Ishara 04:29
lyrics
Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Golap-thar-gondho-bilay? (...the rose gives out its fragrance?) Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Megher-pahar-brishti-jhoray? (...the clouds release the rain?) Ei-duniay (...in this world) Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Hashe-chad-akashe? (...the moon smiles in the sky?) Jonaki-dhey-je-alo (...and the firefly glows...) Mayabi-abeshe? (...in an air of enchantment?) She-kotha-bhebe-bhebe (Pondering over all of this...) Mon-amar-jay-hariye (...my mind becomes lost in wonderment...) Dur-ojanay (...to a faraway, unknown place) Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Golap-thar-gondho-bilay? (...the rose gives out its fragrance?) Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Megher-pahar-brishti-jhoray? (...the clouds release the rain?) Ei-duniay (...in this world) Who made the clouds come by So we can live and be? Sending rain so soft and mild Cleansing you and me? Who gave me clear eyes to see The moon when it beams? He taught me how silent love can be A road to your dreams Who taught the mothers of the world To love us the way they do? When all the trials unfurl All they think of is you You still make me cry You still make me laugh Don't let me ever forget About our golden past And so the world moves on its way Newcomers join every day Tomorrow they will say... Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Golap-thar-gondho-bilay? (...the rose gives out its fragrance?) Bolotho-kar-isharay (Tell me, on whose gesture...) Megher-pahar-brishti-jhoray? (...the clouds release the rain?) Ei-duniay (...in this world)

Salam 02:39

الله أكبر، الله أكبر الله أكبر، الله أكبر يا حبيبي يا رسولي السلام عليك يا حبيب الله يا محمد السلام عليك Now I remember the way you spoke Hearing your voice the world awoke For all the hearts grown into stone You gave them love and hope Where else can I find such a smile That will prepare me for every trial? My dearest friend, where are you today? So you can show me the way Everyday I pray May He send you peace And keep us true to your way Till the day we meet Thinking of you My heart's consumed What would you think of me? On judgement day When you will say My people stand by me الله أكبر، الله أكبر الله أكبر، الله أكبر

Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur Ya 'Alimu Ya Shakur Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One! Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One! Allif baina qulubina Aslih dhata bainina Bring our hearts close together Mend our relationships What makes you sigh? My father said to me Saw you walking by And keeping it from me I do care, I do care Come sit with me Tell me what's on your mind I know how it can be I also was a child Don't despair, don't despair Allif baina qulubina Aslih dhata bainina Bring our hearts close together Mend our relationships How can I tell you about All that I feel You would only start to shout Make a big deal And I'm beginning to doubt If my wounds will heal You're right, I'm wrong, always the same No one, really, knows of my pain Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur Ya 'Alimu Ya Shakur Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One! Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One! Allif baina qulubina Aslih dhata bainina Bring our hearts close together Mend our relationships I never knew You felt this way Sometimes I's true You had no say My hopes for you Made me walk by I left no room To let you try I'd not realized How much you'd grown To make mistakes I'm also prone Ya Rabbi Ya Ghafur Ya 'Alimu Ya Shakur Oh my Sustainer, Oh Off-Forgiving One! Oh All-Knowing One, Oh Most Grateful One! Allif baina qulubina Aslih dhata bainina Bring our hearts close together Mend our relationships I thought I was the only one Who felt this pain Who felt so wronged I thought you didn't really care But now I know I was unfair Without you I would never be The person I have come to be Allif baina qulubina Aslih dhata bainina Bring our hearts close together Mend our relationships

about

Dunya is a collection of retrospective thoughts on some of my experiences in a strange world. I have found that despite all the pain, there is still something you can look forward to. There is hope, and even happiness. God does care about us, after all.

My vision is to present entertainment that enjoins and celebrates our traditional values of learning, gratitude, compassion and family ties.
I hope that the sounds emanating from this album, in echoing a mix of cultures around the globe, will strike a chord with all our listeners.

I will miss the long evenings of recording at the studio, filled with discussion, argument and laughter. It was a real honour to work in the company of such passionate and talented artists; an experience I won’t forget.

Please remember us in your prayers.
