ز عشقت آنچنان مستم که دیگر خود نمی دانم

در این دیر پر از محنت بسی سختی پذیرفتم

‘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.

Lyrics :
I know how it feels to lose everything
Everything, oh
I have faced a wall
So high above the ground
I’ve dreamt for hours and hours
About the day, about the day
When I can say that nothing can hold me down
I will fight through all the pain
It’s a journey I will make
You can try
But you will never break this heart of mine again
Chorus:
Sometimes it feels like freedom is far away
But I know, yes I know
I will break all the chains, yeah
Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever change
But I know, yes I know
I will break all the chains
You wanna tear me apart but I am strong
I am strong
No matter how hard you try
I’ll never you let you see my tears
I’ve finally found the place where I belong
I belong
I’ll rise beyond and soar above my fears
I will fight through all the pain
It’s a journey I will make
You can try
But you will never break this heart of mine again
CHORUS
It’s not easy I know
Just gotta let it go
I will forgive, I will forgive
With all my heart and soul
God has given me
The courage that I need
So I can live, I can live
With honor and dignity
‘Cause I am free
Yes I am free

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?
Chorus

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?

Let us not forget
Who we are, whence we came, where we shall go.
Let us not forget
We have now fallen and forgotten who we are.
Wandering on earth with no compass in hand.
But we can remember, we can remember.
Let us not forget that although cast in this lowly world
Let us not forget
Although blinded by veils of neglect and heedlessness.
We are placed here on earth to remember
To remember who we really are as we make this journey of earthly life.
To remember who we really are as we make this journey of earthly life.

You lift me up high,
You spread my wings,
And fly me to the sky,
I feel so alive,
It’s like my soul thrives in your light,
But how I wish you’d be,
Here with me all year around,
Ramadan Ramadan,
Ramadanu ya habib,
Ramadan Ramadan
Laytaka dawman qareeb,
Love is everywhere,
So much peace fills up the air,
Ramadan month of the Quran,
I feel it inside of me,
strengthening my Iman,
But how I wish you’d be Here with me all year around,
Ramadan Ramadan,
Ramadanu ya habib,
Ramadan Ramadan
Laytaka dawman qareeb,
I just love the way you make me feel,
Every time you come around you,
breathe life into my soul,
And I promise that,
I’ll try throughout the year,
To keep your spirit alive In my heart, it never dies,
Oh Ramadan!,
Ramadan Ramadan,
Ramadanu ya habib,
Ramadan Ramadan
Laytaka dawman qareeb,
Laytaka dawman qareeb.
You lift me up high,

YOU ARE THE HOPE FOR OUR GLOBE
DON’T GIVE UP NOR DESPAIR
THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN’T REPAIR
YOU CAN CHANGE THIS WORLD TO A BETTER WORLD

DO NOT HARM ME, I AM YOUR TRUTH
DO NOT KILL ME, FOR I’M YOUR YOUTH
I AM YOUR HOPE, I AM YOUR TRUTH
I’M YOUR FAITH, I’M YOUR YOUTH

بالقول والعمل ، أنتم الأمل
BILQAWLI WALAMAL, ANTUMUL-AMAL
WITH WORDS AND ACTION, YOU ARE THE HOPE
سلمهم يارب , سلمهم يارب
SALIMHUM YA RABB, SALIMHUM YA RABB
GRANT THEM PEACE OH LORD, GRANT THEM PEACE OH LORD

BIL-ILMI WAL-QALAM, YUDFA’U-L’ALAM
THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND THE MIGHT OF THE PEN, PAIN WILL BE PUSHED ASIDE
لآ تَنسَني أنآ ضَميرك

“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

“Freedom” Lyrics:-
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, woman or man
We’re here for the same reason
We want to take back our land
Chorus:
O 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, oh
We’re calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know You won’t let us fall, oh
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 taken our first step
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer
We’re almost there
CHORUS
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 off!
O God we know You hear our call
CHORUS
Freedom, freedom, freedom, ooh
