Veritas (Live at the Holland Festival)
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.

The vocal and instrumental drones of this meditative piece in Shustar mugham resonate with echoes of Indian rags
and Middle East maqams. Featuring the vibrant voice of Sami Yusuf, its aim is to immerse the
listener’s spirit in contemplation.
Ateshgah, The Fire Temple, is an 18th century structure in Baku that speaks of the land’s Zoroastrian past.

Lyrics & Translation:
مرّ طيفٌ بالمنامْ .. كانَ طيفَ مُحمدْ
A shadow passed through my dream, it was Muhammad’s shadow
ضِعْتَ مِنِّي يا كلامْ .. إِذ رأيتُ محمد
I was at a loss for words when I saw Muhammad
لم أقُلْ حتى: “سلامْ” .. ولِساني تَجَمَّدْ
I couldn’t even say “Salam” and I was tongue-tied
بل بكيتُ وانحنيتُ .. نحوَ نورِ محمد
I just cried and leaned, towards Muhammad’s light
يا محمد عليك الصلاةُ والسلام
O Muhammad upon you I send peace and blessings
حاضرٌ في خاطري دائمًا يا محمد
You are present in my thoughts at all times, O Muhammad
في صباحٍ ماطرِ رِيُّ قلبي محمد
On a rainy morning Muhammad quenches my heart’s thirst
في مساءٍ عاطرِ مددٌ ليس يَنفد
On a fragrant evening your help and kindness are never-ending
إن أُبلِّغْ عن فؤادي فحديثي محمد
Were I to convey my heart’s desire, all my words would be about Muhammad
يا محمد عليك الصلاةُ والسلام
O Muhammad upon you I send peace and blessings
لكَ عمري قد نذرتُ .. يا حبيبي يا محمد
I vow to dedicate my life to you, my beloved Muhammad
سأُلبِّي ما أمرتُ .. ولأضِعْ أو أُشَرَّدْ
I will follow your guidance no matter what happens
فإذا ما مِتُّ طِرْتُ .. يا فؤادي تَجَلَّدْ
And when I die, I will fly to you، O my soul, be strong!
سوف نَمضي سوف نَعْلُو .. سوف نلقى محمد
We will journey together, we will ascend, we will meet Muhammad
يا محمد عليك الصلاةُ والسلام
O Muhammad upon you I send peace and blessings

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

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?

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

Lyrics:
Chand taare hee kiya dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Par kay rooh-ul-amin soorah-e-waduha
Soorat-e-Mustafa dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Wo imamat kee shab wo saf-e-ambiya
Muqtadi muqtada dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Woh gaeye arsh tak aur rooh ul amin
Sidra tul muntaha dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Kiya khabar kis ko kab jaam e kauthar mila
Hum to unki ada dekte reh gaaye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Nek-o-bad par hua unka yaksan karam
Log acha bura dekte reh gaaye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Ho ke gum ey Naseer unke jalwon mein hum,
Shaan-e-rabul ‘ulaa dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Chand taare hee kiya dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye

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

(Translation and transliteration):
Na main momin vich maseetaan
Na main vich kufar diyan reetaan
Na main paakaan vich paleetaan

Not the pure amongst the impure Neither Moses, nor the Pharoh)

Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki

The Power Lyrics:-
Masisondele, masisondele haha phila nocolo yelele
(Let us draw nearer to perfect peace in life)
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
You can say it once
Or a hundred times or more
You’ll feel at peace inside
And it’ll open every door
Chorus:
That’s the power of remembering Allah
It’s the best way to purify your heart
And know you will be loved by the Merciful One
‘Cause that’s the power of remembering Allah
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
So much you can gain
Just by saying those few words
You can renew your faith
And be showered in rewards
CHORUS
La ilaha illa Allah (x3)
(There is no god but Allah)
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah wa’Allahu Akbar
(Glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
Masisondele kuy’uAllah
(We obey You Allah)
Ngokukhulu ukuzithoba
(With submission, we humble ourselves before You)
Sizothol’ ukuphila Noxolo
(So we may find peace and happiness)
CHORUS
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)

ز عشقت آنچنان مستم که دیگر خود نمی دانم
در این مستی بوم حیران و با این حال خاموشم
نه دوریت بود ممکن نه آغوش پر از مهرت
ز بوی زلف مشکینت ولی همواره مدهوشم
رخت بگشای ای ساقی که جانم در طلب باشد
بده یک جرعه زان باده برد هم دم و هم هوشم
در این دیر پر از محنت بسی سختی پذیرفتم
به این اندیشه تا روزی شراب معرفت نوشم
در این عالم تو را دارم تو را دارم به تنهایی
وصالت غایت عمرم در این ره همچنان کوشم
رخت بگشای ای ساقی که جانم در طلب باشد
بده یک جرعه زان باده برد هم دم و هم هوشم
در این دیر پر از محنت بسی سختی پذیرفتم
به این اندیشه تا روزی شراب معرفت نوشم
بود شور لقائت همچو آتش در درون من
در این آتش همی سوزم ولی فانی و خاموشم

Du’a (Turkish) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf

Lyrics:
(Translation and transliteration)
Ghonghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.
Terey bajh dewani hoi
Tokaan kardey luk sbhoi
Jeker yaar karey diljoi
Taan faryaad pukaar de haan
Without my love, I feel like mad,
People around me laugh at me.
He should come and cheer me up,
This alone remains my plea,
Ghonghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.
Muft dukandi jandi bandi
Mil mahi jind aweien jand
Eik dam hijr nahi main sahndi
Bulbul main gulzar de haan
Your slave is being auctioned free Come my love and rescue me
No longer can I perch elsewhere I am the Bulbul of your tree
Ghonghat ohley na luk sajna
Main mushtaq dedar de haan
Hide not behind the veil, my love,
I long to have a glimpse of you.
Bulleh Shah owh kon utam tera yaar
Ows dey hath Quraan hey owsey gul zanaar

He has the Quran in His hand and And in the same the holy thread

Lyrics:
(ENGLISH)
Searched for the words
To describe your beauty
No matter how I tried
No word seemed worthy
Struggled to find
The right words for You
Words just fail to describe
What’s deep inside
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, wa Allahu Akbar
(URDU)
Zemmeen Aseman, Jinn-o-Insaa bhi
(Earth and the Heavens, Jinn and Mankind)
Teri taa’reefein, Kartey bayan sabhi
(All praise Thee)
Bekhud huey, Dono jahan hi
(So both worlds become intoxicated)
Ruh se nikley, Jab ye kalma…Subhan Allah…
(When the soul recites this one word…Subhan Allah)
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar
(FARSI)
Dar havaye To
(In Your remembrance)
Par migoshaayam
(I spread my wings)
Be omidi ke roozi
(In hope for the day)
Sooye To ayam
(I come to You)
Dar vasfe To
(In describing You)
Jomleha ra gashtam
(I searched sentences)
Kalameyi najostam
(I found no word)
Joz inke gooyam
(Except to say)
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar
(MALAY)
Ku mencari kata puji
(I searched for words to praise You with)
Buat menemani zikir hati
(Words to instill Your remembrance in my heart)
Namun tiada kalam yang pasti
(But no words are assuring enough)
Yang sesuci kalam ini
(As sacred as these)
Subhan Allah, Wa alhamdulillah, la illaha il Allah, Wa Allahu Akbar

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.

Hz. Aişe Lyrics:
Ayın ışığı kıskanır seni
Sen ümmete anne oldun nebiye sevgili
Aişe, yoldaşın senin habibin Resulullah
Hidayetinle müjdeler seni
Kelamın nuru sardı kutlu ilmini
Senin gibi sadık bir kalbi görmedi dünya
Aişe, sen Aişe Ümmetin kalbindesin
Kelamın nuruna şehadet edenlerdensin
Kalbi pak olan, zikri hak olan
Resule sevgili sensin
İlmindedir senin kerametin
Mü’minlere lider oldu ferasetin
Aişe, rehberin senin habibin Resulallah
Güzel ahlak senin emanetin
Şehadetinin gölgesinde sen hidayeti
Buldun, her bir ayeti eyledin yoldaş
Aişe, sen Aişe Ümmetin kalbindesin
Kelamın nuruna şehadet edenlerdensin
Kalbi pak olan, zikri hak olan
Resule sevgili sensin

DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.
This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry
as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music
to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales.
Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated
as in an intricate conversation with one another.
Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision
and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words.
Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics),
Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics),
Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics).
Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra,
and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.
