| 6 |  I beheld the crescent moon
and the luminous face of the Beloved.
And in that moment of vision, they became
two crescents in my sight.
And I could no longer tell which of them had slain me
Was it the crescent of the night sky
or the crescent of human form shining with Divine light?
Vocal section by Ismail Boujia

| 7 |  Performing "La Llave" live at the Fes Festival was a truly moving experience for me. This piece is a celebration of shared heritage—a meeting point of languages, rhythms, and traditions.
We reimagined this centuries-old Andalusian folk song with new Spanish lyrics echoing its original Arabic verses, creating something that feels both ancient and new. I’m deeply grateful to the incredible artists who brought it to life with me—Israel Moro, Nabyla Maan, Ismail Boujia, and our brilliant ensemble.
In this live performance, world music traditions become a shared experience—an unrepeatable moment of connection that is intimate, alive, and deeply human.
With Love,
SY

| 9 |  Beyond the Stars was more than a concert—it was a meeting point of cultures, performed live at the stunning Al Wasl Dome in Dubai 2021.
These original compositions bring together the rich textures of global musical traditions—from the expressive tones of the Chinese erhu to the vibrant rhythms of qawwali and the intricate melodies of Andalusia. Each piece is a reflection of connection, creativity, and the universal language of music.
I’m grateful to have shared this unforgettable moment with master musicians and an audience from around the world.
With Love,
SY

| 10 |  ‘Nasimi’ is one of the compositions closest to my heart. The ecstatic poetry of the 14th-century Sufi master Nasimi is celebrated here through the vibrant sound of Shur mugham, the beautiful and living musical legacy of the poet’s homeland.
This performance was recorded live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Baku — a moment of deep meaning and pride.
With love,
SY | 4 354 |
| 11 |  The Wine of Love was composed for my performance at the Al Wasl Dome, Dubai 2021.
Set to beautiful Urdu poetry by Munna Shaokath Ali, the lyrics explore reflection, longing, and the search for connection:
“When I look at you, let me see myself in you…
May the longing for you never fade from my heart.”
This moment was deeply meaningful for me, and I hope for those who experienced it.
With love,
SY

| 14 |  It is with deep gratitude that I share this moment: ‘L’Amour Vivant’ has reached over 4 million views on YouTube.
In an era of AI-generated and mass-produced music, the love shown to this 20-minute classical-crossover piece—rooted in World Music Traditions—is humbling.
This work is more than a composition. It’s a journey through Baroque textures, Arabic baladi, Central Asian depth, Persian modes, the Malian kora, and Chinese erhu—a tribute to the soul of traditional music.
As formulaic pop floods our culture, I’ve embraced the tag #HumanMusic—not in protest, but in praise of what is real, inspired, and felt.
My heartfelt thanks to The Sami Yusuf Ensemble, The Scoring Orchestra of Paris, The Métaboles, and all the soloists who brought this piece to life. And to you, the listener—thank you for receiving it.

| 15 |  رق معنى الهوى
Passion had a subtle meaning
في النفوس و الأشباح
In souls and in shadows
و ظهر و احتوى
And it appeared and was contained
في الصدور و الأرواح
In hearts and spirits
يا خِليَّ الجوى
O air of burning desire
لو ذُقتٓ من الراح
If you had a taste of wine
يا له من مُدام
Oh from him constantly
من سٓكٓر به غنَّى
He who has become drunk
has gained in richness

| 17 |  O Heart that sacrificed itself for love,
Forget the sadness that your lover’s passing beauty brought,
For she is not inclined to loyalty,
Go, find your place in that love that never changes.
Kelgil, ey qurbon ko‘ngul,
ul qoshi yo mehrin unut,
Chun vafodin tortilur,
sen ham borib bir go‘sha tut.

O you who have fallen in love

| 19 |  The journey of the body falls on dry land,
But the journey of the spirit sets foot in the heart of the sea.
سیر جسم خشک بر خشکی فتاد
سیر جان پا در دل دریا نهاد
I am the lover of a beautiful one, O saints,
For her sake, I get stoned by strangers.
Bir güzelin aşığıyam erenler,
Onun içün taşa tutar el beni.
Beauty has quenched the thirst of the lovers,
When it was revealed to them.
