Name
Lift up my hands, bow down to pray

Lyrics:
You came to me
In that hour of need
When I was so lost
So lonely
You came to me
Took my breath away
Showed me the right way
The way to lead
You filled my heart with love
Showed me the light above
Now all I want
Is to be with you
You are my one true love
Taught me to never judge
Now all I want
Is to be with you
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyinda Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
You came to me
In a time of despair
I called on you
You were there
Without you
What would my life mean?
To not know the unseen
The worlds between
For you I’d sacrifice
For you I’d give my life
Anything…
Just to be with you
I feel so lost at times
By all the hurt and lies
Now all I want
Is to be with you
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyinda Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
Showed right from wrong
Taught me to be strong
Need you more than ever
Ya Rasul Allah
You came to me
In that hour of need
Need you more than ever

Showed me the light above

The Centre – Sami Yusuf


DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.
This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry
as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music
to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales.
Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated
as in an intricate conversation with one another.
Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision
and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words.
Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics),
Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics),
Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics).
Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra,
and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.

Lyrics:
Show me our way to return to him in peace
Show me a way and I’d be gone tomorrow
For there is only one way for you and me
Show me the way home
His character was a thing of beauty
One to be admired
And when I think of him
There’s a warm feeling deep inside
No one had conducts like him
And his enemies did agree
That he was known as the trusted one
Sent for you and me
The only time I feel happy
Is when he’s on my mind
When I think of his perfection
He was so merciful and kind
He’s a perfect example
Of the way we all should be
His mission was accomplished with grace
And he was sent for you and me
Have we forgotten the one who loves us the most?
Have we forgotten the pain and the sorrow?
He went through so much for us, so much don’t you know?
To show us the way home
If only I could be with him
Just for one day
Just to sit with him he could show me
The right way
In character in conducts and in body
And in mind
Nothing can compare to the master
Of mankind

Lyrics:
Show me our way to return to him in peace
Show me a way and I’d be gone tomorrow
For there is only one way for you and me
Show me the way home
His character was a thing of beauty
One to be admired
And when I think of him
There’s a warm feeling deep inside
No one had conducts like him
And his enemies did agree
That he was known as the trusted one
Sent for you and me
The only time I feel happy
Is when he’s on my mind
When I think of his perfection
He was so merciful and kind
He’s a perfect example
Of the way we all should be
His mission was accomplished with grace
And he was sent for you and me
Have we forgotten the one who loves us the most?
Have we forgotten the pain and the sorrow?
He went through so much for us, so much don’t you know?
To show us the way home
If only I could be with him
Just for one day
Just to sit with him he could show me
The right way
In character in conducts and in body
And in mind
Nothing can compare to the master
Of mankind

Lyrics:
ما زالَ الخيرُ ولن يُعدم
يجري داخِلَنا مجرى الدم
فلنتركْ أثراً في الدنيا
من يغرسْ خيراً لا يندم
يا الله
في هذا الصرحِ بنينا السّاس
يا الله
ليعمَّ الخيرُ لكُلِّ الناس
يا الله
ما أجملَهُ هذا الإحساس
يا الله يا الله
Ya Allah
We build it up, we set our base,
Ya Allah
Spread the love, every time and every place,
Ya Allah
Feel the joy, it’s all over the place,
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Values that make life so sweet,
Lift us up, make us complete.
Plant them deep for generations,
Enhancing minds across the nations

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
ourselves is to first free our minds. While The Key can keep us captive, it can also set us 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

Finally feel awake
Never gonna sit back and fade away
No more wasting my days
Wasting my days away

Lyrics:
What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me
My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity…
My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see…
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?
For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:
But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

Everyday is a lesson
And everything you do
Defines yourself
Now I know we all have good intentions
Different ways we have to cope with stress
But for me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
But for me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
Now I know you are kind of scared now
I can see it all in your face
For every trial and tribulation
There will be a save and grace
Allah will never burden
With more than you can bare
How can you reach the heavens
Without going through the test
For me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
For me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
I know the roads keep getting longer
And everytime you stop you losing faith
No
I know you have unanswered questions
But those are the ones
You need to solve yourself
But for me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
But for me its easy
Cause I know he sees me
Now I know you are kind of scared now
I can see it all in your face
For every trial and tribulation
There will be a save and grace
Allah will never burden
With more than you can bare
How can you reach the heavens
Without going through the test

كلمات العمل | Lyrics :
غيري بشر وقدر، ليش أنا ما أقدر،
دامي زيي زيو ما يملك عني قدره
أكبر غير انه حاول ما وقف واصل ولا أتأثر،
رمى الماضي من وراه رفض يتعثر،
وكم من واقع كان فيما سبق حلم كنت تتخيله
و ما جاتك جرأه تخليه يتحقق،
كانت فكره و الآن تطبق علم،
اكيد تتحسر دامك خليت خيالك يتعتق
صَبْراً جَمِيلاً ما أقربَ الفَرَجَا … من رَاقَبَ اللَّهَ فِي الأمورِ نَجَا
منْ صدق الله لم ينلهُ أذى … ومن يرجَاهُ يكونُ حيثُ رَجَا
life is tuff tuff,
you better stand on your feet now. make it ruff ruff,
never get on you knees down. keep your head up,
let them know that you are the one whose flawless,
spread love, sing the chorus loud.
فكرة التحليل كانت من خيال و أنبنى من كوبين و خيط مبدأ الإتصال،
وأجمل سنفونيه عزفت من من؟ ها؟ أجمل سنفونيه عزفت من شخص أصم،
أبحروا بفكرهم و بفكرنا من عدم، إش الفرق إلي بيننا و بينهم؟ لهم عقلين؟ لا!،
أبصروا بالعقل و إحنا أبصرنا بالعين، راح أكمل هدفي على خطاهم و راح أتصدر

I DREAM FOR A DAY
WHEN THERE’LL BE

FIGHTING MAKES NO SENSE
JUST A LITTLE FAITH TO MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE
WE’RE HERE FOR A DAY OR TWO
