Lyrics:
(ENGLISH)
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
WITH YOUR SOULS, WITH YOUR SOULS
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
(ARABIC)
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
بِالعِلم و القَلم، يُدفَع الألَم
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
LA TANSANI ANA DHAMEERUK
DON’T FORGET ME FOR I’M YOUR CONSCIENCE
لآ تُؤذِني أنآ شبآبك
LA TU’DHINI ANA SHABABUK

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.)

Lyrics:
Softly you called to me
Out from the space between
Out from eternity
Where love winds a path unseen
Out of the wilderness
You beckoned my every step
I stumbled sometimes and yet
I never once looked back
Cause I would see
The man I know I used to be
How I was lost before you reached for me
And I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do
Without you
Eser bir yel, dağılır sis
Ne iz bırakır ne bir giz
Yine o derin, dipsiz
O şefkatle affeden
Evvelim, şimdim, ahirim
Benim Sevgili sahibim
Bir okula misafirim
Mezuniyet bekleyen
So you might see
Just what your love has meant to me
And what the cost of losing you would be
No I don’t know
Where I would go or what I’d do
Without you
My heart won’t beat
Without your love in me
My eyes won’t see
Beauty without thee
Loves melody that you put in me
Would lead me to only
Silence without you
Cause I would see
The man I know I used to be
How I was lost before you reached for me
And I don’t know
Where I would go
What I would do
Without you

‘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.

I pray to God my heart soul
Every single day of my life
With every breath I solemnly promise
To try to live my life for you
O Allah, You did revive my soul
And shone Your light into my heart
So pleasing You is now my only goal
Oh I love You so
I love You so (I love You so)
Now I know how it’s like
To have a precious love in my life
Now I know how it feels
To finally be at peace inside
I wish that everybody knew
How amazing it feels to love You
I wish that everyone could see
How Your love has set me free
Set me free and made me strong
O Allah, I’m forever grateful to You
Whatever I say could never be enough
You gave me strength to overcome my uncertainties
And stand firm against all the odds
You are the one who did revive my soul
You shone Your light into my heart
So pleasing You is now my only goal
Oh I love You so

You commit one more mistake
You feel you can’t repent and that it’s way too late

Haunt your mind and your heart is full shame
But don’t despair
And never lose hope
‘Cause Allah is always by your side

My Hero – Harris J
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.

“One Day” Lyrics:
Lying here wide awake on my own now
Silence is the loudest cry
I’m safe but I’ve lost everything I’ve known
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day
CHORUS
One day, one day
One day, one day

Lyrics:
I was so far from You
Yet to me You were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes
To all the signs You put in my way
I walked every day
Further and further away from You
Allah You brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take
Chorus:
Alhamdu Lillah, Alhamdu lillah
All praise is to Allah, All praise is to Allah
I never thought about
All the things You had given to me
I never thanked You once
I was too proud
To see the truth
And prostrate to You
Until I took the first step
And that’s when You opened the doors for me
And now, Allah, I realise what I was missing
By being far from You
Chorus
Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
Indeed You gave me hope
Oh Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I want to thank You
For bringing me home

Lyrics:
Swing across the seven skies
They say a pure heart never lies
The words you learned were never heard
It’s time to think and wonder why
The stars above will always be
A shining guide for us to see
And when I doubt, I’ll have no doubt
But still I wonder why
Digging through our pages past
Wondering how the truth will last
God’s in control is what I found
I think I’ll try this time around!
And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one’s going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!
CHORUS
And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!
The heroes of our past unfold
Their glory is unique we’re told
Their stories mark a precious past
But do we question why?
A quest for truth can never be
A light I’ve faked inside of me
I’ll walk in shoes I’ve never felt
Only then I’ll sure know why!
They tell me “Just make up your mind!”
The path I seek just needs a sign
The end is where I want to be
Which way I go is up to me!
And no one really feels the path I seek, and
No one’s going to care as much as me, and
No one seems to know our history, and
Stories are told for the world to see!
CHORUS
And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!
And I know that it hurts
When we stop and wonder: “Why?”
Yes I know that it hurts
Maybe time will heal the burns
And maybe you’ve felt the path I seek, and
I know you’ve cared as much as me
Our stories were shared for us to see, and
Perhaps it’s best to part and be!
CHORUS
And maybe I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows what’s right!
Maybe, I’ll find the path I seek tonight
Let it be! Only God really knows I tried!

“One Day” Lyrics:
Lying here wide awake on my own now
Silence is the loudest cry
I’m safe but I’ve lost everything I’ve known
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day

We’re here on this special day
Our hearts are full of pleasure
A day that brings the two of you
Close together
We’re gathered here to celebrate
A moment you’ll always treasure
Let’s ask Allah to make your love
Last forever
Chorus:
Let’s raise our hands
And make du’a
Like the Prophet taught us
And with one voice let’s all say
Baraka Allahu lakuma
Wa baraka ‘alaykuma
Wa jama’a baynakuma
Fi khayr
(May Allah bless everything for you two
And shower His blessings upon the two of you
And may he bring you together
In everything that is good)
From now you’ll share all your joys
Through hardship support each other
Together worshipping Allah
Seeking His pleasure
We pray that He will fill your life
With happiness and blessings
And grant you kids who’ll make your home
Filled with laughter
Chorus
Allah barik lahuma

We are all full of sins today,
We have gone astray from the right way,
If we want Allah’s forgiveness,
Then we must say Ya Rasulullah.
The Ummah is split in so many ways,
Everywhere there is only chaos and pain,
If we want to revive the golden days,
Then we must love the Prophet again.
Our Prophet is the best of man,
He is the Master of us all,
We are Muslims because of Him,
For He is the only link to God.
He ruled all the corners of the world,
Yet there wasn’t a single drop of blood,
His message is only love and peace,
And it lives on in our hearts today,

Wanderer’s Lyrics :
In my mind
Foreign lands
Followed lines
On my hands
Tasted earth
Touched the skies
Swam the pools
Of my eyes
People talked
In their fear
Rumours always
Whispered here
Where and why,
From what shore
Who was I
Searching for
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
Pushed and pulled
Through these worlds
Winding roads
I crossed & curled
Pain & love
Hope & fear
In between
All unclear
Drunk on time,
Spin my thoughts
States of mind
Turning doors
Ask me now
Who I am
Turn your back
Take my hand
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
There’s a fire calling me
Burning me
Leading me
Into ecstasy
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
[Round round round round round round round round]

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears
To your oppressor
Don’t show your tears
Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you
‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From Crusaders and Mongols
to the present aggression
Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say
You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This I promise, I promise
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
and kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
so I can chase out the venom
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say
You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware

Don’t show your tears

Circle:
The Circle is a symbol of many things to different people: purity, unity,
equality to name a few. There are no corners, no angles, just a pure arc that continues infinitely.
Inspired by the Sufi whirling dervishes, The Circle is another symbol in this album
that represents oneness with our physical presence on this earth and our spiritual presence beyond.

lyrics:
I see you in the wings that chase the night
Circling the warmth of candlelight
I hear you in the wind as the two poles spin
Whispering the truth your heart holds in
I feel you in the chill as the seasons turn
Laying down a seed, with its lessons learned.
The circle spins a perfect line
Free from borders, free from time
I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine
I feel you in the sand of the desert earth
You know my hunger, know my thirst
I hear you in the cry of distant rain
Coming back to answer the call again
I meet you in the centre of the sacred dance
Reminding me your truth is in my heart
The circle spins a perfect line
Free from borders, free from time
I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine

Rehmat kee barsat aati hain
Dillo jaan ya rasoola Allah
(By the fragrance of your love
The earth and sky reside
You’re a monsoon of mercy
Beloved of my heart O Messenger of Allah)
Ayyuhal mukhtaru feena
Zaadanal hubbu haneena
Ji’tana bil khayri deena
Ya khitaamal mursaleena
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad

Our love has increased our longing for you
You came to us with everything good embodied in a religion
O Seal of all messengers
Muhammad O my beloved)

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 ooh
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

The final prophet and the messenger
Sent from Allah
This is the story so far
Deep in the valley in the town of Mecca
A child was born
Change your life forever
The sky lit up with beautiful weather
It’s where it all began
He grew up fast walking with olders
And when he spoke the people would gather
He had respect from everyone
The most trustworthy was
Oh Muhammad oh Muhammad
Solla Alaik Allah
The final prophet and the messenger
Sent from Allah
This is the story so far
Woh Oh Oh
Then the prophet went to the mountains of Mecca
To think about life and make his mind a bit clearer
In the middle of the night there was a shining light
The revelation then began
He was asked to read but he couldn’t do so
When he tried he spoke words so beautiful
When he was told he was the chosen one
Salawatullahi Alayk
Oh Muhammad oh Muhammad

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.
