Lyrics:
THIRSTY AS A DESERT’S PAIN
I MISS YOUR TOUCH LIKE POURING RAIN
WHEN CLOUDS COME IN THEY CRY ALL NIGHT
AND GIVE ME TEARS TO FILL MY EYES
THE FOOTPRINTS THAT YOU LEFT HAVE STAYED
ABOVE THE SAND BENEATH THE WAVES
LONG AFTER TIME HAS LET THEM GO
I’LL WAIT FOR TIDES TO GUIDE YOU HOME
DIZZY AS THE TEA I BREW
MY MIND STIRS ROUND WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
AND LIKE THE MELTING SUGAR CUBES
YOU DISAPPEARED AND LEFT ME TO
YOUR FACE AND FORM IS ALL I SEE
IN SILHOUETTES OF SCOLDING STEAM
AT NIGHT THE KITCHEN CANDLES GLOW
AND SHINE A LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU HOME
(AZERI)
KÜÇƏLƏRƏ SU SƏPMİŞƏM
I HAVE THROWN WATER INTO THE STREET
YAR GƏLƏNDƏ TOZ OLMASIN
MY BELOVED IS COMING, SO THERE MUST NOT BE DUST
ELƏ GƏLSİN, ELƏ GETSİN
LET HER COME, LET HER GO
ARAMIZDA SÖZ OLMASIN
BUT LET THERE NOT BE WORDS BETWEEN US
FAR AWAY AND ALL ALONE
I TRUST IN STARS TO GUIDE YOU HOME

Any one who fails
To see all the signs

Walking in the desert sands
Having no peace of mind

Who Is the Loved One – Sami Yusuf


‘The 99 Names’ is an evocative meditation on the divine Names so familiar to Muslims throughout the world.
And just as sacred chants of other mystical traditions resonate beyond the borders of
their particular paths, the mesmerising sound of this single guides any who
listen to a mindful state of heightened awareness. Its simple, chant-like melody is graced
by celestial backing vocals and dazzling percussion.
The immense significance of the profound secrets and wisdom in the 99 Names* can never be overstated.
Each one is a key that unlocks a mystery. While scholars and sages and poets
have plumbed their infinite depths for centuries, still the true fullness of their
inner meaning waits to be revealed within the individual heart.
* The Names in this recording number 98 with Allah as the 99th Name.

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: Raef & Omar Nawaz Khan
Melody: Raef & Maher Zain
Arrangement: Maher Zain

Wash away that guilty frown
Falling rain, rising sun,
So many things to get done
I am done, it’s your turn
I’m getting old, no time to burn
Chorus:
And no one knows but me, the power that I see
And everybody thinks that I’ve gone crazy
And no one knows but me, just thinking of what could be
And everybody thinks they’re the one…but me
Rise up strong! What you’ll see
Oh, is this real or imaginary?
Shining bright, the night has come
The better life has not yet begun
Here we are, lessons learned
I am done, now it’s your turn!
CHORUS
People think that I’m alone, but I feel close to You
They don’t see that I can love, but I know You do
No one knows just how I feel, only You see through to my heart
CHORUS
Hands raised high, only You can see
For no one knows…but You and me

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

Lyrics:
In a time of darkness and greed
It is your light that we need
You came to teach us how to live
Muhmmad, ya Rasoola Allah
You were so caring and kind
Your soul was full of light
You are the best of mankind
Muhammad, khairu khalqi Allah
Chorus:
Sallou ‘ala Rasooli Allah
Habibil Mustafa
Peace be upon the Messenger
The Chosen One
From luxury you turned away
And all night you would pray
Truthful in every word you say
Muhammad, ya Rasoola Allah
Your face was brighter than the sun
Your beauty equalled by none
You are Allah’s Chosen One
Muhammad, khayru khalqi Allah
Chorus
I’ll try to follow your way
And do my best to live my life
As you taught me
I pray to be close to you
On that day, and see you smile
When you see me

To Guide You Home – 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.

Medina, Medina
Medinatun Nabi (the city of the Prophet)
In my dreams I make my way to Medina
The home and chosen place
Of our beloved Prophet
Where all I feel is peace
And so much joy around
No better place for me, yeah!

Oh, oh, Medina Medina
Oh, oh, Medina Medina
I wake with the morning light in Medina
Everywhere I see blue skies
Set above these mountains
Bright colours fill the streets
A smile on every face
A special place for me, yeah!
CHORUS
Tala’al badru ‘alayna, min thaniyyatil wadaa’
Wajabash shukru ‘alayna, ma da’a lillahi 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)

To Guide You Home – Sami Yusuf

You:
You is a devotional song based on the 99 names of God. It links directly to the qualities of God,
but far from being exclusive there is also a parental association with ‘You’,
serving as an homage to those who have nurtured and protected us throughout our lives.
I am what I am
Because You made
I have what I have
Because You gave
My love is strong
Because You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
I see what I see
Because You shine
I know what I know
Because You Tell
My love is strong
Because You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
Abiding in silence
With patience and guidance
Aware when I need You, the light when I seek You
Justice, forgiveness
The strength in my weakness
And my love, and my love, is strong because
You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
Lover, Taker
Guider, Saviour
Endless, Greatest
Timeless, Patient
Bringer of the life You gave us
Patron of the world You made us
You are Grateful, my Receiver
You are Watchful, the Perceiver
You are Mercy, my Forgiver
You restore me, my Healer
Because You are, because You.

You:
You is a devotional song based on the 99 names of God. It links directly to the qualities of God,
but far from being exclusive there is also a parental association with ‘You’,
serving as an homage to those who have nurtured and protected us throughout our lives.
I am what I am
Because You made
I have what I have
Because You gave
My love is strong
Because You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
I see what I see
Because You shine
I know what I know
Because You Tell
My love is strong
Because You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You
In weakness I am braver
My Defender and my Saviour
My Giver and my Taker
Abiding in silence
With patience and guidance
Aware when I need You, the light when I seek You
Justice, forgiveness

And my love, and my love, is strong because
You
Are the One I call Creator
My Alpha and Omega
My Protector and my Maker
Because of You

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:
I’ve been through sunshine
Made friends with the moonlight
Traveled the ancient lands
And sailed across the seas
I’m free when I think and fight for what’s right
Ain’t nobody gonna tread on me
A place I’d call mine and yours forever
This land was made for you and me, yeah!
Chorus:
Ain’t no place like home, they say
Home is where that heart is, home is where your love is
Ain’t no place like home where I’ll be me, me, me, yeah!
Ain’t no place like home, they say
Home is where that heart is, home is where your love is
Ain’t no place like home where I’ll be free, free, free, yeah!
Our lakes they praise the Great
Through the Mississippi valley
Our smiles they shine from sea to sea
In Him we’ll all trust, be free forever
Home of the brave is where I’ll be
From York that’s all new, to the city of Angels,
God bless this land for you and me, yeah!
CHORUS
All I know is: Love can feel so good
When we know it brings us close to
Home-sweet-home where
Your mind can set you free… Yeah!

كلمات العمل:
ما مرّ ذكرك إلا و ابتسمت له
كأنك العيد والباقون أيام
أو حام طيفك إلا طرت أتبعه
أنت الحقيقة والجلاس أوهام
أنت الهدى والوحي منك كلامه
فالناس حب و أنت أنت غرام
منك الصفا مذ بان بتّ بنعمة
نار الهوى نور وفيه ضرام
When I hear your name I can’t help but smile
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
وفيض حبّك في صلاتي شربته
فشفى جروحي وبات كلي سلام
والقرب منك اليك حين لمسته
سكن الفؤاد وطابت الأيام

Well I know it’s more than love now
Cause you mean everything
Hear you talking when you’re sleeping reality
Know you’re goin through hardship
And I know that you’re scared
But you don’t need to worry
Cause Allah is there
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
May Allah bless our way
And our intention
Stay pure every day
Be a better person
Open the gates to heaven
Guide us the way
Guide us the way
Day by day we’re getting old
And the stories that we’re told
As a kid I was listening listening
Always I’m listening listening
Somewhere a father of a child
With all the loving I provide
Children sleeping through the night the mother singing a lullaby
Oh I will never let you go
You’re my heart my love my soul
And the choices that we make
We gotta make our own
Gotta stand on our feet
As we take this direction
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up
After every hardship comes ease
Hardship comes ease
When we take on the world all the diamonds and pearls
Couldn’t take me away from your smile and your love
And I know you feel lost
And you wanna give up

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.

Lyrics:
I can’t take it any longer, these troubles in my mind
And I just can’t keep it to myself, just how I feel inside
All the troubles in the world today, we cannot leave behind
But you’d say we are the ones to blame, are we the one to our blind?
And when we take on all we need
We’ll move on to know for more to receive
And in this world it there’s so much green, leave it and astray
It’s not caning any better now, were all us can’t escape
And I feel we are too busy now, one next we cannot take
And when we take on all we need
We’ll move on to know for more to receive
And in this world it there’s so much green, leave it and astray
One simple thought, thought from the mind
Could change the world, change it tonight!
What do you feel when turn after life?
One simple thought, thought from our minds
Could change the world, make it all night!
What do you feel when turn after life?
When turn out the life?

“By My Side” Lyrics:-
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
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS
Ain’t nobody, no no nobody
That knows me like You do
Ain’t nobody who makes me feel this way
Got no worries, no no worries
About anything
Cause I know You’re always there, oh

Lyrics: Paddy Dalton, Maher Zain, Bara Kherigi
Melody: Maher Zain, Paddy Dalton
Arrangement: Maher Zain
—
There’s faith in my world
It comes back to your teachings and all your words
From your life I have learnt
To be patient and caring at every turn
The reason I’m strong
You’re where I belong
In a world spinning out of control
The reason for my pride
You are my guide
And I will always follow your way
Your way, your way, oh!
Chorus:
‘Alayka salla Allah O Muhammad
(May Allah’s salutations be upon you O Muhammad)
Peace & blessings on you every day
‘Alayka salla Allah O Muhammad
You inspire me in every way
I promise that wherever I go
Whenever I pray
I’ll be sending you praise
With the words that I say
Rasulallah (Messenger of Allah), O Muhammad
Peace & blessings on you every day
There’s light in my heart
Helps me find my way back when I’ve gone too far
When all my anger makes me blind
I remember you’re a mercy for all mankind
The reason I forgive as long as I live
In a world spinning out of control
The reason I love, I’ll never give up
And I will always follow your way
Your way, your way, oh!
I know the only thing I want from this life
And it’s to follow all your footsteps to Paradise
So that’s the way I’m going to spend all my time
Yes I swear, by Allah I swear!

Peace Be upon you ( One Album ) – Maher Zain


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.

كلمات العمل | Lyrics :
غيري بشر وقدر، ليش أنا ما أقدر،
دامي زيي زيو ما يملك عني قدره
أكبر غير انه حاول ما وقف واصل ولا أتأثر،
رمى الماضي من وراه رفض يتعثر،
وكم من واقع كان فيما سبق حلم كنت تتخيله
و ما جاتك جرأه تخليه يتحقق،
كانت فكره و الآن تطبق علم،
اكيد تتحسر دامك خليت خيالك يتعتق
صَبْراً جَمِيلاً ما أقربَ الفَرَجَا … من رَاقَبَ اللَّهَ فِي الأمورِ نَجَا
منْ صدق الله لم ينلهُ أذى … ومن يرجَاهُ يكونُ حيثُ رَجَا
life is tuff tuff,
you better stand on your feet now. make it ruff ruff,
never get on you knees down. keep your head up,
let them know that you are the one whose flawless,
spread love, sing the chorus loud.
فكرة التحليل كانت من خيال و أنبنى من كوبين و خيط مبدأ الإتصال،
وأجمل سنفونيه عزفت من من؟ ها؟ أجمل سنفونيه عزفت من شخص أصم،
أبحروا بفكرهم و بفكرنا من عدم، إش الفرق إلي بيننا و بينهم؟ لهم عقلين؟ لا!،
أبصروا بالعقل و إحنا أبصرنا بالعين، راح أكمل هدفي على خطاهم و راح أتصدر

Come See | Barakah (Deluxe) – Sami Yusuf


DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.
Written by the Moroccan poet
Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century
