He Is One – Tom Robertson
Lyrics:
There is a reason why to Allah we pray
In the morning on every day
It’s a meeting and we must not be late
If we want to have peace we must obey and pray
There is no better feeling
Than when we pray on time
And we know the rest of our days
Will work out just fine
So we must work hard and wake up before sunrise
So we can leave our homes with the blessings of Allah
Idha hafadhta ‘alal salah
إذا حافظت على الصلاة
Hayatuka tumla’ baraka
حياتك تملئ بركة
Idha hafadhta ‘alal salah
إذا حافظت على الصلاة
Tanal ridhaa’ Allah
تنال رضى الله
If you maintained your prayers
Your life will be filled with blessings
If you prayed on time
Allah will be pleased with you
No excuses of why you cannot pray
Coz we need him on everyday
So don’t tell me just why you turned up late
If we want to have peace we must obey and pray
Idha hafadhta ‘alal salah
إذا حافظت على الصلاة
Hayatuka tumla’ baraka
حياتك تملئ بركة
Idha hafadhta ‘alal salah
إذا حافظت على الصلاة
Tanal ridhaa’ Allah
تنال رضى الله
If you maintained your prayers
Your life will be filled with blessings
If you prayed on time
Allah will be pleased with you
Listen brother and sister it’s all been said before
You’re too tired now so you sleep some more
But when you wake up there’s an emptiness inside
If we want to have peace we must swallow our pride
I know my friend it’s not easy
But we must try believe me
And we will feel a difference
In our lives and Allah will give us strength

Lyrics:
If I was given one more chance
To live my life again
There would be no more mistakes
And be the best of man
I will give on and lend a hand
Just one last try
And I’ll know it’s too late
To changed the lightness mind
‘Cause when your time has come now
And your life has reached the end
You’re wishing for another
You can’t go back my friend
In the end ..
So many regerts that a hand
Don’t have time to shared them all
And I run out the excuses
Now It’s time to take the fall
‘Cause when your time has come now
And your life has reached the end
And you’re begging for another
You can’t go back my friend
In the end ..
‘Cause I have no more time
On this surface swarm
And If I had time
I would change it on
I will change it on ..

Lyrics:
This is not the way it is
This is not the way it should be
You’re destroying everything,
Everything that’s dear to me.
I can never be like you
You are the wicked of this world
You are the reason why we feel fear in our daily lives.
Chorus:
And faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference!
Do not involve the innocent
Do not involve them that’s not the way
Lost in your own ignorance, believing you will save the day
Chorus
It is not enough to say
That you’re fighting for a good cause,
When you take their lives away,
Ask the ones that suffered their loss
Chorus
Use your mind, use your mind
It was given for you to use
Use your mind, use your mind, not for you to abuse

Lyrics:
I’m Not Ready To Let You Go
Strong hands are helping you
From falling down
Your faith so inspiring
As you settle down
The angels are welcoming
We feel it all around
With gentle eyes you say to me
All the signs are there
Allah’s always been kind to me
So don’t you despair
There’s so much I don’t understand
I say Dad not yet …
Cos I’m not ready
To let you go
You’ve been there for me, strong and steady
Always holding on
How can a mountain
Just crumble and fold
Leaving a river
To find its way home
How do I find my way home
Guess I’m not ready
To let you go
The world keeps turning round and round like nothing’s wrong
But my world’s turning upside down I don’t belong
It seems I’ve changed so much since you’ve been gone
There’s a pain inside my heart I can’t let go
Allah knows …
I’m not ready
To let you go
You’ve been there for me, strong and steady
Always holding on
So how can my mountain
Just crumble and fold
Leaving a river
To find its way home
How do I find my way home
Guess I’m not ready
To let you go

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

Pearl:
As an album ‘The Centre’ takes us through a spiritual journey. ‘The Pearl’ is at the heart of this journey,
the hidden beauty that is revealed once we peel back these layers of self discovery.
Lying in darkness at the bottom of a deep ocean, protected by a hard shell,
The Pearl is waiting for anyone with the determination and patience to find it.

lyrics:
I spent a thousand sleepless nights
In wait of dreams I could not find
I walked a thousand empty roads
In search of signs to bring me home
With every breath I spoke your name
And heard it rolling in the waves
Beneath a veil of ocean blue
I broke illusion from the truth
You said, walk to me and I’ll find you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you
Music
And from the pulse beneath my skin
You called me to a source within
Where every layer revealed one more
A secret brighter than before
And at the heart there lay just one
The root of all that I’d become
I watched the surface start to break
Free of form, free of shape.
You said, walk to me and I’ll run to you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you.

And I will say ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ain’t nobody gonna take that from me
If we stay silent
We’ll see injustice spreading wide
When freedom calls, I’ll be there

“Ummati” Lyrics:
Shining bright you came to us

And to us you’ve always been so close

أمتي، أمتي

أنا لها، أنا لها
Ana laha ana laha
(“I will do it, I will do it” [to intercede to God on behalf of his nation])
You have always sacrificed
Smiled with patience through the hard times
All you did inspired everyone you knew
Always selfless, striving for the truth

Please save me
Except Al-Habib (the beloved)

No on else on that day can intercede

Except Al-Habib (the beloved)
CHORUS
Muhammadun
I’d give my heart and soul for you
Wish my eyes can see your face and be close to you
Coz in your guidance I find peace of mind indeed
No on else on that day can intercede

Mawlaya – Lyrics:
CHORUS
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abadan
‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Mawlaya salli wa sallim da’iman abadan
‘Ala habibika khayril khalqi kullihimi
Ya Rabbee salli ‘aleeh
Salawatu Allahi ‘aleeh
All the poetry ever written
Every verse and every line
All the love songs in the world
Every melody and rhyme
If they were combined
They would still be unable to express
What I want to define
When I try to describe my love for you
CHORUS
Every sound and every voice
In every language ever heard
Each drop of ink that has been used
To write every single word
They could never portray
Everything I feel in my heart and want to say
And it’s hard to explain
Why I could never describe my love for you
CHORUS
There’s not a single person
Who can ever match his worth
In character and beauty
To ever walk on earth
I envy every rock and tree
And every grain of sand
That embraced his noble feet
Or that kissed his blessed hands
Ya Rasool Allah
Ya Habiba Allah
Grant us the chance to be with him
We pray to You Allah

Lyrics:
It’s so hard to explain
What I’m feeling
But I guess it’s ok
Cause I’ll keep believing
There’s something deep inside
Something that’s calling
It’s calling you and I
It’s taking us up high
Healing, a simple act of kindness bring such meaning
A smile can change a life let’s start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Heal and you will be healed
Break every border
Give and you will receive
It’s nature’s order
There is a hidden force
Pulling us closer
It’s pulling you and I
It’s pulling us up high to…
Healing, a simple act of kindness brings such meaning
A smile can change a life lets start believing
And feeling, let’s start healing
Hearts in the hand of another heart and in God’s hand are all hearts
An eye takes care of another eye and from God’s eye nothing hides
Seek only to give and you’ll receive
So, heal and you will be healed

Lyrics:
Show me our way to return to him in peace
Show me a way and I’d be gone tomorrow
For there is only one way for you and me
Show me the way home
His character was a thing of beauty
One to be admired
And when I think of him
There’s a warm feeling deep inside
No one had conducts like him
And his enemies did agree
That he was known as the trusted one
Sent for you and me
The only time I feel happy
Is when he’s on my mind
When I think of his perfection
He was so merciful and kind
He’s a perfect example
Of the way we all should be
His mission was accomplished with grace
And he was sent for you and me
Have we forgotten the one who loves us the most?
Have we forgotten the pain and the sorrow?
He went through so much for us, so much don’t you know?
To show us the way home
If only I could be with him
Just for one day
Just to sit with him he could show me
The right way
In character in conducts and in body
And in mind
Nothing can compare to the master
Of mankind

‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.

“Let It Go” Lyrics:-
Life can be so hard sometimes
Break you up inside
All you want to do is cry
Shut the door and hide
Don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start
Chorus:
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Giving up should never be
Something you decide to do
Wipe the tears from your cheek
God knows what you’re going through
So don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start, yeah
CHORUS
I know it’s hard but believe and keep trying
And it will be okay
‘Cause in your heart is the strength to survive it
You will be okay
And in no time like the sun you’ll be shining
Just let it go away

Chorus:
The road is long, the path is high
And sometimes we all need help in this life
But you’re too strong, and you’re so wise
But carry on and you won’t survive
And when I try to lend you a hand
You push me away won’t try to understand

Suddenly this will all come to an end
So my last wish is for You to be pleased with me

Close to You throughout my life
Ya Allah, O Allah!
Be with me all the way
I know that sometimes I do
I do forget that my next breath could be the last
Forgive me ’cause I can’t thank You enough
Forgive me when I doubt Your love
Now I pray for that day
When all this stops and comes to an end
So my last wish is for You to be pleased with me

Day by day passes
And I think that my time could be near
So I pray: O God let this world be in my hands

I’m also prone

Albarq Alyamani – Sabyan ft. Adam Ali
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

Fiyyashiyya (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
Beyond the lines of no man’s land
Time stands still.
My voice is weak, but far away, I softly speak
In silent words, on folded knees,
With silent words we call the night,
To bring you sleep & dry your eyes,
To bring you dreams & free your minds,
When every hope has gone, we hold on.
With silent words we’ll ask the dawn,
To chase your fears when nights are long,
A million voices in to one,
When every hope has gone
We echo all night through
With silent words we are with you.
With every tear you cry, we’ll comfort you
Standing by your side, as one with you,
You can find us, deep in the silence
Carried in the soft winds passing through
We’ll be your shadow, today and tomorrow
There to follow everything you do.

من يمسح دمعَ اليتيم؟
Who can wipe the tear of an orphan?
Mann yamsa7 dam3al-yateem?
أبكي بصمتٍ وأنين
Silently, I cry and moan
Abki bi-ssamtin wa aneen
عن شيخ، شاب، ويتيم
For an old man, a young man and an orphan
3an shaiyykhin, shaaban wa yateem
عنكِ يا…آه سوريا
About you … Ah Syria
3anki ya…ah sooriyya
Beyond the lines of no man’s land
Time stands still.
My voice is weak, but far away, I softly speak
In silent words, on folded knees,
With silent words we call the night,
To bring you sleep & dry your eyes,
To bring you dreams & free your minds,
When every hope has gone, we hold on.
With silent words we’ll ask the dawn,
To chase your fears when nights are long,
A million voices in to one,
When every hope has gone
We echo all night through
With silent words we are with you.
With every tear you cry, we’ll comfort you
Standing by your side, as one with you,
You can find us, deep in the silence
Carried in the soft winds passing through
We’ll be your shadow, today and tomorrow
There to follow everything you do.

Lyrics:
My life is not the same
When I’m too concerned by what they say
Why should I? When I have you
To doubt you would be the worst mistake
Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies
Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You
Trials of life upon me
Are more precious than diamonds and gold
Tested with fire I may be
But I know I’ll come out stronger in this world
Deep inside I know
That amidst all the darkness
And everything, which makes no sense
I know that you exist
You are the light
That guides me through my darkest nights
That shows me right from wrong in life
In a world that often lies
Cause I don’t need anyone
Nor anything in life
But You
No I don’t need anyone
To show me my way
No I don’t need anyone
But You
I only want the things
You know is best for me
I’d gladly sacrifice
If that’s what you decree
I would break and
Mourn in eternity
Perish into the sea
If that’s what you want for me
