DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.

Lyrics:
IT’S A GAME, THAT THEY PLAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHERE ARE YOU IN MY DREAMS?
YOU FEEL SO CLOSE BUT SO FAR
WHEN ALL I WANT IS TO SEE
YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME
YOU MAKE ME CHASE AROUND
SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT
ONLY FOR THE SUNRISE
TO OPEN MY EYES
MAKES ME JUMP TO MY FEET
WALK AROUND THE CITY STREETS
HOPING THAT I’LL FIND YOU
BY MY SIDE.
THEN I FEEL YOUR SUNLIGHT
BEAUTIFUL AND SO BRIGHT
FEELING I’M IN YOUR ARMS
FOR A WHILE
HOURS PASS LIKE A BREEZE
MOVING THROUGH THE PALM TREES
HAND IN HAND YOU AND ME
WITH YOUR SMILE
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
(TURKISH)
SEN BENİM NAZLI YARİMSİN
YOU, MY DELICATE BELOVED
SEN BENİM GÖZBEBEĞİMSİN
YOU, THE LIGHT OF MY EYE
SANA GÖNÜLDEN BAĞLANMIŞIM BEN
TIED TO YOU, AT THE HEART
SEN SEVDİĞİM SEVDİCEĞİM
YOU ARE MY DEEPEST LOVE, MY BELOVED
BEN SENİ BİR GÜL GİBİ KOKLARIM
INHALING YOUR SCENT, JUST LIKE SMELLING A ROSE
AŞKINLA TUTUŞUR AŞKINLA YANARIM
BURNING INSIDE, WITH THE FIRE OF YOUR LOVE
HEP SENİ ARAR SENİ SORARIM
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR, AND ASK OF YOU
SANA VARMAK İÇİN HAYAL KURARIM
ALWAYS DREAM OF REACHING YOU
(URDU)
تیرا تصور میرا ہی سکوں ھے
TERA TASAWUR MERA HE SAKOON HAI
THE VERY MENTION OF YOU BECOMES MY TRANQUILITY
تیرا نام لینا میرا ھے جنوں
TERA NAM LEANA MERA HAI JANOON
TO TAKE YOUR NAME, IT BECOMES MY SANITY
وہ میٹھی باتیں تیری ھی سنوں میں
WOH METEE BATEIN TEREE HEE SOONOO MEIN
THOSE SWEET CONVERSATION OF YOURS I WOULD LISTEN TOO
دنیا برا مانے تو میں کیا کروں؟
DUNIYAH BOORA MAA NE THO MEIN KYA KAROO?
IF THE WORLD DEEMS THEM OFFENSIVE, WHAT DO I CARE?
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM
تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH

TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE LIKE THE AIR WITH WHICH I BREATHE
SO LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
IT’S THE SAME GAME THEY ALWAYS PLAY
I’LL TURN MY EARS THE OTHER WAY,
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE EITHER WAY
IT’S A GAME THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY
LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME

Shadowless’s 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, no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless no you don’t see me
Shadowless bright as I can be
Shadowless no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless
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
Shadowless, no you don’t see me
I shine but you’re
Shadowless no you don’t see me

Know that my love is
Limitless, Boundless, Waiting there for you
(I know) you think you don’t see me
(I know) you think you don’t hear me,

Know that my love is
Limitless, Boundless, Waiting there for you

Bowing before you
Sisters and brothers
All grateful to you
The more we learn to read your signs
That are concealed between the lines
The more were drawn towards the light
Open my eyes so I can see
The light of hope you sent to me
The rain that brings me back to life
Finding you
Is relief
Now we hope
Now we believe
Hear me Lord
Strengthen me
Guide me through
My journey

Lyrics:
We’re here on this special day

A day that brings the two of you
Close together
We’re gathered here to celebrate
A moment you’ll always treasure
Let’s ask Allah to make your love
Last forever
Chorus:
Let’s raise our hands
And make du’a
Like the Prophet taught us
And with one voice let’s all say
Baraka Allahu lakuma
Wa baraka ‘alaykuma

Fi khayr
(May Allah bless everything for you two
And shower His blessings upon the two of you
And may he bring you together
In everything that is good)
From now you’ll share all your joys
Through hardship support each other
Together worshipping Allah
Seeking His pleasure
We pray that He will fill your life
With happiness and blessings
And grant you kids who’ll make your home
Filled with laughter

Why won’t you listen to your heart?
When it speaks to you of truth
Why won’t you listen to the wind?
And all it has to say

At these stars above us
Isn’t not so plea to see?
With the beauty on it all
There’s something behind it all

Why won’t you look out at the ships in the sea?

Lyrics:
Things that I’ve said, no they don’t mean nothing at all
Time just flies by when I’m with the One I love
Even sunlight makes it through the dark, in a cold misty sky
And when I’m all alone tonight, You’ll be right here…by my side
Chorus :
No matter what what world brings
And even if the birds won’t sing
Better times are on their way
‘Cause I know You’re there
And even if the sun won’t smile,
I know it’s been a while
Since I’ve felt any light,
But I know You’re there
Good times, they never last, I wish they were around
Their time has past us now, still haven’t made a sound
Some folks are dying to live, and others live to die
And somehow when I think of You I smile deep inside!
Chorus
The grass was greener on the other side
The world turns gray now, are we out of time?
And when I lie alone and stare into the dark,
I’ll remember what You said as I watch the stars spark
I know it isn’t even time to talk…
But I know You’re right here by my side

Crazy’s Lyrics :
Staring at full moons
Lost in the mazes
Following footprints
Leaving no traces
Talking to myself
Words with no meaning
Walking through real life
Thinking I’m dreaming
Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
You made me you made me
Lose my mind
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
Ever since you let me
Drink from your wine
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
(So) fill up my cup one more time
Fill up my cup one more time
Stared in the sunlight
Only the one time
A moment of madness
Lasting a lifetime
Now I’m hearing noises
Taking me places
People and voices
All of them nameless
Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders
Crazy’s Lyrics :
Staring at full moons
Lost in the mazes

Thinking I’m dreaming
Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
You made me you made me
Lose my mind
You made me you made me
You made me crazy
Ever since you let me
Drink from your wine
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
Oooh Oooh Oh Oh
(So) fill up my cup one more time
Fill up my cup one more time
Stared in the sunlight
Only the one time
A moment of madness
Lasting a lifetime
Now I’m hearing noises
Taking me places
People and voices
All of them nameless
Eye of the storm
Right in the centre
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to shelter
Eye of the heart
Losing my senses
Love is a madness
That never surrenders

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.

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.

Lyrics:
صلى عليك الرحمانُ
أزكى الصلاة والسلام
يا ربي ارفع مقامه
دَومًا في كل مكان
سيّدي يا محمّد
حُبُّك روحُ الإيمان
يا ربي أرجو لقاءه
يومًا في دار السلام
Everywhere I hear your name being mentioned
The whole world is talking about you
And the thought of being part of your nation
I’m so proud to follow you
Day and night you sacrificed
Led us from darkness to light
And I,
Until the end of my time
I will love you
صلى عليك الرحمانُ

يا ربي ارفع مقامه
دَومًا في كل مكان
سيّدي يا محمّد
حُبُّك روحُ الإيمان
يا ربي أرجو لقاءه
يومًا في دار السلام
يا حبيبي.. حبيبي يا محمد
صلى عليك الرحمان
حُبّك في كل مكان
يا حبيبي.. حبيبي يا محمد
يا خيرَ الأنام
عليك أزكى السلام
صلى عليك الرحمانُ
أزكى الصلاة والسلام
يا ربي ارفع مقامه
دَومًا في كل مكان
سيّدي يا محمّد
حُبُّك روحُ الإيمان
يا ربي أرجو لقاءه
يومًا في دار السلام
يا مؤمنين
صلوا على النبيّ
وسلّموا تسليما
