Lyrics:
Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me
Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you
Turkish:
Ben derdimi kime söyleyeyim
Sensiz ana
Senin kadrini hic bilemedim ben
Aziz ana
Resul buyurdu;
Cennet analarin ayaklari altinda
Senin hayalin aklimda,
ruhumda, ruyalarimda
Sen gittiginde canim gitti,
Ayrilik bir yaman dertti,
Dunya bana cefa etti,
Benim aziz anam
Aglarim ben bulut gibi,
Dilimdesin sarki gibi,
Gunahlarim derin derin
Hakkini helal et ana
To whom will I tell my sorrow
in your absence, mother?
I didn’t know your real value, my beloved mother
The Messenger (pbuh) said
“Paradise is under the mothers’ feet”
Your image is in my heart, my soul, and my dreams
When you left, my soul left
Our separation was painful
The world gave me pain
and sorrow my beloved mother
I cry like a cloud
You are like a song on my tongue
I’ve wronged you countless times
Forgive me mother

Lyrics:
O People!
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day
O People!
Somewhere dark and out of the way
AIDS has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Durban,
For our sisters in Darfur,
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there,
Nice and cowzy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (2x)?
You might ask yourself:
“Why should I help these people?”
They’ll tell you why:
“We’re not so different from you.
We have dreams just like you,
But they were buried with the
Bodies of our loved ones.”
O People!
Are we dead, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?
O People!
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach but we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia,
For our sisters in Rwanda,
Show me what we’re going to do,
Are we just going to sit there
Nice and cozy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer (4x)?

Lyrics:
Aa mil yaar saarley, Meri jaan dikhaan ney gyheri
Come my love take care of me, I am in great agony
Ander khawab vchora hoya, Khabar na payndi teri
Soni ban wich luti saiyaan, Soor palang ney gheyri
Ever separated, my dreams are dreary
Looking for you, my eyes are weary
All alone I am robbed in a desert
Waylaid by a bunch of way words
Mullan Qazi rah batawaan, Deen dharam dey pherey
Aye taan thag jugat dey jhaar, lawaanjaal chufereey
The Mullah and Qazi show me the way
Their maze of Dharma that is in sway
They are the confirmed thieves of time
They spread their net saintly crime
Karam sharo dey dharam batawan
Sangal pawan pereen Zaat mazhab yeh ishq na pochdaa
Ishq shara da weri
Their time-worn norms are seldom right
With these they chain my feet so tight
My love cares not for caste or creed
To the rituals of faith I pay no heed
Nadioon paar aye mulk sajan da
lehar lobh ney gheri Satgor beri perhi khalotey
Ten kion lai aweri
My Master lives on yonder bank
While I am caught in the gale of greed
With boat of anchor, He stands in wait
I must hasten, I can’t be late

Mawlaya – Lyrics:
Bu yürek hep senle varolur yalniz senle coşar
Dile gelse tüm şiirler söylenmemiş şarkilar
Yine bendeki aşki anlatamazlar asla
Senden uzak olan gönüller dolar yasla
Sen aldığım nefes duyduğum ses aşk-i heves
Sensiz karanliklar aydinliğa eremez
İki cihanda sensin alemler efendisi
Şefaat eyle asla yalniz birakma bizi
Sen beklenen müjdelenen en kutlu peygamber
Sen merhamet ve şefkatinle bizlere rehber
Aşkinla hep çarpan yürekler nuruna muhtaç
Sen ruhlarin tabibi gönüllere ilaç
Ya resulallah
Ya habiballah
Muhammed-i muhabbete garkeylesin Allah

Neredesin – Lyrics:
Ben ararken sende buldum kendimi
insanlığın, dert eyledim derdini
Işığınla aydınlıktır her yanım
Uğruna olsun feda bu canım, canım
Yüreğimi sardı yine hüzün
Gidişin var ya hep boğulu gözüm
Senle var oldu özüm
Senle hayat bulur sözüm
Neredesin, nerede o gülen yüzün
Dünya fani her şey bomboş ve yalan
Nefsim derki, sefani sür oyalan
Bitsin rüya artik uykudan uyan
Feryadımı yokmu duyan gel uyan
Yüreğimi sardı yine hüzün
Gidişin var ya hep boğulu gözüm
Senle var oldu özüm
Senle hayat bulur sözüm
Neredesin, nerede o gülen yüzün
Gel yetiş imdadıma
Merhem ol yaralarıma
Sen ümit ışığımsın
Bir tek gönlümü sana bağlamışım

Allahu – Lyrics:
Chorus:
Jahan bhi dekun Allahu
Har khayal har guftugu
Jahan bhi jaoon Allahu
Mileen mujhae har manzilaen
(Wherever I look Allah is there
In every thought and every conversation
Wherever I go Allah is there
I’ve reached my journey’s end)
I’ll keep on searching; I know I’ll find Him
He is beside me; He’s always close to my heart
Always in my heart; we are never far apart
I always think of Him when I feel I cannot go on
Chorus
I’ll keep on moving; with every step I take
I’ll feel Him closer; I’ll never lose my way
I always turn to Him when my faith is wearing thin
I always remember He is Al-Baseeru (the All-Seeing)
Chorus
I’ll keep on praying for Him to guide me
I won’t lose my patience, believers always come through
Always there for me, especially in my time of need
I raise my hands and I know He’s listening to me

Lyrics:
THIRSTY AS A DESERT’S PAIN
I MISS YOUR TOUCH LIKE POURING RAIN
WHEN CLOUDS COME IN THEY CRY ALL NIGHT
AND GIVE ME TEARS TO FILL MY EYES
THE FOOTPRINTS THAT YOU LEFT HAVE STAYED
ABOVE THE SAND BENEATH THE WAVES
LONG AFTER TIME HAS LET THEM GO
I’LL WAIT FOR TIDES TO GUIDE YOU HOME
DIZZY AS THE TEA I BREW
MY MIND STIRS ROUND WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
AND LIKE THE MELTING SUGAR CUBES
YOU DISAPPEARED AND LEFT ME TO
YOUR FACE AND FORM IS ALL I SEE
IN SILHOUETTES OF SCOLDING STEAM
AT NIGHT THE KITCHEN CANDLES GLOW
AND SHINE A LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU HOME
(AZERI)
KÜÇƏLƏRƏ SU SƏPMİŞƏM
I HAVE THROWN WATER INTO THE STREET
YAR GƏLƏNDƏ TOZ OLMASIN
MY BELOVED IS COMING, SO THERE MUST NOT BE DUST
ELƏ GƏLSİN, ELƏ GETSİN
LET HER COME, LET HER GO
ARAMIZDA SÖZ OLMASIN
BUT LET THERE NOT BE WORDS BETWEEN US
FAR AWAY AND ALL ALONE
I TRUST IN STARS TO GUIDE YOU HOME

Sous ses draps blancs je les entend
Tous ses cries des larmes parents
Qui viennent pleurer leur unique enfant
Le hasard est venu pour moi
Ne me demandez pas pourquoi
Il frappe toujours soudainement
Mon cœur s’arrête tout doucement
Je n’entends plus ses battements
Le temps s’arrête fatalement
Pourquoi faut-il tant de larmes
Pourquoi faut-il tant de drames
Il est temps de poser les armes
Ma vie a-t-elle été accomplie?
Ma vie a-t-elle été bien remplie?
Maintenant il est vraiment trop tard
Je suis tout prêt du grand départ
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin
Pour accomplie notre destin
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main
Père maintenant, il est l’heure
Personne ne me l’avait prédit
Ai-je vécu en harmonie?
Ai-je été un bon prêcheur?
Ai-je été d’un bon soutien?
Pour protéger tous les miens
Ma famille est là réunie
Tout autour de moi, elle prie
Je sens son souffle chaud qui me frôle
Mes amis me portent sur leurs épaules
Personne ne m’entend, ne me comprend
On me descend tout doucement
A dieu à vous tous mes frères
On me recouvre de cette terre
Alors, je repose tout seule
Enfin, c’est le temps du deuil
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin

Ai-je été un bon prêcheur?
Ai-je été d’un bon soutien?
Pour protéger tous les miens
Ma famille est là réunie
Tout autour de moi, elle prie
Je sens son souffle chaud qui me frôle
Mes amis me portent sur leurs épaules
Personne ne m’entend, ne me comprend
On me descend tout doucement
A dieu à vous tous mes frères
On me recouvre de cette terre
Alors, je repose tout seule
Enfin, c’est le temps du deuil
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin
Pour accomplie notre destin
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main

Pourquoi les hommes pleurent – Ahmed Bukhatir
The lyrics of this song come from the poetry of the 14th century mystical poet Nasimi, who was one of the first literary figures to compose in Azerbaijani. The composer sets an ecstatic mood in this new piece in Shur mugham that evokes Sufi ceremonies through high-energy percussion and dazzling avaz sections. The musical narrative is majestic, powerful, and intensely beautiful.

Nasimi – Sami Yusuf
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence is a breathtaking musical odyssey through a rich
artistic and cultural heritage. The music was composed, arranged, and directed by Sami Yusuf
for the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
in Baku on June 30, 2019. The performance was directed by the renowned creative director Andrei Boltenko.
This newly created cultural treasure comprises nine themes; each theme
expresses an aspect of the ethos of Azerbaijan from the land’s earliest
inhabitants some twenty thousand years ago to its contemporary realities and aspirations.
With fifty-seven highly skilled musicians under his direction,
Sami Yusuf displays his mastery of a complex musical language while
staying true to the traditional sounds of the region. The instruments
used (except the piano) are traditional instruments from the region including the tar,
an instrument so significant that it is said to have taken a role in shaping
the cultural identity of Azerbaijanis; the kamancha, the stringed instrument related to the Byzantine
lyra and European violin family; and the balaban, a double-reed ancient wind instrument with a plaintive, solemn sound.
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence mesmerises with its dazzling musical range
from the subtle to the powerful and from the evocative to the majestic.
It is the soundscape of a region that displays an underlying universality.
These inspired compositions by this renowned musician evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners
no matter their cultural origin.

Chorus:
Allahi Allah kiya karo
Dukh na kisee ko diya karo
Joh duniya ka malik hai
Nam usee ka liya karo
Allahi Allah
(Say always in remembrance Allah O Allah
Do not give anyone sorrow or despair
For He is the sovereign king of the whole world
Take only His name
Allah O Allah)
Just like a sunrise
Can’t be denied no
Just like the river
Will find the sea
O Allah, you’re here
And You’re always near
And I know without a doubt
That You always hear my prayer
Chorus
So many bright stars
Like diamonds in the sky, Oh
It makes me wonder
How anyone can be blind
To all the signs so clear
Just open your eyes
And I know without a doubt
You will surely see the light
Theri hi dunya
Theri zameen
Yeh kahekashan hai
Thu hai Karim
Mere….Maula
Sunle dhua
Hum bebas hain
There bina
Roshan kar jahan
(This is your world
This is your earth
This is your sky
You are generous
My Lord, hear my prayer
We are helpless without you
Illuminate the earth)

For He is the sovereign king of the whole world
Take only His name
Allah O Allah)
Just like a sunrise
Can’t be denied no
Just like the river
Will find the sea
O Allah, you’re here
And You’re always near
And I know without a doubt
That You always hear my prayer
Chorus
So many bright stars
Like diamonds in the sky, Oh
It makes me wonder
How anyone can be blind
To all the signs so clear
Just open your eyes
And I know without a doubt
You will surely see the light
Theri hi dunya
Theri zameen
Yeh kahekashan hai
Thu hai Karim
Mere….Maula
Sunle dhua
Hum bebas hain
There bina
Roshan kar jahan
(This is your world
This is your earth
This is your sky
You are generous
My Lord, hear my prayer
We are helpless without you
Illuminate the earth)
Chorus

Maşaallah – Lyrics:-
Biz aşka inandık
Bir ömür boyu dedik
Gülsün yüzümüz ve asla
Sonu gelmesin istedik
Nasib etsin hak herkese mutlak
El ele hep huzura koşmak
Biz iyi kötü her günde and içtik sevgiye,
Emelimiz layık olmak ebedi sevgiliye
Nasib etsin hak, herkese mutlak,
El ele, hep huzura koşmak
Chorus
Saadetimize nazar uğramasın,
Hep birlikte, Maşaallah
Diyelim diyelim esirgesin Allah
Hep birlikte, Maşaallah
Diyelim diyelim esirgesin Allah
Hep birlikte gelin sizde dua edelim,
Bu güzel bu özel, bu temennilere amin diyelim
Nasib etsin yüce rabbim bunu her kuluna,
Muhabbetle ömür sürüp hep gülsün yarına

Lyrics:
Malayalam Verse:
Jeevante nritham pole
Like the seasons of nature and life
Ororo poovum pullum neele
On your path to success, every plant and flower that acts as an umbrella
Theeratha kavyam theerpu
Life is like an eternal poem
Aa vinnil suryan porum
The Morning sun that shines your day
Ravakum tharajalam pookum
As well the stars that lit the sky for you
Kalathin thalam kelkan va
To let you hear the rhythm of life
Venal marum varsham peyyum
Come and witness the summer move aside for the rain to drop
Ushasandhyakalayi manasse padu
After the darkest night comes dawn
Thalarathe naam Thudaram yathra
so never back down and continue the journey
Hindi Verse:
Ye Subha Mein Ujala
This Brightness in the Morning
Ye Machalti Shaam Ka Roshan Tara
is like a glistening star on a fancy night
Kehta Hai Tu Bhi Aaa Jagmaga
that says “come and shine with me”
Ghani Hain Ye Rahen
The ways are thick
Judi Aise Jaise bahen
Combined as two arms
Manzil Pe tum gum Na ho Jana
Our point of destiny won’t be lost
Qadam Badha
Step Forward
Bulandi Pe Jaa
Reach the heights
Sapnay Tu Saja
Build all your dreams
Jalway tu Dikha
Come out in flying colors
Aman Ko Jaga
Bring peace
Ghamon Ko Bhula
Forget all the hardships

Sari Gelin (Live at the Dubai Opera) – Sami Yusuf
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.
