الحمــد لك يا عظيــم الشـــان  ...  ياعالم    السر   والجهر اعطــف على دمعــة الحيــران  ...  راحت على وجنته  تجري درب  الخطــا  يا  الهي  كــان  ...  دربي  وأمر  الهوى  أمري سلمت نفسي الى  العصيان  ...  لاني   اداري    ولا   أدري مثل  الســفينة  بلا  ســكان  ...   تلعب بها الريح في البـحر يا  مالك   العفو    و  الغفران  ...   ادعوك  يا  كاشــف  الضر أقف  في  بابك  وانا  خجلان  ...   على الذي فات من عمري يــارب   يا  مفــرج  الأحـــزان  ...    فرج لي الهم في  صدري يــا كاتـــب  النصــــر  للإيمان  ...   اجعل سبيلي  الى النصر

I consider the light that enters the room in the early hours of the day as a messenger of the sun, a direct voyager, a particle, a wave, who knows, but an object of sorts that left its solar source, covered miles, and landed on my skin. So the universe constantly visits us while waiting for us to reverse that itinerary.
