Lyrics By – Sami Yusuf, Bara Kherigi*

Lyrics:
Every day I see the same headlines
Crimes committed in the name of the divine
People committing atrocities in his name
They murder and kidnap with no shame
But did he teach hatred, violence, or bloodshed? No… Oh No
He taught us about human brotherhood
And against prejudice he firmly stood
He loved children, their hands he’d hold
And taught his followers to respect the old
So would he allow the murder of an innocent child? Oh No…
Muhammad ya rasulallah
Muhammad ya habiballah
Muhammad ya khalilallah
Muhammad
Muhammad ya rasulallah
Muhammad ya shafi’allah
Muhammad ya bashirallah
Ya rasulallah
Muhammad the light of my eyes
About you they spread many lies
If only they came to realise
Bloodshed you despise

Lyrics – كلمات :
أنا الموجودُ
I am the existent
والمعدومُ
and the non-existent,
والمنفيُّ
the exiled
والباقي
and what remains,
أنا المحسوسُ
I am the perceived
والموهومُ
and the imagined,
والأفعاءُ
the lowly
والراقي
and the exalted,
يا حي، يا حي
O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living
فلا عينٌ
Neither eye
ولا بصرٌ
nor sight,
ولكنْ سرُّ
but the secret
آماقي
of the inner being,
ولا أجلٌ
Neither limited by death
ولا عمرٌ
nor span of life,
ولا فانٍ
there is nothing perishable
ولا باقي
nor enduring.
يا حي، يا حي
O Ever-Living, O Ever-Living
عندما أشرقت الشمس من أعماق الماء الأسود
When the sun rises from the depths of black water
يمكنك سماعها شيئًا فشيئًا، لا إله إلا الله
Listen carefully, from particle to particle, “there is no real but the Real”.
لا اله الا الله
“there is no real but the Real”.
ومن الماء والطين خرج ضباب قلب الإنسان مثل آدم
When the moon of the heart arose from water and clay, like Adam,
نزلت في البئر مائة شمس مثل يوسف.
A hundred suns descended into the well like Joseph.
نزلت في البئر
descended into the well
لقد اطفأته من الآن سأصمت، لأنه في صمتي،
From now on I will be silent, for in my silence,
سيتم فصل الحق عن الباطل، كما ينفصل الحب عن القش.
Truth and falsehood shall be separated, just like grain from straw.
كما ينفصل الحب عن القش.
just like grain from straw.
أنا الموجود
I am the existent
عندما أشرقت الشمس
When the sun rises
والمعدوم
and the non-existent,
والمنفي والباقي
the exiled and what remains,
لا اله الا الله
“there is no real but the Real”.
أنا المحسوس
I am the perceived
والموهوم
and the imagined,
والأفعاء والراقي
the lowly and the exalted,
ومن الماء والطين خرج ضباب قلب الإنسان مثل آدم
When the moon of the heart arose from water and clay, like Adam,
نزلت في البئر مائة شمس مثل يوسف.
A hundred suns descended into the well like Joseph.
والأفعاء والراقي
the lowly and the exalted,
لقد اطفأته من الآن سأصمت،
From now on I will be silent,
آه والراقي
and the exalted,
سيتم فصل الحق عن الباطل،
Truth and falsehood shall be separated,
أقبل الساقي علينا
The cupbearer came to us,
قدم الكأس إلينا
presented us with the cup,
فاحتسينا وارتوينا
And so we drank our fill,
من كؤوس الهاشمية
From the cup of generosity.

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.

فاعل الخير ( توزيع موسيقي فقط ) – سيف فاضل
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.
