Lyrics:
Na main momin vich maseetaan
Na main vich kufar diyan reetaan
Na main paakaan vich paleetaan
Na main moosa na firown
(Not a believer inside the mosque, am I Nor a pagan disciple of false rites
Not the pure amongst the impure Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh)
Bulleya Ki jaana main Kaun
(Bulleya! to me, I am not known)
Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na main vich paleeti paaki
Na main aabi na main khaki
Na main aatish na main paun
In happiness nor in sorrow, am I Neither clean,
nor a filthy mire Not from water,
nor from earth Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth
Bulleya Ki jaana main Kaun
(Bulleya! to me, I am not known)
Bulleya ki Jaana Bulleya ki Jaana ki Jaana

Lyrics:
(Translation and transliteration):
Teri meri dastaan
Maa ki dhadkan se hui shuru
Dhoondhthi rahi
Teri nishaani
Mil gayi har jagah
mujhe pukarthi
Mere rooh ki aabroo
Mere nabz ki junoon
Khoon mein samatha
Oh Rabba ye
Sangeeth mera…sangeeth mera…Sangeeth mera
Sangeeth mera…
Raag bani tu baarish ki boondhon se
Dhun nikli tu hawa ke jhonkon mein
Taal sikhayi tu Aag ki tadpthi Lau se
Sur nikli tu Koyal ki Har geet mein
Basthe ho tum
Khilthi hui hassi mein
Dhabi hui aahon mein
Chootathi pasino mein
Mohabbat ki raah mein
Jaadu hain Nasha hain tu
Sangeeth mera…Sangeeth mera
Saare zamane ki ek zabaan tu
Aur Duniyan ki ekta hain tu
Mere lafzo ki bayaan bhi tu
Har taraf sirf tu hi tu
Mere rooh ki aabroo
Mere nabz ki junoon
Khoon mein samatha
Oh Rabba ye

Malayalam Verse:
Jeevante nritham pole
Like the seasons of nature and life
Ororo poovum pullum neele
On your path to success, every plant and flower that acts as an umbrella
Theeratha kavyam theerpu
Life is like an eternal poem
Aa vinnil suryan porum
The Morning sun that shines your day
Ravakum tharajalam pookum
As well the stars that lit the sky for you
Kalathin thalam kelkan va
To let you hear the rhythm of life
Venal marum varsham peyyum
Come and witness the summer move aside for the rain to drop
Ushasandhyakalayi manasse padu
After the darkest night comes dawn
Thalarathe naam Thudaram yathra
so never back down and continue the journey
Hindi Verse:
Ye Subha Mein Ujala
This Brightness in the Morning
Ye Machalti Shaam Ka Roshan Tara
is like a glistening star on a fancy night
Kehta Hai Tu Bhi Aaa Jagmaga
that says “come and shine with me”
Ghani Hain Ye Rahen
The ways are thick
Judi Aise Jaise bahen
Combined as two arms
Manzil Pe tum gum Na ho Jana
Our point of destiny won’t be lost
Qadam Badha
Step Forward
Bulandi Pe Jaa
Reach the heights
Sapnay Tu Saja
Build all your dreams
Jalway tu Dikha
Come out in flying colors
Aman Ko Jaga
Bring peace
Ghamon Ko Bhula
Forget all the hardships

Pyar Se Jag Roshan Hai – The World is Lightened with love
Nachay Jogi Jogan Hai – Dancing ascetic lovers
Dhadkanon Mein bas Ja , Jhoom Ja – Stay in Heartbeats and enjoy
Ishq Mast kalandar Hai – Love is Crazy
Dil Jalon Ka Samundar Hai – it’s a sea of Lovers.
Tor(d) Kay Rasmon Ko , Doob Jaa – Break all the rituals and sink in it.
Chahaton Ki Ye Sargam , Ab Dagar Dagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of love place to place.
Kabhi Payalon Ki Chan Chan – sometimes the sound of athletes
Chudion Ki Khan Khan – the sound of bangles.
Is Bheedmein pyari se koi , aati Hai Ye Sada – In This crowd a lovely Echo
came up
Khudaya Ve Khudaya Ve
Khuda Ve Khuda Ve
Nor-e-Khuda
Ye Jahan ab Tera Hai – this world is now your’s
Qurbaton Ka Mela Hai – it’s a fun land of peace
Ulfaton ka is mein , hai Mazaa – it’s a joy of love
Sham Ye Mastani Hai – this evening is wonderful
Zindagi Dewani Hai – life is crazy
Bekhudi Ka is mein , hai Nashaa – it’s an addict of love
Aashiqon Ki Ye Sargam , Ab nagar nagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of lovers place to place.
Kahen Dhol Bajay Hai Dham Dham – somewhere drums playing
barishon ki ye cham cham – sounds of rain.
Is Bheer(d) mein pyari se koi , aati Hai Ye Sada – In This crowd a lovely Echo

Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…

Janganlah berputus asa

Estağfirullah (Turkish Version) – Mesut Kurtis
DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Dheeray Say Mujh Ko Sula De Meri Maa – Let me sleep again slowly oh mom
Paas Tu Jo Naa Rahe To – If you are not staying with me
Siskiyan Le Kar Mein Ro Dun – I would weap a lot and cry
Maa Mujhe Aa Ke To de do Hosla – Please come and give me courage
Sehla Day – Stroke me
Behla Day – Disperse me
Seenay Say Mujh Ko Laga Lay – Hug me
Wohi Lory, Gaa Phir Se – The same song, sing it again
Nindiya Ko Tu Jaga Day – Wake me up again
Dheeray Se Mujh Ko Sula De – Let me sleep again slowly oh mom
Meri Maa – My Mom
Meri Maa – My Mom
Jhulati Hai Jhoola – She is swinging like a swing
Mamta Ki Chaya – The shadow of her love
Maa Ka Dulara – Falls upon her loving son
Jaga Muskaya – Waking up with a smile
Sukh Mein Dukh Mein Jo Sath Thee – In happiness & sadness she was near
Palak Jhapaktay hi Ko Gayiii – Disappeared in seconds
Lamha Lamha Jo Paas Thee – Every moment she was with me
Door Mujh Se Ho Gayii – Going far away from me
Saza Se Bhi Hai Ye Zyada – This is more than a punishment
Teray Bin Ik Pal Jeeena – Living a second without you
Amma – mother
Amma- mother
Amma – mother
Paas Tu Jo Naa Rahe To – If you are not staying with me
Siskiyan Le Kar Mein Ro Dun – I would weap a lot and cry
Maa Mujhe Aa Ke To de do Hosla – Please come and give me courage

Ümmetim (Turkish Version) Lyrics:

O gün herkes canım derken

Deyip sarılmaman olur kıyametim
Ümmetim Ümmetim

O gün herkes canım derken

This powerful new composition begins with the haunting and resonant vocalizations of Sami Yusuf,
then adds instrumental, rhythmic, and vocal layers to create an epic unison section
that evokes the many-faceted aspects of the arc of Azerbaijan’s history. This piece features
stunning vocal solos by Sevda Alekperzadeh, Tayyar Bayramov, Samira Aliyeva, and a beautiful tar solo
by Sahib Pashazade that leads into the majestic outro.
Written in Bayāt-e Shīrāz mugham, its sweeping melody is inspired by the story of this region
from its earliest times to its hopes for the future.

Lyrics:
Aa mil yaar saarley, Meri jaan dikhaan ney gyheri
Come my love take care of me, I am in great agony
Ander khawab vchora hoya, Khabar na payndi teri
Soni ban wich luti saiyaan, Soor palang ney gheyri
Ever separated, my dreams are dreary
Looking for you, my eyes are weary
All alone I am robbed in a desert
Waylaid by a bunch of way words
Mullan Qazi rah batawaan, Deen dharam dey pherey
Aye taan thag jugat dey jhaar, lawaanjaal chufereey
The Mullah and Qazi show me the way
Their maze of Dharma that is in sway
They are the confirmed thieves of time
They spread their net saintly crime
Karam sharo dey dharam batawan
Sangal pawan pereen Zaat mazhab yeh ishq na pochdaa
Ishq shara da weri
Their time-worn norms are seldom right
With these they chain my feet so tight
My love cares not for caste or creed
To the rituals of faith I pay no heed
Nadioon paar aye mulk sajan da
lehar lobh ney gheri Satgor beri perhi khalotey
Ten kion lai aweri
My Master lives on yonder bank
While I am caught in the gale of greed
With boat of anchor, He stands in wait
I must hasten, I can’t be late

Sari Gelin:
Sari Gelin is a famous Azeri folk song hugely popular around the world, particularly in Turkey,
Azerbaijain and the Persian speaking countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan) as well as Uzbekistan,
Greece, Bosnia and Serbia to name just a few. There are many traditional versions of this hauntingly emotional melody.
This is our humble attempt at creating an English version of this beautiful love song
based loosely on translations from the original variations.

lyrics:
I fight for a love
Knowing it can’t be won
Sent from a light above
Child of our golden Sun
Sari Gelin
I reach for hands
Knowing they can’t be held
Cursed by words I can’t tell
Broken under your spell
Sari Gelin
And like a rose
Turning in to thorns
My love was taken
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun
Sari Gelin.
A beating drum
Searches on for your song
Echoes will carry on
Wondering where you’ve gone
Sari Gelin
Is that your voice
Caught in the mountain air?
Leading me to nowhere
Drifting in silent prayer
Sari Gelin
And like a rose
Turning in to thorns
My love was taken
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun
Sari Gelin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Bu sevda nə sevdadır Səni mənə verməzlər Neynim aman, aman Neynim aman, aman Sarı gəlin
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?

Lyrics – كلمات :
أنا الموجودُ
I am the existent
والمعدومُ
and the non-existent,
والمنفيُّ
the exiled
والباقي
and what remains,
أنا المحسوسُ
I am the perceived
والموهومُ
and the imagined,
والأفعاءُ
the lowly
والراقي
and the exalted,
يا حي، يا حي
O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living
فلا عينٌ
Neither eye
ولا بصرٌ
nor sight,
ولكنْ سرُّ
but the secret
آماقي
of the inner being,
ولا أجلٌ
Neither limited by death
ولا عمرٌ
nor span of life,
ولا فانٍ
there is nothing perishable
ولا باقي
nor enduring.
يا حي، يا حي
O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living
عندما أشرقت الشمس من أعماق الماء الأسود
When the sun rises from the depths of black water
يمكنك سماعها شيئًا فشيئًا، لا إله إلا الله
Listen carefully, from particle to particle, “there is no real but the Real”.
لا اله الا الله
“there is no real but the Real”.
ومن الماء والطين خرج ضباب قلب الإنسان مثل آدم
When the moon of the heart arose from water and clay, like Adam,
نزلت في البئر مائة شمس مثل يوسف.
A hundred suns descended into the well like Joseph.
نزلت في البئر
descended into the well
لقد اطفأته من الآن سأصمت، لأنه في صمتي،
From now on I will be silent, for in my silence,
سيتم فصل الحق عن الباطل، كما ينفصل الحب عن القش.
Truth and falsehood shall be separated, just like grain from straw.
كما ينفصل الحب عن القش.
just like grain from straw.
أنا الموجود
I am the existent

آه والراقي
and the exalted,
سيتم فصل الحق عن الباطل،
Truth and falsehood shall be separated,
أقبل الساقي علينا
The cupbearer came to us,
قدم الكأس إلينا
presented us with the cup,
فاحتسينا وارتوينا
And so we drank our fill,
من كؤوس الهاشمية
From the cup of generosity.

J’ai corrigé les paroles
Si parfois,
tu as du mal à avancer
si tu te sens seul, si tu te sens paumé.
Quand la nuit s’éternise,
que l’obscurité t’oppresse
même désemparé,
même si tu ne sais quelle voie suivre.
Ne baisse pas les bras

Lyrics:
Na main momin vich maseetaan
Na main vich kufar diyan reetaan
Na main paakaan vich paleetaan
Na main moosa na firown
(Not a believer inside the mosque, am I Nor a pagan disciple of false rites
Not the pure amongst the impure Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh)
Bulleya Ki jaana main Kaun
(Bulleya! to me, I am not known)
Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na main vich paleeti paaki
Na main aabi na main khaki
Na main aatish na main paun
In happiness nor in sorrow, am I Neither clean,
nor a filthy mire Not from water,
nor from earth Neither fire, nor from air, is my birth
Bulleya Ki jaana main Kaun
(Bulleya! to me, I am not known)
Bulleya ki Jaana Bulleya ki Jaana ki Jaana

Dil Hai Tera – Hesham Abdul Wahab
ز عشقت آنچنان مستم که دیگر خود نمی دانم
در این مستی بوم حیران و با این حال خاموشم
نه دوریت بود ممکن نه آغوش پر از مهرت
ز بوی زلف مشکینت ولی همواره مدهوشم
رخت بگشای ای ساقی که جانم در طلب باشد
بده یک جرعه زان باده برد هم دم و هم هوشم
در این دیر پر از محنت بسی سختی پذیرفتم
به این اندیشه تا روزی شراب معرفت نوشم

Dil Hai Tera – Hesham Abdul Wahab
The lyrics of this song come from the poetry of the 14th century mystical poet Nasimi, who was one of the first literary figures to compose in Azerbaijani. The composer sets an ecstatic mood in this new piece in Shur mugham that evokes Sufi ceremonies through high-energy percussion and dazzling avaz sections. The musical narrative is majestic, powerful, and intensely beautiful.
