Lyrics :
A humble slave I am of an almighty Lord
No work is too hard for that One who’s adored
But though I’m a beggar who cannot afford
To claim any strength, sure and strong is my Lord
He says, where He wills, when He wishes a thing,
just “Be”, and it is, by the might of a King
The ruler whose edicts and wise rulings bring
All blessings and grace by the might of a King
I haven’t got the force,
No strength between my sides
Why feel such remorse
when the Maker provides?
[Arabic:]
I’m but a humble slave, what should I worry about?
All affairs are ordained, of this there is no doubt
My Lord sees everything, while my sight leaves much out
In the womb, He formed me from a drop
O Allah, send your blessings on The Chosen One
Our beloved Muhammad, Peace be upon him
[English:]
I’m safe in the shade of his all-knowing height
And no strength have I — His all power and might.
So glory to God, his bounty shining bright,
All gratitude and praise are His due and His right.

I Love You So – Lyrics:
I pray to God
My heart, soul, and body
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
Now I know how it’s like
To have Your 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
I love You so
Now I know how it’s like
To have Your 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
My love, my life, my days, my nights, my wealth, my prayers – all for You
My love, my life, my days, my nights, my wealth, my prayers – all for You
And I swear that I will never put anyone or anything before You
My love, my life, my days, my nights, my wealth, my prayers – all for You
Now I know how it’s like
To have Your 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

When I say your name I come alive
I follow You leaving all behind
You are the truth, all else is a lie
The signs of Your love are clear to see
I’m lost in wonder every single night
The bright full moon is shy of Your beauty
The midday sun is shy of Your light

lyrics:
I thought of this before over a million times
Who would’ve ever thought that it would be our time?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
It ain’t a selfish love, when I’m with you
You remind me of Allah, and so I know it’s true
I’ll just say it: you are the one
Chorus:
Won’t you be my BFF (best friend forever) and ever?
Won’t you be my partner after this world?
We’ll see it, when we believe it together
Dreams are meant to be, ’cause you’re the one for me
I never thought that I would ever feel this way
I ask Allah to bless you every single day
I’ll just say it, ’cause you’re the one
And when times are tough, and we’ve got the world to see
Standing right beside you is where I want to be
I just know it: you are the one
CHORUS
I prayed about this just over a million times
Who would ever thought that I could call you mine?
I just know it, ’cause you’re the one
And when there’s gray in our hair and we’ve not much to do
I want to spend the rest of my days with you…
Oh don’t you know it?
You are the one, you are the one
Oh won’t you be the one?

DESCRIPTION:
Experience the beauty and unity of diverse musical traditions with Sami Yusuf’s
latest release, ‘One.’ Recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022,
this piece showcases exceptional artistry from Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s own ensemble.
Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf,
‘One’ is a stunning blend of Western European vocal performance and the dynamic
rhythms of Andalusian, North African and Middle Eastern instruments including the ney,
violin, qanun, santur and percussions.
The German words by Meister Eckhart and Arabic poetry by Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari
speak of the Eternal I and the unity of vision, emphasising the separate beauty of
each path and their underlying unity.
Performed in E Flat with allusions to maqām Nahāwand,
‘One’ opens with Cappella Amsterdam’s hauntingly beautiful vocals,
transitioning to the richly textured and dynamic rhythms of Amsterdam
Andalusian Orchestra, culminating in a mesmerising santur and percussion performance
by Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.
‘One’ invites you to experience the oneness of the human spirit in art.

Lyrics:
I wonder why you and me fight each other
Don’t you see the similarities between us?
Take a minute and see yourself in the mirror
You look like me, those eyes, lips, you can’t deny
Have you thought about why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family
It doesn’t matter if you live far away from me
You feel I feel, you bleed I bleed, you cry and I cry
We sleep and dream
Sometimes we’re sad sometimes we’re happy
You breathe I breathe
We love, walk, talk and we smile
Have you thought about why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family, family
I care about you and i wish you could realize
There’s no difference between us two
we’re part of one family
No matter how far you are are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
Just one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother, you my sister
Just one big family

[Chorus]
Allahu Allahu Allahu
[x8]
Truly He is the One
He has no father or son
Everything in creation was by Him begun
With His infinite power anything could be done
Ask Allah for His Pardon
And you’ll enter the Garden
[Chorus]
Before Him there were none
Of partners He has none
He knows what is apparent and what is hidden
All the fate of creation has already been written
His Will is always done
And can never be undone
[Chorus]
From amongst all humans
Muhammad was chosen
He was illiterate and he was an orphan
Yet Allah sent him to those who were pagans
Oh Allah let us drink
From his hand in the fountain
[Chorus]
Ya Allah You’re the Sovereign
You’re the Sultan of Sultans
Please protect me from Shaytan and all of his treason
Let him not with his whispers my iman ever weaken
My only wish in this life
Is to attain Your Pardon

Searched for the words
To describe your beauty
No matter how I tried
No word seemed worthy
Struggled to find

Words just fail to describe

Zemmeen Aseman, Jinn-o-Insaa bhi

Be omidi ke roozi

Sooye To ayam

Jomleha ra gashtam

Buat menemani zikir hati

Ku MilikMu – Lyrics:
Kuberdoa
Dengan jiwa dan tubuhku
Setiap hari sepanjang hidupku
Dengan napasku
Aku berjanji pada-Mu
Untuk hidup hanya untuk-Mu
O Allah!
Kau bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Chorus:
Kini kutahu rasanya
Hidup dalam cahaya kasih-Mu
Kini kutahu rasanya
Menemukan damai di hati
Seandainya semua tahu
Indahnya mengabdi pada-Mu
Seandainya semua tahu
Kasih-Mu lepaskan belenggu
Bebaskanku, kuatkanku
O Allah!
Kubersyukur pada-Mu
Walau kata tak sanggup ungkapkan
Kau buatku,
Mampu lawan keraguan
Dan tegar hadapi tantangan
Hanya Engkau
Sanggup bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Dan hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
CHORUS
Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua
untuk-Mu (x2)

Ku MilikMu – Lyrics:
Kuberdoa
Dengan jiwa dan tubuhku
Setiap hari sepanjang hidupku
Dengan napasku
Aku berjanji pada-Mu
Untuk hidup hanya untuk-Mu
O Allah!
Kau bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Chorus:
Kini kutahu rasanya
Hidup dalam cahaya kasih-Mu
Kini kutahu rasanya
Menemukan damai di hati
Seandainya semua tahu
Indahnya mengabdi pada-Mu
Seandainya semua tahu
Kasih-Mu lepaskan belenggu
Bebaskanku, kuatkanku
O Allah!
Kubersyukur pada-Mu
Walau kata tak sanggup ungkapkan
Kau buatku,
Mampu lawan keraguan
Dan tegar hadapi tantangan
Hanya Engkau
Sanggup bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Dan hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
CHORUS
Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua
untuk-Mu (x2)
Dan tiada satu pun dapat bersaing dengan-Mu di hatiku
Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua untuk-Mu

Lyrics :
Every time
You feel like you cannot go on
You feel so lost and that you’re so alone
All you see is night
And darkness all around
You feel so helpless you can’t see which way to go
Don’t despair
And never lose hope
‘Cause Allah is always by your side
Chorus:
Insha Allah
Insha Allah
Insha Allah
You’ll find your way
Every time
You commit one more mistake
You feel you can’t repent and that it’s way too late
You’re so confused
Wrong decisions you have made
Haunt your mind and your heart is full shame
But don’t despair
And never lose hope
‘Cause Allah is always by your side
Chorus
InshaAllah
InshaAllah
InshaAllah
We’ll find the way
Turn to Allah
He’s never far away
Put your trust in Him
Raise your hands and pray
Ooh ya Allah
Guide my steps, don’t let me go astray
You’re the only one who can show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
InshaAllah
InshaAllah
InshaAllah
We’ll find the way

Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
I still can hear your voice calling out my name
And I remember all the stories you told me
I miss the time you were around
I miss the time you were around
But I’m so grateful for every moment I spent with you
‘Cause I know life won’t last forever
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon
Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy
But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking: “Why?”
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return, ooh
You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong

“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

6am, when he wakes up
He wipes the sleep from his eyes
Another day, at school again
Weighing heavy upon his mind
Standing tall, trying to keep it cool
Saying “yes” to everything
He’s lost in doubt, all he cares about
Is to find a way of fitting in
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are
Don’t ever forget you shine
Shining like a star
There’s something so perfect
Courage in everyone
So don’t ever let yourself, stop
Loving who you are
She stood, by her mirror
She’s wondering how to fix her scarf
Filled up, with a fear of
People staring from afar
At the way she talks, just how she walks
It’s tearing up her self-esteem
She’s lost in doubt, all she cares about
Is to find a way of fitting in
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are
Don’t ever forget you shine
Shining like a star
There’s something so perfect
Courage in everyone
So don’t ever let yourself, stop
Loving who you are
No matter, ooh
You are always beautiful
No matter, you
You are incredible
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are
Don’t ever forget you shine
Shining like a star
There’s something so perfect

“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

Sometimes I can’t see
Where I’m supposed to go
Sometimes I speed up,
When I should take it slow
But through all my hard times
When I lose my way
You’re concealing my mistakes, yeah!
Pre-Chorus:
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
Chorus:
When I’m out there in the darkest place
Worn and tired
I can still see You illuminate
All my skies
When it feels like I’ve fallen too far from You
There You, there You, there You are
Guiding me through
Whenever I feel down
You can lift me up
Turning my life around
With Your love
No matter how rough it gets
I can wear a smile
‘Cause Your mercy never dries
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine

Ain’t nobody, no no nobody

Got no worries, no no worries

Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence is a breathtaking musical odyssey through a rich
artistic and cultural heritage. The music was composed, arranged, and directed by Sami Yusuf
for the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
in Baku on June 30, 2019. The performance was directed by the renowned creative director Andrei Boltenko.
This newly created cultural treasure comprises nine themes; each theme
expresses an aspect of the ethos of Azerbaijan from the land’s earliest
inhabitants some twenty thousand years ago to its contemporary realities and aspirations.
With fifty-seven highly skilled musicians under his direction,
Sami Yusuf displays his mastery of a complex musical language while
staying true to the traditional sounds of the region. The instruments
used (except the piano) are traditional instruments from the region including the tar,
an instrument so significant that it is said to have taken a role in shaping
the cultural identity of Azerbaijanis; the kamancha, the stringed instrument related to the Byzantine
lyra and European violin family; and the balaban, a double-reed ancient wind instrument with a plaintive, solemn sound.
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence mesmerises with its dazzling musical range
from the subtle to the powerful and from the evocative to the majestic.
It is the soundscape of a region that displays an underlying universality.
These inspired compositions by this renowned musician evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners
no matter their cultural origin.

Ayyuhal mab’uthu fina, ji’ta bil amril mutaa’
Ji’ta sharraftal Medina, marhaban ya khayra daa’
(The full Moon rose over us
From the valley of Wadaa’
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Whenever a caller prays to Allah
O you who were raised amongst us
Coming with the word to be obeyed
You have brought to Medina nobleness
Welcome, best caller to God’s way)
CHORUS
Medina, Medina

Lyrics:
Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…
Allahu Akbaru Allahu Akbaru Allah…
If you ask me about love and what I know about it
My answer will be
It’s everything about Allah, the pure love to our souls
He’s the Creator of you and me
The heavens and the whole universe
The One that made us whole and free
The Guardian of His true believers
Chorus:
So when the time gets hard
And there’s no way to turn
As He promised
He will always be there
To bless us with His love
And His mercy ’cause
As He promised
He will always be there
He’s always watching us, guiding us
And He knows what’s deep in our hearts
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
‘Cause as He promised
He will always be there
He brings us out from the darkness into the light, Subhanallah
Capable of everything
We should never feel afraid of anything
As long as we follow His guidance all the way
Through our short time we have in this life
Soon it’ll all be over and well be
In His heaven and we’ll all be fine
Chorus
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…..
