LYRICS | كلمات العمل :
شربنا على ذكرِ الحبيبِ مدامة ً
In memory of the Beloved
We drank a wine
سَكِرْنا بها، من قبلِ أن يُخلق الكَرمُ
With which we had been drunk
Before the creation of the vine.
لها البدرُ كأسٌ وهيَ شمسٌ يديرها
The full moon was its cup.
While the wine was a sun passed round
هِلالٌ، وكم يبدو إذا مُزِجَتْ نَجمُ
By a crescent, which when mixed,
How many stars appear!
مولانا
Mawlana
ولولا شذاها ما اهتديتُ لحانها
If not for its fragrance,
I would never have been guided to its tavern.
ولو لا سناها ما تصوَّرها الوهمُ
If not for its radiance,
Imagination could never picture it,
ولم يُبْقِ مِنها الدَّهْرُ غيرَ حُشاشَة ٍ
Time preserved nothing of it, but a fading breath,
كأنَّ خَفاها، في صُدورِ النُّهى كَتْمُ
As if its being hidden in the breasts of the wise were concealed.
وفي سكرة ٍ منها ولو عمرَ ساعة ٍ
If you are drunk with it for but one hour,
تَرى الدَّهْرَ عَبداً طائِعاً، ولَكَ الحُكْمُ
You will see time an obedient slave at your command.
فلا عيشَ في الدُّنيا لمنْ عاشَ صاحياً
For there is no life in this world for one who lives sober;
ومنْ لمْ يمتْ سكراً بها فاتهُ الحزمُ
And one who dies not drunk from it,
Resolution has passed him by.

Mawlana – Sami Yusuf
Lament:
The encounter with the Transcendent inspires an unspeakable awe, in the face of which our worldly
existence appears as a source of separation and sorrow. Lament meditates on lines written by
Ibn ‘Arabi communicating the terror and wonder of an experience of the Infinitely Beyond.
The poet uses visceral language that associates the desolation of the lover with
the desolation of the desert to evoke the meeting of overwhelming attraction and overwhelming
fear in a heart that trembles in the face of the Absolute.

lyrics:
بِأَبي مَن ذُبتُ فيهِ كَمَداً
My father be the ransom of him for whose sake I melted with anguish!
بِأَبي مَن مُتُّ مِنهُ فَرَقا
My father be the ransom of him for whose sake I died of fear!
حُمرَةُ الحَجلَةِ في وَجنَتِهِ
وَضَحُ الصُبحِ يُناغي الشَفَقا
The blush of shame on his cheek is the whiteness of dawn conversing with the Redness of eve
غادَروني بِالأَثيلِ وَالنَقا x4
They left me at al-Uthayl and an-Naqá
مَن لِبَثّي مَن لِوَجدي دُلَّني
Who will compose my distracted thoughts?
Who will relieve my pain?
Guide me to him!
مَن لِحُزني مِن لِصَبٍّ عَشِقا
Who will ease my sorrow?
Who will help a passionate lover?
كُلَّما ضَنَّت تَباريحُ الهَوى
فَضَحَ الدَمعُ الجَوى وَالأَرَقا
Whenever I keep secret the torments of desire
My tears betray the flame within and the sleeplessness
فَإِذا قُلتُ هَبوا لي نَظرَةً
قيلَ ما تُمنَعُ إِلّا شَفَقا
And whenever I say, ‘Give me one look!
The answer is, ‘Thou art not hindered but for pity’s sake.’
بِأَبي x3
My father x3

About the Performance
Sami Yusuf’s instrumental composition ‘The Meeting’ is an intimate
and deeply personal work. Direct and non-linear, the melodies,
rhythms and vocalisations sustain and support
one another flawlessly as the music moves fluidly between the Western
aeolian mode and the Persian dastgah shur. Solos by Sami Yusuf on tar,
Guo Gan on erhu, and Asad Khan on sitar circle each other
to create an embracing ambience where each melodic line is a subtle gem,
strong and fragile in equal measure.

The Dawn (Live at the Dubai Opera) – Sami Yusuf
The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).
The sound of these stone drums are incorporated into this extraordinary piece.
