lyrics:
Diliges proximum tuum tamquam te ipsum
[Translation: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’]
Love to give!
To give is love,
And love the gift,
The gift of love.
No belief!
Without the love,
Believe in love!
The belief of love.
None of you truly believes until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself.
[A saying of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)]
Love to give!
The gift of love,
Give the other,
All your love.
What a relief!
To give my love,
I am now you,
And you are my love!

The Gift of Love – Sami Yusuf
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
URDU
UMMEDON KO NA TODO
(Do not lose hope)
HAATH MERA THAAM LO
(Hold my hand)
TANHA NAHI SAMJHO TUM
(Do not consider yourself alone)
MERE APNE TUM HO…
(We are a family)
CHORUS
Give me your hand my brother
I will not let you fall
So don’t look back my sister
Cause I swear I hear your call
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
Nightshade blooming in my garden
Love I found on my way
Taking root when all was darkened
Scarred in me always
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land
In my mornings, waves have taken
What I thought was there
I left you in time forsaken
(With) flowers in your hair
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land

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)?

Palestine – Lyrics:
After all this time
She’s still there waiting for me
And no matter what life throws next
She’s still there, so clear to see ,oh
Some might wonder what love is
Some might say it’s just a fantasy
Maybe once it did exist
But now is a part of history
So long gone
But my love is real
She’s the source of every long night’s dream
And before waking I give her my heart
Chorus:
Palestine you’re all that I need
You’re my life, the air that I breathe
Palestine you’re my heart and its key, oh
For you I’ll give, with you I am free
Forever free
Like a new born baby
I hold her close and keep her warm
For her I can face anything
And stand firm in the wildest storm, oh
And despite all the pain, all the hard times
I only love her more
And don’t you know she’s my heart and my soul?!
Chorus
They keep trying to separate us with their lies
And to cast doubt about our love
Trying to say we could never last
But don’t they know that our love is older than time?!

LYRICS :
I praise Allah for sending me you my love
You’ve found your home it’s here with me, and I’m here with you
Now let me let you know
You’ve opened my heart
I was always thinking that love was wrong
But everything was changed when you came along, oh
And there’s a couple of words I want to say
Chorus:
For the rest of my life, I’ll be with you
I’ll stay by your side, honest and true
Till the end of my time, I’ll be loving you, loving you
For the rest of my life, through days and nights
I’ll thank Allah for opening my eyes
Now and forever I, I’ll be there for you
I know it deep in my heart
I feel so blessed when I think of you
And I ask Allah to bless all we do
You’re my wife, and my friend and my strength
And I pray we’re together in Jannah
Finally now I’ve found my self, I feel so strong
Yes everything was changed when you came along, oh
And there’s a couple of words I want to say
Chorus
And now that you’re here, in front of me
I strongly feel love
And I have no doubt, and I’ll sing it loud
And that I will love you eternally

“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

Lyrics:
They filled my path full of doubt
And wouldn’t hear me out
But still I chased my dreams
They told me to quit
But my heart could not resist
And from the darkness came a light
I will shine on tomorrow
Light the way for all to follow
From the darkness I will shine
Learning from the past I tried
To stare the world in the eyes
Find strength to pull me through
I saw through my tests and trials
A road that ran a thousand miles
At the end was only truth
I will shine on tomorrow
Light the way for all to follow
In the darkness I will shine
I will shine on forever
Take my chance now or never
In the darkness I will shine

And I will choose my destiny

I know we can if we believe

Circle:
The Circle is a symbol of many things to different people: purity, unity,
equality to name a few. There are no corners, no angles, just a pure arc that continues infinitely.
Inspired by the Sufi whirling dervishes, The Circle is another symbol in this album
that represents oneness with our physical presence on this earth and our spiritual presence beyond.

lyrics:
I see you in the wings that chase the night
Circling the warmth of candlelight
I hear you in the wind as the two poles spin
Whispering the truth your heart holds in
I feel you in the chill as the seasons turn
Laying down a seed, with its lessons learned.
The circle spins a perfect line
Free from borders, free from time
I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine
I feel you in the sand of the desert earth
You know my hunger, know my thirst
I hear you in the cry of distant rain
Coming back to answer the call again
I meet you in the centre of the sacred dance
Reminding me your truth is in my heart
The circle spins a perfect line
Free from borders, free from time
I close my eyes and clear my mind
The circle joins your love with mine

Paradise – Lyrics:
I remember when I first met you
I felt that God answered my call
There was that one place I always thought about
And I just wanted to be there with you
The place that no eye has ever seen
The place that no heart has ever perceived
I had a great feeling inside of me
That one day I’ll be there with you
And now that we’re here feeling so good
About all the things that we went through
Knowing that God is pleased with us too
It’s not a dream, this is so true
Feeling the peace all around
Seeing things we could never imagine
Hearing the sound of rivers flow
And we know we’ll be here forever
The feeling is indescribable
Knowing that this is our reward
Do you remember the hard times we went through?
And those days we used to argue
But there was not one thing that could bring us down
‘Cause we always had in our minds
The place that no eye has ever seen
The place that no heart has ever perceived
The place we’ve been promised to live in forever
And best of all, it’s just me and you
I remember us praying at night
And just dreaming about this together
I’m so blessed to have you in my life
And now we can enjoy these blessings forever
Paradise is where we are now
Paradise, a dream come true
Paradise, O what a feeling!
Paradise, thank You Allah!

Pearl:
As an album ‘The Centre’ takes us through a spiritual journey. ‘The Pearl’ is at the heart of this journey,
the hidden beauty that is revealed once we peel back these layers of self discovery.
Lying in darkness at the bottom of a deep ocean, protected by a hard shell,
The Pearl is waiting for anyone with the determination and patience to find it.

lyrics:
I spent a thousand sleepless nights
In wait of dreams I could not find
I walked a thousand empty roads
In search of signs to bring me home
With every breath I spoke your name
And heard it rolling in the waves
Beneath a veil of ocean blue
I broke illusion from the truth
You said, walk to me and I’ll find you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you
Music
And from the pulse beneath my skin
You called me to a source within
Where every layer revealed one more
A secret brighter than before
And at the heart there lay just one
The root of all that I’d become
I watched the surface start to break
Free of form, free of shape.
You said, walk to me and I’ll run to you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you.

Lyrics:
Look around your self
Can’t you see this wonder
Spread in front of you
The clouds floating by
The sky so clear and blue
Planets in their orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus:
Open our eyes, our hearts and minds
If we just look right, we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
And let it take us by surprise
Allah protect us in the best way
Allah guide us every single day
Allah keep us close to You
Until the end of time
Look inside your self
Such perfect order
Hiding in your cells
Running in your veins
What about anger, love, and pain?
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus
When a baby is born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching it growing
Why deny what’s in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life
We just have to
Chorus
Allah You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Rabb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You…
Allhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)

“One Day” Lyrics:
Lying here wide awake on my own now
Silence is the loudest cry
I’m safe but I’ve lost everything I’ve known
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where I’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again, oh
Chorus:
One day I can reach that rainbow
Watch the sweet reflection
Shining off my first home
I’d give anything to see my family again
And say how much I love them
That’s all I imagine
One day
I wish I could go back tomorrow
If it’s only for just one second
Put warmth back into a town that’s frozen
I can smile because the pain has gone
But cry because it’s where i’m from
O God I turn to You to make me strong again
CHORUS
I have cried so many times
And all those tears have washed my eyes
Now I see clearly into the light
‘Cause I believe
I know one day I’ll be home again
To start a new life, with peace everywhere
Right from the start until the end
I believe that one day
I can reach that rainbow
One day, one day
I believe that one day
One day
CHORUS
One day, one day
One day, one day

Lyrics:
My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we’ve strayed from him and his way
My brothers, my sisters, in Islam
Let’s struggle, work, and pray
If we are to
Bring back the glory of his way
Ya Allah ya rabbal alamin
Ya rahmanu ya rahim
Ya rabbi
O Allah Lord of the Worlds
O Merciful and Beneficent
O my Lord
Let the Ummah rise again
Let us see daylight again
Once again
Let’s become whole again
Proud again
‘Cause I swear with firm belief in our hearts
We can bring back the glory of our past
My ummah, my ummah
He will say
Rasulullah on that day
Even though we strayed from him and his way
Look at where we were
And look at where we are
And tell me
Is this how he’d want it to be?
Oh no! Let us bring back our glory
ya allah ya rabbal alalmin
ya rahmano ya rahem
ya rabbi
let the ummah rise again
ya allah ya rabbal alalmin
ya rahmano ya rahem
ya rabbi
let the ummah rise again
let us see daylight again
once again
