Lyrics:
(ENGLISH)
Searched for the words
To describe your beauty
No matter how I tried
No word seemed worthy
Struggled to find
The right words for You
Words just fail to describe
What’s deep inside
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, wa Allahu Akbar
(URDU)
Zemmeen Aseman, Jinn-o-Insaa bhi
(Earth and the Heavens, Jinn and Mankind)
Teri taa’reefein, Kartey bayan sabhi
(All praise Thee)
Bekhud huey, Dono jahan hi
(So both worlds become intoxicated)
Ruh se nikley, Jab ye kalma…Subhan Allah…
(When the soul recites this one word…Subhan Allah)
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar
(FARSI)
Dar havaye To
(In Your remembrance)
Par migoshaayam
(I spread my wings)
Be omidi ke roozi
(In hope for the day)
Sooye To ayam
(I come to You)
Dar vasfe To
(In describing You)
Jomleha ra gashtam
(I searched sentences)
Kalameyi najostam
(I found no word)
Joz inke gooyam
(Except to say)
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar
(MALAY)
Ku mencari kata puji
(I searched for words to praise You with)
Buat menemani zikir hati
(Words to instill Your remembrance in my heart)
Namun tiada kalam yang pasti
(But no words are assuring enough)
Yang sesuci kalam ini
(As sacred as these)
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar

Lyrics:
I know I’m waiting
Waiting for something
Something to happen to me
But this waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Nothing in life is free
I wish that somehow
You’d tell me out aloud
That on that day I’ll be ok
But we’ll never know cause
That’s not the way it works
Help me find my way
My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I’ve lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong
I know I’m waiting
Yearning for something
Something known only to me
This waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Life is one mystery
I wish that somehow
You’d tell me out aloud
That on that day you’ll forgive me
But we’ll never know cause
That’s not the way it works
I beg for your mercy
My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I’ve lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong

Translation:
Remembering the beloved
we drank wine*;
we were drunk with it
before creation of the vine.
The full moon its glass,
the wine a sun circled by a crescent;
when it is mixed,
how many stars appear!
Our Lord, O our Lord!
If not for its fragrance,
I would not have found its tavern;
if not for its flashing gleam,
how could imagination picture it?
Time preserved nothing of it
save one last breath,
concealed like a secret
in the hearts of the wise ones.
Our Lord, O our Lord!
But if it is recalled among the tribe,
the worthy ones
are drunk by morn without shame or sin.
Be drunk one hour with it, and you shall have
All of time as your slave, at your command.
The one who lives sober in this world has not had a life,
And the one who dies not drunk has missed the mark.
Our Lord, O our Lord!

The Giants – 1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn Al-Haytham
‘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.

الرجاء | Hopefulness – Only Music
This powerful new composition begins with the haunting and resonant vocalizations of Sami Yusuf,
then adds instrumental, rhythmic, and vocal layers to create an epic unison section
that evokes the many-faceted aspects of the arc of Azerbaijan’s history. This piece features
stunning vocal solos by Sevda Alekperzadeh, Tayyar Bayramov, Samira Aliyeva, and a beautiful tar solo
by Sahib Pashazade that leads into the majestic outro.
Written in Bayāt-e Shīrāz mugham, its sweeping melody is inspired by the story of this region
from its earliest times to its hopes for the future.

The vocal and instrumental drones of this meditative piece in Shustar mugham resonate with echoes of Indian rags
and Middle East maqams. Featuring the vibrant voice of Sami Yusuf, its aim is to immerse the
listener’s spirit in contemplation.
Ateshgah, The Fire Temple, is an 18th century structure in Baku that speaks of the land’s Zoroastrian past.
