Lyrics:
Allahumma salli ‘ala,
Sayyidina,
Muhammadin an-Nabiyyi al-ummiyyi,
Wa ‘ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.
(O Allah, send your peace and blessings upon our Master Muhammad, the Unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and companions.)
O My Lord,
My sins are like
The highest mountain;
My good deeds
Are very few
They’re like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your
Forgiveness and Mercy
Upon me.
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the Final Prophet,
And his family,
And companions,
And those who follow him.

Lyrics:
What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me
My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity…
My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see…
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?
For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:
But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

Lyrics:
Ashaab e Muhammad haq ke wali, Abu-Bakar Umar Usmaan-o-Ali
Yaraan e Nabi mein sab se jali, Abu Bakar Umar Usmaan-o-Ali
They are the closest companions
Most high in rank is their station
Among the gems they were chosen
The first to build our foundation.
These four our Prophet did entrust
Through whom the truth would reach to us
The pillars of his ways and his love
The beacons of his light for all of us.
The stars who guide us through the night
Their path: it leads to paradise
They are the roots, we are the leaves
We are raindrops, they are the seas.
And when the Prophet left this world
No harder time for all it felt
Then strength was found when they stood tall
They lifted and firmly held his torch.
Indebted to them how we are
They went great lengths for this Ummah
Their vision was on times later
They sacrificed so much for us.

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
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

As I travel through the earth I can’t help but notice
This symphony I hear all around
From the smallest grain of sand to the faraway planets
To a flower putting roots in the ground
Every bird in the sky every rock and every raindrop
Says as it falls from the clouds
Every ant, every plant, every breeze and all the seas
They all sing

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.

Insya Allah (Malay) Lyrics:
Andainya kau rasa tak berupaya
Hidup sendirian, tiada pembela
Segalanya suram, bagai malam yang kelam
Tiada bantuan tiada tujuan
Janganlah berputus asa
Kerana Allah bersamamu
Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…
Ada jalannya
Andainya dosamu berulang lagi
Bagai tiada ruang untuk kembali
Dikau keliru atas kesilapan lalu
Membelenggu hati dan fikiranmu
Janganlah berputus asa
Kerana Allah bersamamu
Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…
Ada jalannya
Kembalilah
Kepada Yang Esa
Yakin padaNya
Panjatkanlah doa
Oh Ya Allah
Pimpinlah daku dari tersasar
Tunjukkan daku ke jalan yang benar
Jalan yang benar
Jalan yang benar
Jalan yang benar…
Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah… Insya Allah… Insya Allah…

Ya Elahi – Ehsan Yasin
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
et ne perd pas espoir
car Allah est toujours proche de toi..
Refrain1:
Incha’allah..x3
Tu trouveras ta voie
Incha’allah..x3
Tu trouveras ta voie
Si parfois
tu commets tant de fautes
que pour te repentir
tu penses qu’il est trop tard.
Tellement confus
des mauvais choix que tu fais
qui hantent ton esprit et
emplisse ton cœur de honte.
Ne baisse pas les bras et ne perd pas espoir car Allah est toujours proche de
toi.
Refrain1
Vas vers Allah, il n’est jamais très loin,
fais lui confiance lève tes mains et prie
Ouh Ya Allah guide nos pas et protège-nous de l’errance.
Tu es le seul qui puisse
‘nous montrer la voie’x4
Refrain2:
Incha’allah..x3
Nous trouverons notre voie
Incha’allah..x3
Nous trouverons notre voie

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
عندما أشرقت الشمس
When the sun rises
والمعدوم
and the non-existent,
والمنفي والباقي
the exiled and what remains,
لا اله الا الله
“there is no real but the Real”.

A hundred suns descended into the well like Joseph.
والأفعاء والراقي
the lowly and the exalted,
لقد اطفأته من الآن سأصمت،
From now on I will be silent,
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.

Özlemin yara değil, benim ilacım

Yüreğimde muhabbetine muhtacım

Yangın nedir, hasret nedir

Nûru Nebi (Turkish Version) – Maher Zain
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?
