lyrics

Shoft Alnur
(A. Kheir/ A. Wight)

The breath of the soul O people
Its visions that of light O people

It was a thunder that split the sky
From the depth of slumber it awoke

The breath of the soul O people
Its visions that of light O people

It was a sight that shook the oceans
Until today the ramnants of fire

The breath of the soul O people
Its visions that of light O people

It was a moment that lit the darkness
For the rest of nights and days

The breath of the soul O people
Its visions that of light O people

It was a journey that lasted a lifetime
It opened the doors to the heavens

The breath of the soul O people
Its visions that of light O people
