It's a Game - Sami Yusuf

Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh

They insulted him when they didn’t know him

Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah

They became his followers when they truly knew him

What a shame, what they say

Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh

They insulted him when they didn’t know him

Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah

They became his followers when they truly knew him

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

Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh

They insulted him when they didn’t know him

Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah

They became his followers when they truly knew him

What a shame, what they say

Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh

They insulted him when they didn’t know him

Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah

They became his followers when they truly knew him

Sen benim nazli yarimsin

You, my delicate beloved

Sen benim gozbebegimsin

You, the light of my eye

Sana gonulden baglanmisim ben

Tied to you, at the heart

Sen sevdigim sevdicegim

You are my deepest love, my beloved

Ben seni bir gul gibi koklarim

Inhaling your scent, just like smelling a rose

Askinla tutusur askinla 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 kurarim

Always dream of reaching you

Tera tasawur mera he sakoon hai

The very mention of you becomes my tranquility

Tera nam leana mera hai janoon

To take your name, it becomes my sanity

Woh metee batein teree hee soonoo mein

Those sweet conversation of yours I would listen too

Duniyah boora maa ne tho mein kya karoo

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

Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh

They insulted him when they didn’t know him

Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah

They became his followers when they truly knew him

What a shame, what they say

Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh

They insulted him when they didn’t know him

Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah

They became his followers when they truly knew him

I need you in my life like the air with which I breathe

So let them say what they want to say

It’s the same game they always play

I’ll turn my ears the other way,

It makes no difference either way

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

Let them say what they want to say

It’s a game

It’s a game

It’s a game

They’re always going to play
