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
WHERE I WOULD GO
WHAT I WOULD DO
WITHOUT YOU

Without You (Acoustic – Arabic) – Sami Yusuf
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.

Pearl ( The Centre Album ) – Sami Yusuf
The lyrics of this song come from the poetry of the 14th century mystical poet Nasimi, who was one of the first literary figures to compose in Azerbaijani. The composer sets an ecstatic mood in this new piece in Shur mugham that evokes Sufi ceremonies through high-energy percussion and dazzling avaz sections. The musical narrative is majestic, powerful, and intensely beautiful.

For I will not be contained in your store,
Şəhd ilə həm şəkər mənəm, şəms mənəm, qəmər mənəm,
I am the sugar, I am the honey, I am the Sun, I am the Moon,
Ruhi-rəvan bağışlaram, ruhi-rəvana sığmazam.
I bestow spirit to all things, But I will not be contained in spirit
Məndə sığar iki cahan, mən bu cahana sığmazam,
The two worlds are contained in Me,
But I will not be contained in these worlds
Gövhəri-laməkan mənəm, kövnü məkana sığmazam
I am the Treasure of no abode,
I cannot be contained in being or in the engendered world
Mən bu cahana sığmazam
I will not be contained in these worlds

Lyrics:
Impatient and longing to meet my beloved
My steps quicken my heartbeat racing
I long to touch each inch as I pass
Hoping to absorb his light into my heart
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
I’m standing humbly at your green dome
I’m full of sins I’m full of shame
I feel adorned by your beauty
Giving my tears in plea forgive me
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
My head prostrates onto the ground
All is calm now I feel at peace
No sound amongst these millions
Only I can hear my heartbeat
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
A place here in Jannah grant me
My bags are packed yet I can’t leave
I yearn the streets of my Rasool
He is my love please let me be

Heaven – Safe Adam
6am, when he wakes up
He wipes the sleep from his eyes
Another day, at school again
Weighing heavy upon his mind
Standing tall, trying to keep it cool
Saying “yes” to everything
He’s lost in doubt, all he cares about
Is to find a way of fitting in
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are
Don’t ever forget you shine
Shining like a star
There’s something so perfect
Courage in everyone
So don’t ever let yourself, stop
Loving who you are
She stood, by her mirror
She’s wondering how to fix her scarf
Filled up, with a fear of
People staring from afar
At the way she talks, just how she walks
It’s tearing up her self-esteem
She’s lost in doubt, all she cares about
Is to find a way of fitting in
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are
Don’t ever forget you shine
Shining like a star
There’s something so perfect
Courage in everyone
So don’t ever let yourself, stop
Loving who you are
No matter, ooh
You are always beautiful
No matter, you
You are incredible
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are
Don’t ever forget you shine
Shining like a star
There’s something so perfect
Courage in everyone
So don’t ever let yourself, stop
Loving who you are
Don’t ever forget to love
Keep loving who you are

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

Lyrics:
Don’t be saddened by what you see
By all the lies and treachery
Life is cruel but don’t worry
In your heart lies the key
To unwind all the secrets
Of this life we see
When you feel you’ve lost it all
When you don’t know who’s your friend or foe
You wonder why you’re so alone
Worry ends when faith begins
Don’t be sad by what you see
It’s true life has its miseries
But one thing’s always worked for me
Worry ends when faith begins
Don’t be saddened by what you see
I know life can be crazy
A showcase of hypocrisy
In the form of piety
It’s just one big mystery
For you and me
I found my peace deep within
Calling inside
Follow what you feel is right
So trust your heart go ahead
Don’t lose sight
Follow that voice deep inside
When you feel you’ve lost it all
When you don’t know who’s your friend or foe
You wonder what you’re so alone
Worry ends when faith begins
Don’t be sad by what you see
It’s true life has it’s miseries
But one thing’s always worked for me
Worry ends when faith begins
If you’re weak it’s not a crime
Don’t you know it’s blessing in disguise
To know who’s honest and who spread lies
Worry ends when faith begins
Don’t be sad by what you see
It’s true life has it’s miseries
But one thing’s always worked for me
Worry ends when faith begins

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 | كلمات العمل :
شربنا على ذكرِ الحبيبِ مدامة ً
In memory of the Beloved
We drank a wine
سَكِرْنا بها، من قبلِ أن يُخلق الكَرمُ
With which we had been drunk
Before the creation of the vine.
لها البدرُ كأسٌ وهيَ شمسٌ يديرها
The full moon was its cup.
While the wine was a sun passed round
هِلالٌ، وكم يبدو إذا مُزِجَتْ نَجمُ
By a crescent, which when mixed,
How many stars appear!
مولانا
Mawlana
ولولا شذاها ما اهتديتُ لحانها
If not for its fragrance,
I would never have been guided to its tavern.
ولو لا سناها ما تصوَّرها الوهمُ
If not for its radiance,
Imagination could never picture it,
ولم يُبْقِ مِنها الدَّهْرُ غيرَ حُشاشَة ٍ
Time preserved nothing of it, but a fading breath,
كأنَّ خَفاها، في صُدورِ النُّهى كَتْمُ
As if its being hidden in the breasts of the wise were concealed.
وفي سكرة ٍ منها ولو عمرَ ساعة ٍ
If you are drunk with it for but one hour,
تَرى الدَّهْرَ عَبداً طائِعاً، ولَكَ الحُكْمُ
You will see time an obedient slave at your command.
فلا عيشَ في الدُّنيا لمنْ عاشَ صاحياً
For there is no life in this world for one who lives sober;
ومنْ لمْ يمتْ سكراً بها فاتهُ الحزمُ
And one who dies not drunk from it,
Resolution has passed him by.

By a crescent, which when mixed,
How many stars appear!
مولانا
Mawlana
ولولا شذاها ما اهتديتُ لحانها
If not for its fragrance,
I would never have been guided to its tavern.
ولو لا سناها ما تصوَّرها الوهمُ
If not for its radiance,
Imagination could never picture it,
ولم يُبْقِ مِنها الدَّهْرُ غيرَ حُشاشَة ٍ
Time preserved nothing of it, but a fading breath,
كأنَّ خَفاها، في صُدورِ النُّهى كَتْمُ
As if its being hidden in the breasts of the wise were concealed.
وفي سكرة ٍ منها ولو عمرَ ساعة ٍ
If you are drunk with it for but one hour,
تَرى الدَّهْرَ عَبداً طائِعاً، ولَكَ الحُكْمُ
You will see time an obedient slave at your command.
فلا عيشَ في الدُّنيا لمنْ عاشَ صاحياً
For there is no life in this world for one who lives sober;
ومنْ لمْ يمتْ سكراً بها فاتهُ الحزمُ
And one who dies not drunk from it,
Resolution has passed him by.

“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:
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

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.

How can I stop their corruption?

In mercy he’s the ocean
While others are drops of rain.

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

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)

And everybody thinks that I’ve gone crazy
And no one knows but me, just thinking of what could be

Oh, is this real or imaginary?
Shining bright, the night has come
The better life has not yet begun
Here we are, lessons learned
I am done, now it’s your turn!

People think that I’m alone, but I feel close to You
They don’t see that I can love, but I know You do

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
Music
أماهُ، أماهُ، يا أمي
(Mother… Mother… O my mother)
واشوقاه الي لقياكِ، يا أمي
(How I long to see O mother)
أمكَ، أمكَ، أمكَ أمكَ
(“Your mother, Your mother, Your mother”)
قول رسولك
(Is the saying of your Prophet)
في قلبي، في حُلُمي
(In my heart, in my dreams)
انتِ معي يا أمي
(You are always with me mother)
رُحتِ و تركتِني
(You went and left me)
يا نور عينيا
(O light of my eyes)
يا أنس ليليا
(O comfort of my nights)
رُحتِ و تركتِني
(You went and left)
من سواكِ يحضنني
(Who, other than you, will embrace me?)
من سواكِ يسترني
(Who, other than you, will cover me?)
من سواكِ يحرسني
(Who, other than you, will guard over me?)
عفوكِ أمي، سامحيني
(Your pardon mother, forgive me)

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 are one humankind
Brothers side by side
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
[Arabic]
سامحنا يا الله
Samihna ya allah
Forgive us o lord
وارحمنا يا رباه
Wa irrhamna ya rabbah
Have mercy on us o lord
وامنح رزقك للأفواه
Wa imnah rizqaka lil-afwah
Give your bounty to the mouths
وابعد عنا كل الآه
Wa abi’d anha kul al-aah
And keep away from them all the moans and groans
Our words must count
Hunger will not wait
For promises we made
We share one soul
We share one land
We have one time to understand
We are one humankind
Brothers side by side
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
