WithOut You

Softly you called to me
Across the space between
Across 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

‘Cos 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
Without You

Like a heart between beats
I would feel nothing you see
If you took your love from me
I don’t know what more would life mean?

I'd use my final breath
To call out your name and let
That breath upon the breeze
Rise like a kiss to thee

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
What I would do

Without You
Without You
Without You

‘Cos 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
Without You

My Only Wish [Interlude]

All your armies, all your fighters
All your tanks, and all your soldiers
Against a boy holding a stone
Standing there all alone
In his eyes I see the sun
In his smile I see the moon
And I wonder, I only wonder
Who is weak, and who is strong?
Who is right, and who is wrong?
And I wish, I only wish
That the truth has a tongue

Forever Palestine

Mother don’t cry for me I am heading off to war
God almighty is my armour and sword
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children being killed for throwing stones in the sky
They say to their parents don’t worry, God is on our side
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Mother don’t worry when they come for us at night
Surely they’ll be sorry when God puts them right
Tell me why they’re doing what was done to them
Don’t they know that God is with the oppressed and needy
Perished were the nations that ruled through tyranny
Palestine, Forever Palestine

Children of Palestine are fighting for their lives
They say to their parents we know that Palestine is our right
They to say to their parents we’ll fight for what is right
They say not to worry God is on our side
They say we’ll die for Palestine
Palestine, Forever Palestine

HE IS THERE

Some might say this world today shows
God’s left us to our mistakes oh
He has never been so far away
Some might say
How could any father stand
To see his children across so many lands
Suffer so and give no helping hand
No helping hand

And somewhere tonight
Far away and out of sight
There’s a child that’s too weak to cry
Look deep in those eyes
Can’t you see him in disguise?
Reaching out to the heart that’s in you and I

In every tear
That is where
He is there

He’s the hand that wipes that brow
He’s the tear that trickles down
Upon the face that cries without a sound
‘We need you now’
What a simple choice to make
Between what you give and what you take
When what you give
Such precious life precious life would save
Life would save

And somewhere inside
There’s a part of you asks why
Would he leave so many so far behind
Look deep in those eyes
Can’t you see him in disguise
Reaching out to the heart that’s in you and I

In every tear
That is where
He is there

Look again don’t hide your eyes
He is there in disguise
Reaching out to you and I
He is there in every tear
Not far away he’s right here
Oh how could he be more near

Sallou

Shatamuh, shatamuh
Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh
Tabi’uhu lamma ‘arafuhu
Maa aghlaah, a’laah
(They insulted him when they didn’t know him
They became his followers when they truly knew him
How precious and how lofty is he)

Shatamuh, shatamuh
Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh
Tabi’uhu lamma ‘arafu hudah
(They insulted him when they didn’t know him
They became his followers when they knew his guidance)

Shadowless in my dreams
I search for you near and far
‘Cos your the one I want to see
Face to face with me

You make me spin and whirl
Like the tip of your curl
Only so to fall
By your side

Make me want to risk it all
Everything of my world
Only to stand tall
By your side

Looking at the moon bright
I escape into the desert night
Seeing you insight
For a while

Time becomes like a breeze
Underneath the palm tree
Hand in hand you and me
With your smile
Smile, smile, smile

Shatamuh, shatamuh
Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh
Tabi’uhu lamma ‘arafuhu maa
(They insulted him when they didn’t know him
They became his followers when they truly knew him, how)

Shatamuh, shatamuh
Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh
Tabi’uhu lamma ‘arafu hudah
(They insulted him when they didn’t know him
They became his followers when they knew his guidance)

(Turkish)
Sen benim nazli yarimsin
Sen benim gozbebegimsin
Sana gonulden baglanmisim ben
Sen en sevdigim sevdicegimsin
Ben seni bir gul gibi koklarım
Askınla tutusur askınla yanarim
Hep seni arar seni sorarim
Sana varmak icin hayal kurarım
(You, my delicate Beloved
You, the apple of my eye
Tied to you, at the heart
You are my deepest love, my Beloved
Inhaling your scent, just like smelling a rose
Burning inside, with the fire of your love
I always look for, and ask of you
Always dream of reaching you)

(Hindi)

Tera tasawur mera he sakoon hai
Tera nam leana mera hai janoon
Woh metee batein teree hee soonoo mein
Duniyah boora maa ne tho mein kya karoo
(The very mention of you. Becomes my tranquility
To take your name, it becomes my sanity
Those sweet conversation of yours I would listen too
If the world deems them offensive. What do I care)

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
Your love means more to me than they
It makes no difference either way
Let them say what they want to say
It makes no difference either way
Your love means more to me than they
It’s a game, it’s a game, it’s a game
It’s a game they’re always going to
Play, play, play, play, play

A Thousand Times

Without your warmth, without your smile
Without you, by my side
The world was so cold, I felt so lost
Without your light, I felt so blind

A thousand miles I'd run and walk
A thousand times I'd slip and fall
But for you I'd do it again
A thousand times

Without your warmth, without your smile
Without you, by my side
The world was so cold, I felt so lost
Without your light, I felt so blind

You gave me hope, you let me dream
Made me believe I can still trust

You raised me up, you gave me wings
Just like a kite in the sky

A thousand miles I'd run and walk
A thousand times I'd slip and fall
But for you I'd do it again
A thousand times

No words are enough to convey
All the things I want to say
I won’t even try ‘Cos I know
Deep down you feel how much I care

Now I hold my head up high
I see my dreams coming true
Peace be with you my dearest friend
In my heart you will remain

A thousand miles I'd run and walk
A thousand times I'd slip and fall
But for you I'd do it again

A thousand times

Never Never

I’ll never leave
‘Cos for you I dream
How can I stay away
Your light is all I need
Your love is all I need

(Hindi)
Aye sanam noori
Khawaeshein teree.
Chahath hain meree
Zindagee hain meree (x2)
(Oh my effulgent beloved
Your requests are my desires
They are also my life)

Why I won’t lie
I won’t even try
‘Cos I’m never going to be the one to end this love
And I’m never going to be the one who dares to take my eye away from you
I’m never going to be the one who dares to leave you
‘Cos I won’t be alone
Your love is all I need

(Hindi)

Why I won’t lie
I won’t even try
‘Cos I’m never going to be the one to end this love

I’m never going to be the one who dares to leave you
‘Cos I won’t be alone
Your love is all I need

(Turkish)
Birakmam seni, asla terk etmem
Sen isik sen gunes, ben senin golgen
Sense birtanem, vurgunum sana
Asla vazgecmem, kalbimde sen varsin
Askindan donmem, asla terk etmem
(I can’t leave you, Never could I abandon you
You are the light, you are the sun, while I am merely a shadow
You, my one and only, Struck on you,
I would never give up (loving you), you are the one in my heart
I can’t turn away from your love, never could I abandon you)

Why I won’t lie, I won’t even try
‘Cos I’m never going to be the one to end this love

I’m never going to leave you
I’ll never leave
I won’t ever leave
I won’t ever leave
‘Cos your love is all I need
And I’m never going to leave
And I know that you see
How much you mean to me
I won’t ever leave
Never, never leave

Anything For You

If there were a single sacred rose
On a mountain top that grows
Where nobody ever dares to go
For you I’d climb that mountain high
I would reach up to the sky
If that rose was your desire

Don’t you know that I
Would do anything
Would do anything
For you
I would do anything
Would do anything
Anything for you

For you, I would sail the seven seas
Walk the deserts in between
Just to bring you anything you need
Nothing could ever be too much
Anything to show my love
‘Cos it gives me strength enough

Don’t you
Don’t you
Don’t you know that I
Would do anything
Would do anything
For you
You know that I
Would do anything
Would do anything
Anything for you

For you I would take on any trial
And I would walk on through the fire
You give me strength enough to face it all
You make me feel invincible

‘Cos I would do anything
Anything for you
You know that I
Would do anything
Would do anything
Anything for you

These things are nothing to
All the things you do for me
You are my dream come true
A love I never knew you see
I’d take on a mountain high
Just to see you smile for me
You make me want to be
The very best that I can be

I would do anything
Anything for you
You know that I
Would do anything
Would do anything

Anything for you

Salutation

Assalatu wassalam
Assalatu wassalam
‘Alayka ya sayyidi
Ya rasula Allah
Ya Muhammad, Muhammad
Muhammad

Not in My Name

Is it not enough what you’ve done?
With all the bloodshed you’ve caused
Yet your greed drives you on
In your brutal race for acquisition
No land is left untouched
Driven by a vile ambition
To have the whole world in your clutch
Every single new addition
To your slave colony
Does nothing to dull your ambition
To leave no nation free
It is indeed a sad condition that you suffer from
This itching desire for a prime position
To have all under your thumb

Not in my name will you fight
Not in my name will you kill
Not in my name will you burn a child
Not in my name will you lie
Not in my name will you invade
Not in my name will you rape
Not in my name will you terrorise
Not in my name will you lie

I warn it’s time to take heed
One day you’ll find yourself pursued
By every person you’ve made bleed
You thought they’d been subdued
You were wrong
You were wrong
They’ve been freed
They’ve been freed

Against your evil methods of violence and intimidation
Against your hijacking and misinterpretation
Of my peaceful faith and revelation
I shout with billions in this demonstration

Not in my name will you fight
Not in my name will you kill
Not in my name will you burn a child
Not in my name will you lie
Not in my name will you invade
Not in my name will you rape
Not in our name
Will you dare to speak again
Not in our name
