Translation:
They said, ‘Have you forgotten the One Whom you love?’
So I told them ‘O People, He Who is my Spirit, how could I ever forget Him?
And how could I forget Him, by Whom all things are beautified.
It would be a strange thing indeed for a servant to forget his Lord.
He is never hidden from me yet I see Him not,
Except that I say openly ‘Say He is God.’
What say the accusers? Their efforts are in vain.
What the enemies say makes it all the more meaningful.
Indeed I do love Him. What they say is indeed true.
Yes, O Yes! I love Him! Indeed do I love Him!
I ask forgiveness from God for all but His love,
For it is all the good deeds I have on the day that I meet Him.
And if they should say that love is a transgression,
Then love is the best thing with which one can meet God.
- Shaykh Ahmad al-Rifa’i
(12th c founder of Rifa’I Sufi Order)
Translated by Nicholas Boylston
ABOUT THE ALBUM
Sami Yusuf’s latest album ‘Live at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music’ was born of his desire to translate for a global audience the rich musical language of cultures stretching from Andalusia, North Africa, and Arabia to Turkey and beyond. His desire is realised here: the music is refined, and whether meditative or ecstatic, it is all connected by remarkable emotional depth of expression. In its melodic Arabic love songs, its rhythmic chants of North African Sufi lodges, its trance-like Turkish ilahis of the whirling dervishes - this is the visionary work of a composer and performer at the top of his game. Directing an international ensemble of master instrumentalists on traditional acoustic instruments - Bağlama, santur, qanun, kemanche, ney and more - and joined by a renowned Moroccan vocal group, in this 16-track album Sami Yusuf delivers all the magic of the live performance that held his Fes audience spellbound.
2019 was Sami’s second time headlining this prestigious festival, the first time was 2009, joining the ranks of earlier headliners such as Ravi Shankar, Paco de Lucia, Youssou N’Dour, Joan Baez, Björk and Ben Harper.

A striking feature of Ismail Boujia’s performance is that it is delivered from an inner state of centredness and complete peace. I’m transported to a higher realm each time I listen to this. How does it affect you?
