Lyrics: Nadim Naaman
Music: Dana Al Fardan/Nadim Naaman/Dana Al Fardan and Nadim Naaman
How many years
Chasing what I have found here?
From Damascus to Baghdad
My hope endures
But I will not be
Locked inside a vicious mass
A source of thoughtless envy
For those who wish me gone
Iβve found my guide
Found the mirror to my soul
My patience was worth the sleepless nights
Iβve found my guide
He can walk this path alone
My equal in seeking only light
The true believer is such
That when heβs accused
Attacked from all sides
How he gently endures
Not a word against his critics
No spite and no blame
How can there be opponents
When we are the same?
Iβll leave tonight
Leave in silence with no shame
My Rumi
I will not soil his name
Iβll leave tonight
In time heβll understand my choice
For while the parts must change
The whole remains the same
