Shirvanshah's Palace
‘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.

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

(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

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

Lyrics:
Tonight the world will sleep
But hunger will not wait
For promises we made
We share one soul
We share one land
We have one time to understand

We’ll have no regret
We will not forget
We are one humankind
Sisters side by side
We’ll have no regret
We will not forget

“Jannah” Lyrics:
I know that this life is only finite
The good and the bad times
Will all be left behind
As we make our way through this journey
To the finest place for infinity
Allah don’t deny me
Your Paradise
Chorus:
Jannah, Jannah
(Paradise, Paradise)
It’s all I ever wish for
This life is not eternal
But the next will last for ever
Jannah, Jannah
It’s all I ever wish for
O God please don’t deprive me
A blissful life eternally
Oh how I long for
The moment I see You Allah
And meet Muhammad (pbuh)
With all his companions
In the place no eye has ever seen
Filled with love, peace and tranquility
Don’t deny me Your Paradise
Chorus
One day all my deeds will be shown in front of You
No one will be beside me, I’ll be standing on my own
Blessing me with Your mercy is all I’m hoping for
O Allah make my wishes come true

The Centre:
Just as the centre of a circle draws together all the radii surrounding it into unity, The Centre brings together all of the crucial elements of the spiritual journey. Putting aside self-centred doubt and ungratefulness we come to understand that the Here and Now is the doorway between the limited and the Infinite, between time and Eternity. To pass through this doorway is ‘To find the key to all existence.’

lyrics:
Why am I in this place torn asunder by blight?
Shorn by the blades of inequity, drowned by darkness,
Immersed in the turbid waters of negligence and forgetfulness?
Question not why, but understand this simple truth:
Here is the Centre that is the Centre of all wheres,
Now is the moment at the heart of all times.
Ask not why here and now
But be in the here and now
Here is the Centre that is the Centre of all wheres,
Now is the moment at the heart of all times
Ask not why here and now
But be in the here and now
To find the key to all existence

Lyrics:
I’ve been dreaming of this world
Won’t you come along and dream with me?
It’s picture-perfect in my mind
Oh how I wish it would be real, oh real
No one living on the streets or digging for a bite to eat,
And pain and hunger are nothing, nothing but a memory
Let’s dream to make it real
Chorus:
Dream your biggest dream
If we dream enough together we can make it real
And lend a helping hand
What we keep won’t mean anything, once we’re gone
No abandoned women, struggling hard trying to make ends meet
No more missing fathers for their sons to be left all alone crying
Elders and children are all cared for lovingly
No one falling through the cracks of government bureaucracy
Let’s dream to make it real
CHORUS
Too many times I’ve walked through these streets
Wondering where we went wrong
Our hands alone can feel so helpless and weak
But surely with yours they’ll be strong
Our problems and fears will soon disappear
If we try hard enough they’ll all be gone
Brothers and sisters, it takes each of us
Together we can overcome!
We shall overcome

Lyrics:
One day this pain will leave me
Or maybe it never will
Right now it’s part of me
And it’s getting greater still
All I know it’s apart of the process
One I must go through
And I feel my time is coming
I still I have work to do?
Looking back at all my troubles
I’ve always seen a guiding light
Showing me the right way
What is wrong and what is right?
But to listen is so easily
When you’re going through your strive
But to listen ain’t so easily
When you have a troubled mind
Chorus:
‘Cause I’m facing my pain,
I’m not hiding way
I believe I’ll ..
See a brighter day
I’m facing my pain,
I’m not hiding way
I believe I’ll…
See a brighter day
Won’t you tell me all your secrets
Why you are crying in the night
Do you think the pain will leave you?
If you face it just mind
No more hiding in the shadows
No more hiding in the nights
If you face the pain it reach you
Then the world is yours tonight.
Chorus
But when I find my homeland
Then my mind it will be free
Chorus
I’m facing my pain,
I’m not hiding way ..
See a brighter day
Lyrics:
One day this pain will leave me
Or maybe it never will
Right now it’s part of me
And it’s getting greater still
All I know it’s apart of the process
One I must go through
And I feel my time is coming
I still I have work to do?
Looking back at all my troubles
I’ve always seen a guiding light
Showing me the right way
What is wrong and what is right?
But to listen is so easily
When you’re going through your strive
But to listen ain’t so easily
When you have a troubled mind
Chorus:
‘Cause I’m facing my pain,
I’m not hiding way
I believe I’ll ..
See a brighter day
I’m facing my pain,
I’m not hiding way
I believe I’ll…
See a brighter day
Won’t you tell me all your secrets
Why you are crying in the night
Do you think the pain will leave you?
If you face it just mind
No more hiding in the shadows
No more hiding in the nights
If you face the pain it reach you
Then the world is yours tonight.
Chorus
But when I find my homeland
Then my mind it will be free
Chorus
I’m facing my pain,
I’m not hiding way ..
See a brighter day

Lyrics:
O Allah the Almighty
Protect me and guide me
To your love and mercy
Ya Allah don’t deprive me
From beholding your beauty
O my Lord accept this plea
حسبي ربي جل الله
ما في قلبي غير الله
Wo tanha kaun hai
Badshah wo kaun hai
Meherban wo kaun hai
Kya unchi shan hai
Uskey sab nishan hai
Sab dilon ki jan hai
Affeder günahı
Alemin padişahı
Yüreklerin felahı
İşit Allah derdimi bu ahlarımı
Rahmeyle bağışla günahlarimi
Hayır eyle hem akşam hem sabahlarımı
يا رب العالمين
صل على طه الأمين
في كل وقت وحين
املأ قلبي باليقين
ثبتني على هذا الدين
و اغفر لي والمسلمين

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.

Lyrics:
I hear the flowers kind of crying loud
The breeze is sounding sad, oh no
Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside
Lost our way long time ago
Did we really turn that blind?
We don’t see that we keep hurting each other no
All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus:
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we’ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We could save the good spirit in me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for the beautiful world
The beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile
On the new bloody play grounds, oh no
How could we ignore heart breaking crying sounds
And we’re still going on like nobody really cares
And we just stopped feeling all the pain we cause
Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus
No matter how far I might be
I’m always going to be your neighbour
There’s only one small planet where to be
So I’m always going to be your neighbour
We cannot hide, we can’t deny
That we’re always going to be neighbours
Your neighbour, my neighbour, we’re neighbours

Lyrics :
There’s no fear in my heart
Got nothing left to lose
I saw my loved ones die
Oh, I swear that I won’t give in
By God you’ll never win
I’ll fight for what’s right
And nothing can stand in my way
Even if I get knocked down
I will stand my ground
And I’ll never
Hide or run away
Love will prevail
By God it will
Love will prevail
I refuse to fail
Love will prevail
Life’s become so cheap
So many orphans weep
They forgot how to smile
Oh, I cannot understand
Just how somebody can
Murder an innocent child
I swear their lives won’t be lost in vain
Even if I get knocked down
I will stand my ground
And I’ll never
Hide or run away
Love will prevail
By God it will
Love will prevail
I refuse to fail
Love will prevail
God made me free
You can’t take that away from me
Freedom is my destiny
I have a dream
And my dream is to see
To see all my people smile
See all of them free and proud
I feel the wind of peace
‘Cause with hardship comes ease
That’s why I won’t lose faith
And I know that God is Great
So, I’ll never
Hide or run away
Love will prevail
By God it will
Love will prevail
I refuse to fail
Love will prevail
I won’t run away
Love will prevail
By God it will
Love will prevail
I refuse to fail
Love will prevail

Lyrics:
What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me
My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity…
My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see…
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?
For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:
But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

You give breeze to the wheeling birds
Sustained high up in the sky,

In Your warmth we glorify.
You sent messengers to us, Lord,
Revealing Your word and light.
You taught the scale above the sword,
Your justice is all men’s right.

Your forgiveness is my plea.

One big family – Lyrics:
I wonder why you and me fight each other
Don’t you see the similarities between us?
Take a minute and see yourself in the mirror
You look like me: those eyes, lips – you can’t deny
Have you thought about
Why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
Just one big family
It doesn’t matter if you live far away from me
You feel I feel, you bleed I bleed, you cry and I cry
We sleep and dream
Sometimes we’re sad, sometimes we’re happy
You breathe I breathe
We love, walk, talk and we smile
Have you thought about
Why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don’t tell me it’s by chance
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
Just one big family
I care about you
And I wish you could realize
There’s no difference between us two
We’re part of one family
No matter how far you are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister
We’re one big family
Oh, you’re my brother
You’re my sister

Wa Ala Alihee Wa Sahbihee Wa Baarik Wasalim .
We are all full of sins today,
We have gone astray from the right way,
If we want Allah’s forgiveness,
Then we must say Ya Rasulullah.
The Ummah is split in so many ways,
Everywhere there is only chaos and pain,
If we want to revive the golden days,
Then we must love the Prophet again.
Our Prophet is the best of man,
He is the Master of us all,
We are Muslims because of Him,
For He is the only link to God.
He ruled all the corners of the world,
Yet there wasn’t a single drop of blood,
His message is only love and peace,
And it lives on in our hearts today,

وأرسل الأنفاس في النسيم
TASA’DU MITHLA QUBLATIN ILAIYYK
RISE LIKE A KISS TO THEE
تصعد مثل قبلة إليك
SO YOU MIGHT SEE
JUST WHAT YOUR LOVE HAS MEANT TO ME
AND WHAT THE COST OF LOSING YOU WOULD BE
NO I DON’T KNOW
WHERE I WOULD GO OR WHAT I’D DO
WITHOUT YOU
MY HEART WON’T BEAT
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE IN ME
MY EYES WON’T SEE
BEAUTY WITHOUT THEE
LOVES MELODY THAT YOU PUT IN ME
WOULD LEAD ME TO ONLY
SILENCE WITHOUT YOU
‘CAUSE I WOULD SEE
THE MAN I KNOW I USED TO BE
HOW I WAS LOST BEFORE YOU REACHED FOR ME
NO I DON’T KNOW
WHERE I WOULD GO
WHAT I WOULD DO
WITHOUT YOU

Lyrics:
SOFTLY YOU CALLED TO ME
OUT FROM THE SPACE BETWEEN
OUT FROM ETERNITY
WHERE LOVE WINDS A PATH UNSEEN
OUT OF THE WILDERNESS
YOU BECKONED MY EVERY STEP
I STUMBLED SOMETIMES AND YET
I NEVER ONCE LOOKED BACK
‘CAUSE I WOULD SEE
THE MAN I KNOW I USED TO BE
HOW I WAS LOST BEFORE YOU REACHED FOR ME
AND I DON’T KNOW
WHERE I WOULD GO
WHAT I WOULD DO
WITHOUT YOU
(ARABIC)
KAMITHLI QALBIN BAIYYNA NABDATAIYYN
JUST LIKE A HEART BETWEEN BEATS
كمثل قلب بين نبضتين
UHISU LA SHAIYY’A KAMA TARA
I WOULD FEEL NOTHING YOU SEE
أحس لا شيئ كما ترى
IDHA HARAMTANI MINNA-RRIDA
IF YOU TOOK YOUR LOVE FROM ME
إذا أحرمتني من الرضى
LA ADRI MA JADAWA-LHAYAT
I DON’T KNOW WHAT MORE WOULD LIFE MEAN
لا أدري ما جدوى الحياة
LA SAWFA TAJRI AKHIRUL-ANFAAS
I’D USE MY FINAL BREATH
لسوف تجري آخر الأنفاس
LI ANTIQA ISMUKAL-ALIYY WAL-ADHEEM
TO CALL OUT YOUR NAME AND LET

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
