The rhythm and moments I've missed. And keep longing ever since the passing of Almarhum Dato' Seri Shaykh Raja Ashman ibni Almarhum Sultan Azlan Shah (1958-2012), the former Naqshbandi-Haqqani Tariqa leader for Malaysia.
The below videos were recorded ten years ago at Almarhum's residence.
The qasidah band, comprised of talented boys from Kedah and Sarawak, led by Brother Amirul was just awesome. Videos of their performance are borrowed from the Superdervish YouTube channel. May Allah bless them with more significant success in dunya wal akhirah.

It was a privilege to be present at several of the majlis that Almarhum Shaykh Raja Ashman hosted. May Allah bless his soul and place him with the muqarabin. Aamin. Al Fatihah.
Let's have a look at the lyrics for Qul Ya Azim, taken initially from sufilive.com. It was first shared on this blog on 7th April 2011, a posting that garnered 10,000+ views. MashaAllah. The pull of The Magnificent Al-Azeem.

Say O tremendous! You are the Tremendous One
We have been afflicted with a grave concern
And every concern we are worried about
becomes easy with the mention of Your Name, O Great One
Antal qadeem qadeemun fil azal
antal lateef lateefun lam tazal
'Anna azil maa qad nazaal
min faadhil khatbis-shadeed
You are the ancient one, ancient one
You are the subtle with subtleness everlasting
Remove from us what has befallen us
of grave and difficult afflictions

And upon the Prophet of Peace
From us send greetings and blessings
Grant us safety on Judgment Day
From all things which we fear, O Glorious One
CHORUS
Wal 'aali was sahbil usood
saadu bihi beedan wa sood

sayfu' ilaah ibnul waleed
And the lions from the Family and Companions
Became masters through him, regardless of being white or black
Especially the one who wipes out great armies
the Sword of Allah (Khalid) son of al-Waleed
CHORUS
Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik 'alayhi wa 'alaa alaih

Ya Hannan Ya Mannan Ya Khadimal ehsan
O Most Loving, Most Beneficent Lord whose compassion is without beginning
Bahrujuudik malyan judlana bil ghufron
The ocean of Your generosity is abundant, so forgive us
Jud lihazal insan 'abda suu in khozyan
Be generous toward me, one ugly despicable servant
Min zunu bih wahlan kho-if innak khodban
One who is full of sins, fearful of Your wrath
Robbana nastagh fik robbana nastar dhik
O Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness and mercy
Walana zonnu fik ya roja ahlal iman
We think well of you O Lord, unto You the believers pin their hopes

La tughaiyib ro ji tahta baabik laa jii
Do not forsake Your servant who begs at Your door

By the name of the unlettered Prophet and Khadijah the mother
Wal batuulil khotmi sayyida tin niswan
And Fatimah the devout worshipper, the female leader of Heaven
