Ala Bi Dhikrika – 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:
What do you see?
Tell me what do you taste?
Tell me what do you hear
when I whisper your name?
You see through my eyes
and turned me away
In madness you’d spiral
if I did the same
Oh my love I’m waiting
Oh my love I’m calling
Oh my love I’m yearning
I shine but you’re
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be

Shadowless bright as I can be
Shadowless no you don’t see me

Memories you took
like grapes off the vine
In citrus, in sweetness
with you all the time
You tasted my love
and turned me away
Your tears would make oceans
if I did the same
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
Shadowless, bright as I can be

On a clear and moonlit night
In the dark cave of Hira
A man began to cry
Oh Allah show me the light
Tell me why I was created
Where will I go after I die?
What’s the purpose of this life
Where people murder and lie?
How can I stop their corruption?
Oh Allah You’re my only Guide.

His speech was gentle and kind

Mankind lived in the darkness
Everyone alive was just blind

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

موسيقى ١ ( البوم فك الكلابش ) – محمد عباس
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.

شوقا إليه ( توزيع موسيقي ) – عبدالله الجويبر
‘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.

Prelude to River of Paradise – Sami Yusuf
This new arrangement of a much-loved Novruz song in Chargah mugham is inspired by traditional Azerbaijani music. The festive sounds of percussion and zurna reflect the joyous spirit of the day.
Novruz — the day of the vernal equinox — is the jubilant holiday that celebrates rebirth, renewal, fertility, and the return of spring.

كلمات العمل :
كن متقناً تجد الحياة جميلةً بعطائها
كن متقناً تلقى بنفسك فرحة تحيا بها
كن متقناً تجد الحياة جميلةً بعطائها
كن متقناً تلقى بنفسك فرحة تحيا بها
اجعل لنفسك بصمةً في كل امرٍ إننا
ننمو ونزهو حين تتقن بالعطاء أكُفنا
لا مستحيل لباذلٍ بالجهد اتقن ما يريد
لا مستحيل لمن سعى يعطي إذا طُلبَ المزيد
كن متقناً تسمو بروحٍ مُيّزَت بجمالها
كن متقناً ومكافحاً ومسارعاً لندائها
كن متقناً تسمو بروحٍ مُيّزَت بجمالها
كن متقناً ومكافحاً ومسارعاً لندائها
اتقاننا ورُقينا حضارةٌ وبها النما
هي رؤية لديارنا بها الفؤاد ترنما
لا مستحيل لباذلٍ بالجهد اتقن ما يريد
لا مستحيل لمن سعى يعطي إذا طُلبَ المزيد
أتقن فإنك إن تُرِد حُسناً
يكُن لك ما تريد
والله أوصى إن عَمِلتَ
بأي شيءٍ أن تُجيد
