DESCRIPTION

Dastgāh: Shūr (Avaz-e Abū ‘Aṭā)
Commentary: This beautiful song comes from the Kurdish Qadiri zawiyas (Sufi centers) of Western Iran. It is a traditional devotional piece expressing love of the Prophet and longing to visit Medina. The original words are in Kurdish but additional verses in Persian, Turkish and Arabic have been added. The traditional khānghāh daf rhythm of “Ḥay Allah, Ḥay Allah” is incorporated into this piece with a time signature of 10/8.

*This section (till the Kurdish refrain) is an entirely new composition added by Sami Yusuf with words by Payam Azizi.

The blessed beads of sweat from your luminous body, smell of flowers

Har wak hājiyān bawānem, La dowr baytu l-Lāh bawanem
Like the pilgrims who circumambulate the House of God
O my all, my beloved
Bīm ba dawrī to ‘azīzam,
I'd circle around you, my dearest one,
Yā Nabī, Yā Shafī’
O Prophet of God, O Intercessor!

O God, for the sake of the prophet, clear the adversity
