Here is the official Audio Video of ‘I Only Knew Love’ (or “‘Araftul Hawa”) from my album BARAKAH (Deluxe). This is a famous poem of the 8th century female Sufi saint of Iraq, Rabi‘a al-‘Adawiyyah, and has been set to music many times, but this Andalusian melody fits the tone and rhythm of the poem beautifully. The inclusion of the tanbour and daf add a Persian influence to the piece. Special thanks to Dr. Tim Winter for providing the English lyrics and translation. I hope it is both musically and spiritually uplifting. With prayers. _sy.
