Hiba Al Kawas - Li'anni Ahya

We travel in the Universe, seeking for the Self…
We are the travelers looking for the Light…
A luminous Light raised, clearing the blessing of serenity…
As who broke the chain and departed…
Far further than a vision…
Closer than the core of the heart…
Contiguous reaching the Soul...
