Lyrics:
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid
CHORUS:
La ilaha illallah
Muhammad rasulallah
La ilaha illallah
Muhammad rasulallah
‘Alayhi salatullah
‘Alayhi salatullah
Children are wearing new clothes
Bright colours fill the streets
Their faces full of laughter
Their pockets full of sweets
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid
CHORUS
Mosques are full of worshippers
in rows straight and neat
Their Lord they remember, His name they repeat
Their hands are raised to the sky
They supplicate and plead
On this blessed day
Forgive us they entreat
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid
CHORUS
People are giving charity
And helping those in need
In giving they’re competing
Today there is no greed
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid
CHORUS
Enemies embracing each other
All hatred is buried
Everyone is celebrating
Greeting everyone they meet
Let us rejoice indeed
For this is the day of Eid

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.

Fiyyashiyya (Live at Mawazine) – Sami Yusuf
أعمال قد تنال استحسانك
DESCRIPTION:
Composer Sami Yusuf’s mastery of musical languages dazzles in ‘L’Amour Vivant’.
The initial movement unfolds within the intricate geometry of the Baroque style,
a form that was imprinted on the composer’s soul during his upbringing in London
and that remains a cherished inspiration. From the start we hear the subtle
meeting of musical paths in the Arabic baladi rhythm that underlies the graceful melody.
The transition into the second movement transports the listeners to the heart of Sami Yusuf’s
other musical heritage, immersing them in the Central Asian Azerbaijani world.
The third movement revisits the Baroque sound before incorporating
the rich tonalities and nuanced rhythms of the Middle East and Persia,
seamlessly blending them into a sweeping soundscape.
The meditative sounds of the West African kora and the sensuous tones of the Chinese erhu then follow.
The final movement acts as a love letter to the world classical traditions encapsulated here,
skillfully weaving together the myriad emotions experienced throughout this journey in sound.
‘L’Amour Vivant’ is one of Sami Yusuf’s compositions from the second concert of his ‘When Paths Meet’ series.
It features The Sami Yusuf Ensemble, The Scoring Orchestra of Paris, The Métaboles,
and stellar soloists and specialist musicians in a stunning collaboration.
‘L’Amour Vivant’ is classical crossover at its most innovative.
Performed at the Paris Philharmonic.

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!

You & I – Lyrics:
You and I, we are the same
We win and lose in the game of life
You and I, we seek the truth
Looking for the signs in the Universe
In this journey we are companions
Struggling through what life throws our way
Chorus:
Why should a mother cry?
Why should a wife see her husband die?
Oh, tell me why do we have to fight?
Why don’t we try, just you and I?
Oh, why don’t we try?
You and I, we love our land
Protect our own against any harm
You and I dream of the day
When everybody will live in peace
In this journey we are companions
Struggling through what life throws our way
Chorus
Throughout history so many senseless wars
Yet we never learn, we’re building borders around us
But we still have a chance to heal our wounded world
Let’s get rid of hatred and see each other as we really are
Before it’s to late, who knows what tomorrow may bring
But without justice there’s no way that peace can exist

The way of love
Chosen to teach us the words of Allah
Mercy and kindness
And hope for everyone
Peace be upon you

Chorus:
You are the light
The guide of all life
You’re the essence of beauty
The best of mankind
Forever you’ll be

Can’t see your face
Your presence
Is always all around me
Your name’s on mind every single day

You are the way
The way of love
Chosen to teach us the words of Allah

And hope for everyone
Peace be upon you

You are the light
The guide of all life
You’re the essence of beauty

Can’t see your face
Your presence
Is always all around me
Your name’s on mind every single day
Peace be upon you

I Only Knew Love (Live at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music) – Sami Yusuf
Lyrics & Melody: Raef

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?

Waiting for the call – Lyrics:
Miles away, oceans apart
Never in my sight, but always in my heart
The love is always there, it will never die
Only growing stronger, a tear rolls down my eye
I’m thinking of the time
When the day will come
Standing there before You
Accept this Hajj of mine
Standing in Ihram
Making my Tawaf
Drinking blessings from Your well
The challenge of Safa and Marwa rekindles my Iman
Chorus:
O Allah I am waiting for the call
I’m praying for the day when I can be near the Ka’ba walls
I feel alive and I feel strong
I can feel Islam running through my veins
To see my Muslim brothers their purpose all the same
Greeting one another, exalting one true Name, Oh
I truly hope one day, everyone will get the chance
To be blessed with the greatest honour
Of being called to Your Noble House
Standing in Ihram
Making my Tawaf
Drinking blessings from Your well
The challenge of Safa and Marwa rekindles my Iman, Oh
Chorus
Labbayka Allahumma labbayk

“Ummati” Lyrics:
Shining bright you came to us
With a heart so full of love
And you showed that you’re
The one who cares the most
And to us you’ve always been so close
Everyone will say
Please save me
Except Al-Habib (the beloved)
Chorus:
أمتي، أمتي
Ummati, Ummati
(My nation, my nation)
يقولها لنا يوم القيامة
Yaquluha lana yawmal qiyamati
(He will say to us on the Day of Judgement)
أمتي، أمتي
Ummati, Ummati
(My nation, my nation)
يقولها شفاعة
Yaquluha shafa’atan
(He will say as an intercession)
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
Everyone will say
Please save me
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

How can I stop their corruption?

To the hearts that had no sight
In mercy he’s the ocean
While others are drops of rain.

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

AND SHINE A LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU HOME

Lyrics:
Gönüllärde hasretin var
Yüreklär ashkenla tcharpar
Sensiz Dünya bizlere dar
Seelam sana Ey kotlu yar
(Our souls long for you
Our hearts beat with your love
This world without you is unbearable for us
Peace and blessings upon you O Prophet)
With submission, faith and patience
You conveyed the noble “message”
Brought us light through your guidance
Peace be upon you my beloved
Ya habibi ya Muhammad
(Muhammad O my beloved)
Chorus:
Ya Nabi salam ‘alayka
Ya Rasool salam ‘alayka
Ya Habib salam ‘alayka
Salawatu Allah ‘alayka
(O Prophet peace and blessings be upon you
O Messenger peace and blessings be upon you
O Beloved peace and blessings be upon you
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you)
Teri mohabbat kee mehek se
Yeah zameeno asma abadh hain
Rehmat kee barsat aati hain
Dillo jaan ya rasoola Allah
(By the fragrance of your love
The earth and sky reside
You’re a monsoon of mercy
Beloved of my heart O Messenger of Allah)
Ayyuhal mukhtaru feena
Zaadanal hubbu haneena
Ji’tana bil khayri deena
Ya khitaamal mursaleena
Ya Habibi ya Muhammad
(O you who was chosen from amongst us
Our love has increased our longing for you
You came to us with everything good embodied in a religion
O Seal of all messengers
Muhammad O my beloved)

Lyrics:
When I was young
I was a fool
I was blind didn’t know any better
I was afraid I made too many mistakes
And You’d only look at me as a sinner
No matter how much I would try
All the walls I put up always shattered
Until Your mercy conquered me
O Allah
You know all of my
My insecurities
You keep them hidden far away
O Allah
You hide all of my
Sins and impurities
You call me back when I go astray
Whatever I did
Whatever I said that’s wrong
It was only because I was fed up
I thought I could do it all
That I was strong
But it turned out I wasn’t so clever
No matter how much I would try
All the walls I put up always shattered
Until Your mercy conquered me
Every time I reflect on Your blessings
Couldn’t thank You enough if I tried
If I praised You like the angels
Until the end of time
It’s not enough to deserve
All of Your love

Al-Amin – Lyrics:
When man was lost and could not see
You shone the light to set us free
You broke the chains of slavery
Everyone is equal before the Almighty
We say salam to Al-Amin (the trustworthy one)
You guided us to the perfect Deen (Way of Life)
Let’s say
Chorus:
Allah Allah ya Allah
Muhammad ya Rasool Allah (Messenger of Allah)
Allah Allah ya Allah
Muhammad ya Habib Allah (Beloved of Allah)
Your noble face always had a smile
You walked with grace gentle as a child
You taught us to be a mercy to mankind
To spread God’s peace throughout all the lands
We say salam to Al-Amin
You guided us to the perfect Deen
Let’s say
CHORUS
All my life I’ll try to stay strong
And stay true to your way
‘Cause I want you to be pleased with me
