When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival)
أناشيد الألبوم


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.

Veritas (Live at the Holland Festival) – 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.

DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.
Written by the Moroccan poet
Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century

Fiyyashiyya (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf


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

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.

I Only Knew Love (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf


About the Performance
Sami Yusuf’s instrumental composition ‘The Meeting’ is an intimate
and deeply personal work. Direct and non-linear, the melodies,
rhythms and vocalisations sustain and support
one another flawlessly as the music moves fluidly between the Western
aeolian mode and the Persian dastgah shur. Solos by Sami Yusuf on tar,
Guo Gan on erhu, and Asad Khan on sitar circle each other
to create an embracing ambience where each melodic line is a subtle gem,
strong and fragile in equal measure.

latest release, ‘One.’ Recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022,
this piece showcases exceptional artistry from Cappella Amsterdam,

rhythms of Andalusian, North African and Middle Eastern instruments including the ney,

The German words by Meister Eckhart and Arabic poetry by Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari

We go ‘round in a figure 8
Touched you once but I could not stay
Magnetised I go ‘round again
Cross your path then I’m torn away

You said remember me
And I’ll remember you

You said come back for me
And I’ll come back for you
I keep on aching
knowing you’re waiting
In an endless love
there’s just no end of
I’ll keep on chasing
Figure eighting
In an endless love
There is no end of

We go ’round in a figure 8
Two lines play in a circle game
Infinite I go ‘round again
A union that I cannot break

“More Than Me And You” Lyrics:
I’m scared to death but I’m happy
I don’t know what to do
You came to me and said,
“Babe, guess what?! I think our dream’s finally coming true!”
A tiny gift from heaven
I can’t believe it’s real
A test for us to relish
this new love that we feel
Chorus:
And now our hearts are sealed together
And now our lives will change forever
I thank God for that tiny beating heart,
A love so true
I guess it’s gonna be more than me and you
I’ll take good care of your taste buds
And learn to count in weeks
While you keep you her warm from this worldly storm,
I’ll sing you both to a cozy sleep
A soul we’ll share between us
with His guidance from up above
There’s an angel growing,
And it’s got you glowing,
With noor from all His love
CHORUS
I’m counting my blessings from the moment that I met you
And patiently waiting for our dream to come true
It’s already written, so I prayed for you and me
And whatever happens : It’s Allah’s mercy
CHORUS x 2

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
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
(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
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

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
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME
THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY

lyrics:
I’ve been through sunshine
Made friends with the moonlight
Traveled the ancient lands
And sailed across the seas
I’m free when I think and fight for what’s right
Ain’t nobody gonna tread on me
A place I’d call mine and yours forever
This land was made for you and me, yeah!
Chorus:
Ain’t no place like home, they say
Home is where that heart is, home is where your love is
Ain’t no place like home where I’ll be me, me, me, yeah!
Ain’t no place like home, they say
Home is where that heart is, home is where your love is
Ain’t no place like home where I’ll be free, free, free, yeah!
Our lakes they praise the Great
Through the Mississippi valley
Our smiles they shine from sea to sea
In Him we’ll all trust, be free forever
Home of the brave is where I’ll be
From York that’s all new, to the city of Angels,
God bless this land for you and me, yeah!
CHORUS
All I know is: Love can feel so good
When we know it brings us close to
Home-sweet-home where
Your mind can set you free… Yeah!

“Let It Go” Lyrics:-
Life can be so hard sometimes
Break you up inside
All you want to do is cry
Shut the door and hide
Don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start
Chorus:
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Giving up should never be
Something you decide to do
Wipe the tears from your cheek
God knows what you’re going through
So don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start, yeah
CHORUS
I know it’s hard but believe and keep trying
And it will be okay
‘Cause in your heart is the strength to survive it
You will be okay
And in no time like the sun you’ll be shining
Just let it go away

Let it go away, let it go
Oh, let it go

When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf


‘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:
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
WA URSILAL-ANFAAS FI-NNASEEM
THAT BREATH UPON THE BREEZE
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

Lyrics:
You came to me
In that hour of need
When I was so lost
So lonely
You came to me
Took my breath away
Showed me the right way
The way to lead
You filled my heart with love
Showed me the light above
Now all I want
Is to be with you
You are my one true love
Taught me to never judge
Now all I want
Is to be with you
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyinda Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
You came to me
In a time of despair
I called on you
You were there
Without you
What would my life mean?
To not know the unseen
The worlds between
For you I’d sacrifice
For you I’d give my life
Anything…
Just to be with you
I feel so lost at times
By all the hurt and lies
Now all I want
Is to be with you
Allahumma Salli ‘ala Sayyinda Mustafa, ‘ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
Showed right from wrong
Taught me to be strong
Need you more than ever
Ya Rasul Allah
You came to me
In that hour of need
Need you more than ever

Lyrics:
I was so far from You
Yet to me You were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes
To all the signs You put in my way
I walked every day
Further and further away from You
Allah You brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take
Chorus:
Alhamdu Lillah, Alhamdu lillah
All praise is to Allah, All praise is to Allah
I never thought about
All the things You had given to me
I never thanked You once
I was too proud
To see the truth
And prostrate to You
Until I took the first step
And that’s when You opened the doors for me
And now, Allah, I realise what I was missing
By being far from You
Chorus
Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
Indeed You gave me hope
Oh Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost
You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I want to thank You
For bringing me home

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

There’s faith in my world
It comes back to your teachings and all your words
From your life I have learnt
To be patient and caring at every turn
The reason I’m strong
You’re where I belong
In a world spinning out of control
The reason for my pride
You are my guide
And I will always follow your way
Your way, your way, oh!
Chorus:
‘Alayka salla Allah O Muhammad
(May Allah’s salutations be upon you O Muhammad)
Peace & blessings on you every day
‘Alayka salla Allah O Muhammad
You inspire me in every way
I promise that wherever I go
Whenever I pray
I’ll be sending you praise
With the words that I say
Rasulallah (Messenger of Allah), O Muhammad
Peace & blessings on you every day
There’s light in my heart
Helps me find my way back when I’ve gone too far
When all my anger makes me blind
I remember you’re a mercy for all mankind
The reason I forgive as long as I live
In a world spinning out of control
The reason I love, I’ll never give up
And I will always follow your way
Your way, your way, oh!
I know the only thing I want from this life
And it’s to follow all your footsteps to Paradise
So that’s the way I’m going to spend all my time
Yes I swear, by Allah I swear!

Lyrics:
When it’s cold outside
And a rain is coming down
And the people has you buying
You don’t make innocent
You left home a long time ago
‘Cause you won’t ever let go
Because your pride steals the show
You know always have a lone
But you won’t have to feel alone
You’re distrying to give up
But there’s something there don’t feel right now
And it’s here frost from you now
One that you’ve filled inside
It’s now it comfort from you denied,
The siling moment can’t repaint,
Waiting for the time and navy sealed,
Will you ever change your way?
I know you’ll always have a lone
But you won’t rather to be alone

Shining bright you came to us

The one who cares the most
And to us you’ve always been so close
Everyone will say
Please save me

Ummati, Ummati

يقولها لنا يوم القيامة
Yaquluha lana yawmal qiyamati

أنا لها، أنا لها
Ana laha ana laha

No on else on that day can intercede

“Live It Up” Lyrics:
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
De Copenhague hasta el caribe
(From Copenhagen to the Caribbean)
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
Say I never settle for less
So triple down on, on positivity
Dark clouds they come and they go all the time
My eyes on the prize so I pay them no mind
And always give it my best
Say I gotta get up and get on my way
Leave the negativity way behind me
Say I’ll never settle for less
Sometimes it seems that we gotta lose it all
Before we can see that nothing lasts forever
Risk it all for love, love is from above
And my life, my life, my life is for You
So I’mma live it up
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
Y sincera es la música
(And sincere is the music)
I’mma live it up
Con amor verdadero
(With true love)
Vamos pa’ lante
(Let’s go forward)
Have you ever, ever been in doubt
Trying so hard to figure it out
I spent many days lost in myself
Drowned in this world, had to reset
I’ll never, I’ll never, I’ll never ever
Go back to that again
Say I gotta get up and get on my way
Leave the negativity way behind me
Say I’ll never, I’ll never, I’ll never ever
Never settle for less
Sometimes it seems that we gotta lose it all
Before we can see that nothing lasts forever
Risk it all for love, love is from above
And my life, my life, my life is for You
So I’mma live it up
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
Y sincera es la música
(And sincere is the music)
I’mma live it up
Con amor verdadero
(With true love)
Vamos pa’ lante
(Let’s go forward)
Y líbrate la mente

“Live It Up” Lyrics:
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
De Copenhague hasta el caribe
(From Copenhagen to the Caribbean)
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
Say I never settle for less
So triple down on, on positivity
Dark clouds they come and they go all the time
My eyes on the prize so I pay them no mind
And always give it my best
Say I gotta get up and get on my way
Leave the negativity way behind me
Say I’ll never settle for less
Sometimes it seems that we gotta lose it all
Before we can see that nothing lasts forever
Risk it all for love, love is from above
And my life, my life, my life is for You
So I’mma live it up
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
Y sincera es la música
(And sincere is the music)
I’mma live it up
Con amor verdadero
(With true love)
Vamos pa’ lante
(Let’s go forward)
Have you ever, ever been in doubt
Trying so hard to figure it out
I spent many days lost in myself
Drowned in this world, had to reset
I’ll never, I’ll never, I’ll never ever
Go back to that again
Say I gotta get up and get on my way
Leave the negativity way behind me
Say I’ll never, I’ll never, I’ll never ever
Never settle for less
Sometimes it seems that we gotta lose it all
Before we can see that nothing lasts forever
Risk it all for love, love is from above
And my life, my life, my life is for You
So I’mma live it up
Siempre real y sincero
(Always real and sincere)
Y sincera es la música
(And sincere is the music)
I’mma live it up
Con amor verdadero
(With true love)
Vamos pa’ lante
(Let’s go forward)
Y líbrate la mente
(Free your mind)
Y grita lo que sientes
(And scream what you feel)
Ve y líbrate la mente
(Go and free your mind)
Con amor verdadero
(With true love)
Vamos pa’ lante
(Let’s go forward)
La vida es lo mejor sin ponerle interrogante
(Life is better without question marks)
Vamos pa’ lante
(Let’s go forward)

La vida es lo mejor sin ponerle interrogante

Siempre real y sincero

Al Mukhtar (Vocals Only) – Mevlan Kurtishi


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
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

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
Who is He?
A queer type friend!
He has the Quran in His hand and And in the same the holy thread
