Lyrics:
ألا بِذكـــــــــرِكَ قلبـــــي يطمئــن
ALA BIDHIKRIKA QALBI YATMA’INU
WITHOUT DOUBT, IT IS IN YOUR REMEMBRANCE THAT MY HEART FINDS TRANQUILITY
وهل بغيرِ ذِكركَ قلـبُ المرءِ يرتـــاح
WA HAL BIGHAIYYRI DHIKRIKA QALBUL-MARI’ YARTAHU?
AND DOES A PERSON’S HEART FIND REST EXCEPT IN YOUR REMEMBERANCE?
فــأنت مُبــــدِعُ هذا الكــونِ أجمَعِه
FA ANTA MUBDI’U HADHAL-KAWNI AJMAI’HI
FOR YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
وأنتَ خـــالقُ من جاءوا ومن راحوا
WA ANTA KHALIQU MAN JAA’U WA MAN RAAHO
AND YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE AND ALL THOSE WHO DEPARTED
وأنت نـــور على نــــور
WA ANTA NOORUN ALA NOOR
YOU ARE LIGHT UPON LIGHT
في سجدةِ الحــبِ أجسادٌ وأرواح تخِرُ لـــــهُ
TAKHIRU LAHU FI SAJDATI-LHUBBI AJSAADUN WA ARWAHU
TO WHOM GO DOWN IN THEIR PROSTRATION OF LOVE BODIES AND SOULS
وأولٌ أنــتَ قبــلَ القبــل من أزلٍ
بالكـافِ والنـونِ يا ربــــاهُ فتــــاح
WA AWALUN ANTA QABLA-LQABLI MIN AZALIN , BIL-KAAFI WA-NNOONI YA RABBAHU, FATAAH
FOR YOU ARE THE FIRST, BEFORE ALL BEFORES, IN THE WHOLE CREATION; THE OPENER OF ALL WITH THE KAF AND NOON LETTERS
ونـــــورُ وجهِكَ بعدَ البعدِ في أبد
يبقـى جليـلاً كريـمًا وهو وضــاح
WA NOORU WAJHIKA BA’DA-LBA’DI FI ABADIN YABQA JALEELAN, KAREEMAN WA HOWA WADHAAHU
AND THE LIGHT OF YOUR FACE, AFTER ALL AFTERS, TILL ETERNITY, FOREVER REMAINS SUBLIME AND GENEROUS, WHILST ALWAYS BRILLIANT
رحمن رحيم منان كريم سلام عليم مجيد
RAHMANUN, RAHEEMUM, MANNANUN, KAREEMUM, SALAAMUN, ALEEMUN, MAJEED
MOST COMPASSIONATE, MERCIFUL, BESTOWER OF BLESSINGS, GENEROUS, THE SOURCE OF PEACE, ALL-KNOWING, MOST GLORIOUS
لا اله الا هو
LA ILLAH ILLA HU
THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT HIM
غفار جميل الوهاب لطيف تواب سميع البصير
GHAFFARUN, JAMEELUN, WAHAABUN, LATEEFUN, TAWAABUN, SAMEE’UN, BASEER
FORGIVER, MOST BEAUTIFUL, THE GIVER OF ALL, GENTLE, ACCEPTER OF REPENTANCE, ALL-HEARING, ALL-SEEING
لا اله الا هو
LA ILLAH ILLA HU
THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT HIM
وحيد قدير محي المميت الظاهر الباطن الغنی
WAHEEDUN, QADEERUN, MUHIYY, AL-MUMEET, AL-DHAHIRU WA L-BATIN, AL-GHANY
UNIQUE, THE OMNIPOTENT, THE GIVER OF LIFE, THE TAKER OF LIFE, THE MANIFEST ONE, THE HIDDEN ONE, THE ALL-RICH
لا اله الا هو، لا اله الا هو
LA ILLAH ILLA HU, LA ILLAH ILLA HU

Don’t despair, don’t lose hope
Hold on to that rope
Don’t let go, don’t let go
I hear your call
Though you feel so cold
Abandoned and alone
But don’t let go, don’t let go
I hear your call
CHORUS
Give me your hand my brother
I will not let you go
Please don’t look back my sister
I swear I hear you call
Give me your hand my brother
I will not let you fall
Please don’t look back my sister
Cause I swear I hear your call
Little boy ask away
“Where are the streets I used play to?”
But don’t let go, don’t let go
I hear your call
Don’t you know we’re One
When you hurt I hurt
Don’t let go, don’t let go
I hear your call

LYRICS | كلمات العمل :
شربنا على ذكرِ الحبيبِ مدامة ً
In memory of the Beloved
We drank a wine
سَكِرْنا بها، من قبلِ أن يُخلق الكَرمُ
With which we had been drunk
Before the creation of the vine.
لها البدرُ كأسٌ وهيَ شمسٌ يديرها
The full moon was its cup.
While the wine was a sun passed round
هِلالٌ، وكم يبدو إذا مُزِجَتْ نَجمُ
By a crescent, which when mixed,
How many stars appear!
مولانا
Mawlana
ولولا شذاها ما اهتديتُ لحانها
If not for its fragrance,
I would never have been guided to its tavern.
ولو لا سناها ما تصوَّرها الوهمُ
If not for its radiance,
Imagination could never picture it,
ولم يُبْقِ مِنها الدَّهْرُ غيرَ حُشاشَة ٍ
Time preserved nothing of it, but a fading breath,
كأنَّ خَفاها، في صُدورِ النُّهى كَتْمُ
As if its being hidden in the breasts of the wise were concealed.
وفي سكرة ٍ منها ولو عمرَ ساعة ٍ
If you are drunk with it for but one hour,
تَرى الدَّهْرَ عَبداً طائِعاً، ولَكَ الحُكْمُ
You will see time an obedient slave at your command.
فلا عيشَ في الدُّنيا لمنْ عاشَ صاحياً
For there is no life in this world for one who lives sober;
ومنْ لمْ يمتْ سكراً بها فاتهُ الحزمُ
And one who dies not drunk from it,
Resolution has passed him by.

Grounded’s Lyrics :
When my head is down
And my wounds go deep
I could still go on
If you’re there for me
Losing the crown
Would only keep me grounded
I know the fall
Could only keep me humble
Losing it all
Would only leave me grateful
I could take it
I would not break
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me
In a life before
Many years were bleak
But the highs were born
From the lows I’ve seen
Losing the crown
Would only keep me grounded
I know the fall
Could only keep me humble
Losing it all
Would only leave me grateful
I could take it
I would not break
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me
If you’re there for me
My gravity
So come on keep me grounded
Keep me on my toes
When I’m losing my head
Keep me grounded
Come on keep me humble
Let me lose control
As long as you’re there with me
I could free fall,
Losing the crown
Would only keep me grounded
I know the fall
Could only keep me humble
Losing it all
Would only leave me grateful
I could take it
I would not break
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me
If you’re there for me
Solid ground for me
If you’re there for me

Ibn Al-Haythams Adventure – 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.
