When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival)
أناشيد الألبوم
DESCRIPTION:
Experience the beauty and unity of diverse musical traditions with Sami Yusuf’s
latest release, ‘One.’ Recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022,
this piece showcases exceptional artistry from Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s own ensemble.
Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf,
‘One’ is a stunning blend of Western European vocal performance and the dynamic
rhythms of Andalusian, North African and Middle Eastern instruments including the ney,
violin, qanun, santur and percussions.
The German words by Meister Eckhart and Arabic poetry by Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari
speak of the Eternal I and the unity of vision, emphasising the separate beauty of
each path and their underlying unity.
Performed in E Flat with allusions to maqām Nahāwand,
‘One’ opens with Cappella Amsterdam’s hauntingly beautiful vocals,
transitioning to the richly textured and dynamic rhythms of Amsterdam
Andalusian Orchestra, culminating in a mesmerising santur and percussion performance
by Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.
‘One’ invites you to experience the oneness of the human spirit in art.

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.

I Only Knew Love (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.

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,

The Fire Within (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
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

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.

Karitas (Live at the Holland Festival) – 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.

Translation:
Remembering the beloved
we drank wine*;
we were drunk with it
before creation of the vine.
The full moon its glass,
the wine a sun circled by a crescent;
when it is mixed,
how many stars appear!
Our Lord, O our Lord!
If not for its fragrance,
I would not have found its tavern;
if not for its flashing gleam,
how could imagination picture it?
Time preserved nothing of it
save one last breath,
concealed like a secret
in the hearts of the wise ones.
Our Lord, O our Lord!
But if it is recalled among the tribe,
the worthy ones
are drunk by morn without shame or sin.
Be drunk one hour with it, and you shall have
All of time as your slave, at your command.
The one who lives sober in this world has not had a life,
And the one who dies not drunk has missed the mark.

Chahaton Ki Ye Sargam , Ab Dagar Dagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of love place to place.
Kabhi Payalon Ki Chan Chan – sometimes the sound of athletes

Ye Jahan ab Tera Hai – this world is now your’s
Qurbaton Ka Mela Hai – it’s a fun land of peace
Ulfaton ka is mein , hai Mazaa – it’s a joy of love
Sham Ye Mastani Hai – this evening is wonderful
Zindagi Dewani Hai – life is crazy
Bekhudi Ka is mein , hai Nashaa – it’s an addict of love
Aashiqon Ki Ye Sargam , Ab nagar nagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of lovers place to place.
Kahen Dhol Bajay Hai Dham Dham – somewhere drums playing
barishon ki ye cham cham – sounds of rain.

Zindagi Dewani Hai – life is crazy
Bekhudi Ka is mein , hai Nashaa – it’s an addict of love
Aashiqon Ki Ye Sargam , Ab nagar nagar Mein Sunta Hoon – I hear the music
of lovers place to place.
Kahen Dhol Bajay Hai Dham Dham – somewhere drums playing

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

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!

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

Lyrics:
Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur
يا ربي يا غفور
Ya ‘Alimu Ya Shakur
يا عليم يا شكور
Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One!
Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One!
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
What makes you sigh?
My father said to me
Saw you walking by
And keeping it from me
I do care, I do care
Come sit with me
Tell me what’s on your mind
I know how it can be
I also was a child
Don’t despair, don’t despair
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
How can I tell you about
All that I feel
You would only start to shout
Make a big deal
And I’m beginning to doubt
If my wounds will heal
You’re right, I’m wrong, always the same
No one, really, knows of my pain
Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur
يا ربي يا غفور

Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
I never knew
You felt this way
Sometimes I’s true
You had no say
My hopes for you
Made me walk by
I left no room
To let you try
I’d not realized
How much you’d grown
To make mistakes
I’m also prone
Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur
يا ربي يا غفور
Ya ‘Alimu Ya Shakur
يا عليم يا شكور
Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One!

أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships
I thought I was the only one
Who felt this pain
Who felt so wronged
I thought you didn’t really care
But now I know I was unfair
Without you I would never be
The person I have come to be
Allif baina qulubina
ألف بين قلوبنا
Aslih dhata bainina
أصلح ذات بيننا
Bring our hearts close together
Mend our relationships

Soya Tha Usi Or – As I slept on that spot
Jahan Meri Maa Ke Thi God – Where is my mother’s lap
Dheeray Say Mujh Ko Sula De Meri Maa – Let me sleep again slowly oh mom
Paas Tu Jo Naa Rahe To – If you are not staying with me
Siskiyan Le Kar Mein Ro Dun – I would weap a lot and cry
Maa Mujhe Aa Ke To de do Hosla – Please come and give me courage

Palak Jhapaktay hi Ko Gayiii – Disappeared in seconds
Lamha Lamha Jo Paas Thee – Every moment she was with me
Door Mujh Se Ho Gayii – Going far away from me
Saza Se Bhi Hai Ye Zyada – This is more than a punishment
Teray Bin Ik Pal Jeeena – Living a second without you

I’m So Sorry – Lyrics:
If my time would end today would I be ready to go?
And leave all the things I’ve worked so hard for
And all my friends and everyone I’ve known?
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality
Chorus:
I’m so sorry, if only I had just one last chance
I’m so sorry, but now it’s too late to change the past, oh
I lived my life in the fast lane, I only lived for today
And never, never really thought about anyone else
It was all about me, myself and I
Never did I ever stop for a moment to think
Of what’s staring at me
I’ve been breaking all the mirrors of reality, oh
Chorus
And now, now that it’s over
I wonder if anyone will remember me
If I had the chance to turn back the hands of time
There’re so many things that I would change
I’d live my life every single breath for You
Chorus
I’m so sorry, so sorry
Please forgive me

“True Love” Lyrics:
I long for a world so pure and free
I wish for others all I’d wish for me
To live right, avoiding what is wrong
And focus everyday on the ultimate goal
Forever, what’s in my heart
Is all of the love from Allah
Chorus:
True love, it’s a gift
I will never let go of true love
I will give my body and soul for true love
Everyday in my heart I feel it grow
With true love, oh oh
True love, love, love yeah!
Each day
I’ll extend my hand
Give my all and do whatever I can

Everything I do I start in His Name
Forever, what’s in my heart
Is all of the love from Allah
CHORUS

And let’s be thankful to Allah
True love!
Let’s forgive each other with all our hearts
True love!
I never knew it would feel so good
Just being true to myself and true to You

“True Love” Lyrics:
I long for a world so pure and free
I wish for others all I’d wish for me
To live right, avoiding what is wrong
And focus everyday on the ultimate goal
Forever, what’s in my heart
Is all of the love from Allah
Chorus:
True love, it’s a gift
I will never let go of true love
I will give my body and soul for true love
Everyday in my heart I feel it grow
With true love, oh oh
True love, love, love yeah!
Each day
I’ll extend my hand
Give my all and do whatever I can
For a good life
Of joy and happiness
Everything I do I start in His Name
Forever, what’s in my heart
Is all of the love from Allah
CHORUS
Now raise your hands
And let’s be thankful to Allah
True love!
Let’s forgive each other with all our hearts
True love!
I never knew it would feel so good

Lyrics:
I know that You could easily
Take away everything You’ve given me
And I try to remember
Not to take anything for granted
‘Cause I know that one day
Suddenly this will all come to an end
So my last wish is for You to be pleased with me
Chorus:
Allah, Ya Allah
Guide me all the way to Your Jannah
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Don’t let me go astray ’cause I need You
By my side, I wish to be close
Close to You throughout my life
Ya Allah, O Allah!
Be with me all the way
I know that sometimes I do
I do forget that my next breath could be the last
Forgive me ’cause I can’t thank You enough
Forgive me when I doubt Your love
Now I pray for that day
When all this stops and comes to an end
So my last wish is for You to be pleased with me
CHORUS
Day by day passes
And I think that my time could be near
So I pray: O God let this world be in my hands
And not in my heart
‘Cause soon I’ll have to leave it (x2)
CHORUS (x3)
Guide me all the way
Don’t let me go astray

Lyrics:
Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…
Allahu Akbaru Allahu Akbaru Allah…
If you ask me about love and what I know about it
My answer will be
It’s everything about Allah, the pure love to our souls
He’s the Creator of you and me
The heavens and the whole universe
The One that made us whole and free
The Guardian of His true believers
Chorus:
So when the time gets hard
And there’s no way to turn
As He promised
He will always be there
To bless us with His love
And His mercy ’cause
As He promised
He will always be there
He’s always watching us, guiding us
And He knows what’s deep in our hearts
So when you lose your way
To Allah you should turn
‘Cause as He promised
He will always be there
He brings us out from the darkness into the light, Subhanallah
Capable of everything
We should never feel afraid of anything
As long as we follow His guidance all the way
Through our short time we have in this life
Soon it’ll all be over and well be
In His heaven and we’ll all be fine

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar…..

She’s the love of my life
There’s everything with a smile
She’s My Mother, My Sweet Mother
She can take the pain away with just one look
That’s My Mother, My Sweet Mother
You’re the picture in the frame
with all the colours of the rainbow
I’m far from ashamed to say I love you so
And here I lay at home tonight
It’s late but I can’t sleep tonight
Forgive me if I take my time
But I just have to let you know
You’re so special
She taught me how to pray
We play games everyday
With My Mother, My Sweet Mother
Even if I made no sense you listened patience
That’s My Mother, My Sweet Mother
She would sing a sweet song till I shut my eyes
And kiss my head and say goodnight
And I feel safe with you by my side
You’re there for every step in my life
I’m sorry if my life is unkind
I just have to let you know
You’re so precious
If only this was true
I’m in a cold dark wet room
I was an orphan now I am 22
I’ve never known my muuuuum
A picture faded by the sun that’s all I have
Left alone with nothing more but what I am
It’s not enough this life is tough when there is no one
To call My Mother,

She’s the love of my life

Lyrics:
What do you see?
Tell me what do you taste?
Tell me what do you hear
when I whisper your name?
You see through my eyes
and turned me away
In madness you’d spiral
if I did the same
Oh my love I’m waiting
Oh my love I’m calling
Oh my love I’m yearning
I shine but you’re
Shadowless, no you don’t see me

In citrus, in sweetness

Lyrics :
This is not the way it is
This is not the way it should be
You’re destroying everything, everything that’s dear to me
I can never be like you; you are the wicked of this world
You are the reason why we feel fear in our daily lives
And faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference
Don’t involve the innocent, don’t involve them that’s not the way
Lost in your own ignorance, believing you will save the day
And Faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference
It is not enough to say that you’re fighting for a good cause
When you take their lives away, ask the one’s that suffered their loss
And Faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference
Use your mind, use your mind, it was given for you to use
Use your mind, use your mind, not for you to abuse

Hold my hand and don’t let go
أمسكي يدي ولا تفلتيها
Mamma, I love you so
أمي، أحبك كثيرا
They’re taking me away, I don’t wanna go
إنهم يأخذونني بعيدا، لكني لا أريد الذهاب
Mamma, pray for my soul
أمي، إدعي لروحي
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
لا أعلم ماهو الذنب الذي اقترفته
And why they hate me so

You’ll always be in my heart
ستكونين دائما في قلبي
Srebrenica, I won’t forget
سربرينتسا، لن أنسى
Standing side by side, waiting to die
واقفون جنبا إلى جنب، ننتظر الموت
This fear, it can’t be described
هذا الخوف، لا يمكن وصفه
Every minute felt like years, as we stood in line
كل دقيقة مرت كأنها سنوات، ونحن نقف مصطفين
While tears flowed from my eyes
بينما يتدفق الدمع من عيني
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
لا أعلم ماهو الذنب الذي اقترفته
And why they hate me so
ولماذا يكرهونني إلى هذا الحد
Don’t forget me
لا تنسيني
CHORUS
You discriminate
أنتم تميزون
Against my faith and my name
ضد عقيدتي وإسمي
Stop spreading your hate
كفوا نشر كراهيتكم
We are all the same
كلنا سواسية
We are all the same
كلنا سواسية

As I entered your Mosque so gently
And as I finally stood there before you
I couldn’t stop my tears from falling
In your presence O Muhammad
Assalamu alayka Ya Rasool Allah
Assalamu alayka Ya habibi
Ya Nabiyya Allah
Assalamu alayka Ya Rasool Allah
Assalamu alayka Ya habibi
Ya Nabiyya Allah
Ya Rasool Allah

O Taiba (Medina), your breeze is so blessed
Indeed it brought life back to my spirit
I’ve left my heart with my Beloved
Sending blessings on Muhammad

Assalamu alayka Ya Rasool Allah
Assalamu alayka Ya habibi
Ya Nabiyya Allah
Assalamu alayka Ya Rasool Allah
Assalamu alayka Ya habibi
Ya Nabiyya Allah
Ya Rasool Allah

Asalamu Alayka (Live and Acoustic) – Maher Zain
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
ز عشقت آنچنان مستم…
که دیگر خود نمی دانم…
