   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

   [Arabic:]
   Allahumma
   O God

   Salli ‘ala Sayyidina Mustafa
   Send Your blessings upon our leader, The Chosen One

   ‘Ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
   Upon Your Beloved, Your Prophet, The Chosen One

   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

   [Arabic:]
   Allahumma
   O God

   Salli ‘ala Sayyidina Mustafa
   Send Your blessings upon our leader, The Chosen One

   ‘Ala Habibeeka, Nabi’eeka, Mustafa
   Upon Your Beloved, Your Prophet, The Chosen One

   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
   Ya Rasul Allah

   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

3. Mawlana (Live In New Delhi)

   Composed, produced and performed by Sami Yusuf
   Words by Umar ibn Ali ibn al-Farid (d. 1234)

   Translation:

   In memory of the Beloved
   We drank a wine

   With which we had been drunk
   Before the creation of the vine.

   The full moon was its cup.
   While the wine was a sun passed round

   By a crescent, which when mixed,
   How many stars appear!

   Mawlana

   If not for its fragrance,
   I would never have been guided to its tavern.

   If not for its radiance,
   Imagination could never picture it,

   Time preserved nothing of it, but a fading breath,

   As if its being hidden in the breasts of the wise were concealed.

   If you are drunk with it for but one hour,

   You will see time an obedient slave at your command.

   For there is no life in this world for one who lives sober;

   And one who dies not drunk from it,
   Resolution has passed him by.

4. Hasbi Rabbi (Live in New Delhi)

   [Urdu:]
   Wo tanha kaun hai?
   Badshah wo kaun hai?
   Meherba wo kaun hai?
   Who is the only One?
   Who is the King?
   Who is the Merciful?

   Kya unchi shan hai
   Uskey sab nishan hai
   Sab dilon ki jan hai
   Who is the most praised and benevolent?
   Whatever you see in this world is His sign
   He’s the love of every soul

   [Turkish]
   Affeder gunahi
   Alemin padisahi
   Yureklerin penahi
   He is the Forgiver of all sins
   He is the King of the universe
   He is the Refuge of all hearts

   Isit Allah derdimi, bu ahlarimi
   Rahmeyle, bagisla gunahlarimi
   Hayreyle hem aksam hem sabahlarimi
   O God hear my sorrows and my sighs
   Have mercy and pardon my sins
   Bless my night and days

   [Arabic:]
   Ya rabbal ‘alamin
   Salli ‘ala Tahal amin
   Fi kulli waqtin wa hin
   O Lord of the worlds
   Send peace and blessings
   On Taha the trustworthy
   In every time and at every instant

   Imla’ qalbi bil yaqin
   Thabbitni ‘ala hadhad din
   Waghfir li wal muslimin
   Fill my heart with conviction
   Make me steadfast on this way of life
   And forgive me and all the believers
