It's a Game

Published on Oct 10, 2012 by ETMinternational

It’s a game

That they play

شتموه لما جهلوه

(They insulted him when they didn’t know who he was)

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه

(They became his followers when they truly knew his way)

What a shame

What they say

شتموه لما جهلوه

(They insulted him when they didn’t know who he was)

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه

(They became his followers when they truly knew his way)

Where are you in my dreams?

You feel so close but so far

When All I want is to see

Your face in front of me

You make me chase around

Shadows in the moonlight

Only for the sunrise

To open my eyes

Makes me jump to my feet

Walk around the city streets

Hoping that I’ll find you

By my side

Then I feel your sunlight

Beautiful and so bright

Feeling I’m in your arms

For a while

Hours pass like a breeze

Moving through the palm trees

Hand in hand you and me

With your smile

شتموه لما جهلوه

(They insulted him when they didn’t know who he was)

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه

(They became his followers when they truly knew his way)

What a shame

What they say

شتموه لما جهلوه

(They insulted him when they didn’t know who he was)

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه

(They became his followers when they truly knew his way)

Sen benim nazli yarimsin

(You, my delicate beloved)

Sen benim gozbebegimsin

(You, the apple of my eye)

Sana gonulden baglanmisim ben

(Tied to you, at the heart)

Sen en sevdigim sevdicegimsin

(You are my deepest love, my beloved)

Ben seni bir gul gibi koklar¦m

(Inhaling your scent, just like smelling a rose)

Ask¦nla tutusur ask¦nla yanarim

(Burning inside, with the fire of your love)

Hep seni arar seni sorarim

(I always look for, and ask of you)

Sana varmak icin hayal kurar¦m

(Always dream of reaching you)

تیرا تصور میرا ہی سکوں ھے

(The very mention of you becomes my tranquility)

تیرا نام لینا میرا ھے جنوں

(To take your name, it becomes my sanity)

وہ میٹھی باتیں تیری ھی سنوں میں

(Those sweet conversations of yours I would listen too)

دنیا برا مانے تو میں کیا کروں؟

(If the world deems them offensive, what do I care?)

شتموه لما جهلوه

(They insulted him when they didn’t know who he was)

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه

(They became his followers when they truly knew his way)

What a shame

What they say

شتموه لما جهلوه

(They insulted him when they didn’t know who he was)

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه

(They became his followers when they truly knew his way)

I need you in my life,

Like the air with which I breathe

Salutations upon my beloved

So let them say what they want to say

Salutations upon my beloved

It’s the same game they always play

Salutations upon my beloved

I’ll turn my ears the other way

Salutations upon my beloved

It makes no difference either way

Salutations upon my beloved

It’s a game they’re always going to play

Let them say what they want to say

Salutations upon my beloved

It’s a game, It’s a game

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

This shall be the fourth in a series of internationally acclaimed albums, ‘Al-Muallim’, ‘My Ummah’ and ‘Wherever You Are’ that have collectively sold a well over 12 million copies worldwide. Sami has sung these albums in a multitude of languages, including English, Malay, Arabic and Turkish and have featured hugely successful collaborations with artists such as the rock legend Ian Brown, Conner Reeves, Turkish diva Sezen Aksu and South African choir, best known for their hauntingly hypnotic Oscar-winning performance for the soundtrack of Disney’s ‘The Lion King’.

The scope of his charitable endeavors recently expanded when Sami was chosen alongside Sean Penn and Sheryl Crow as the United Nations Celebrity Partner for World Food Programme (WFP).

Sami will soon launch his own label with the name of Andante Records to support and guide the talented youth who promise a bright future for music.

Endowed with a strong cultural affiliation to music; privileged with a musical background and having studied music with several renowned composers, including those from one of the world’s most prestigious music institutes – the Royal Academy of Music in London, music is his destiny was unsurprising a prediction acquaintances would so confidently make. 

Sami learned to play several musical instruments including the piano, violin, tar, tombak, santour, daf, tabla and oud to count a few, at a very young age. He bore the passion to etch a mark in the field of music, which he so indelibly did with the release of his groundbreaking debut album, Al-Muallim – an album composed, produced and sung by him. 

A young, British-Muslim instantly became the talk of the town in lands as far and diverse as Egypt and Turkey. The album not only sold well over 3 million copies but also earned him a massive following in the Middle East, North African nations and South-East Asia.

DON'T DELAY GIVING IN CHARITY

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once had several coins that he asked his wife to distribute in charity. But due to the Prophet's illness at the time, she did not have an opportunity to give out the coins. When the Prophet learned of this, he asked for the coins, placed them in his hand, and then said: "What would God's Prophet think if he were to meet God, who is Great and Glorious, while (still) possessing these?" - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 586

 

The Prophet also said: "Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARITY

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604

The Prophet also said: "Every act of goodness is charity." - Sahih Muslim, Hadith 496

EVERY MUSLIM MUST GIVE IN CHARITY

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Every Muslim has to give in charity." The people then asked: "(But what) if someone has nothing to give, what should he do?" The Prophet replied: "He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns)." The people further asked: "If he cannot find even that?" He replied: "He should help the needy who appeal for help." Then the people asked: "If he cannot do (even) that?" The Prophet said finally: "Then he should perform good deeds and keep away from evil deeds, and that will be regarded as charitable deeds." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 524

SPEND IN CHARITY

"Spend (in charity) out of the sustenance that We have bestowed on you before that time when death will come to someone, and he shall say: "O my Lord! If only you would grant me reprieve for a little while, then I would give in charity, and be among the righteous." - The Holy Quran, 63:10

CHARITY SAVES

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Save yourself from hellfire by giving even half a date-fruit in charity." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 498

CHARITY IS A PURIFIER

A man once said to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): "I have plenty of property, a large family, a great deal of money, and I am a gracious host to my guests. Tell me how to conduct my life and how to spend (my money)." The Prophet replied: "Give (regular charity) out of your property, for truly it is a purifier, and be kind to your relatives and acknowledge the rights of the poor, neighbors and (those in need who seek your help)." - Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number 3
