Fairuz Poem by Kassem Oude

heaven once took a choice
To give us holy presents
Sure it was Fairuz's voice
Joy in heart it would plant

Soul breakfast each morning
Best companion on long lane
Calm sleep to baby brings
Elderly forget their pain

To birth love and wedding
To life death and sorrow
Holy cities peace she sings
Country green rain and snow

People to God pardon quest
By her chanting He may lean
Clear their sins and accept
Repentance as born clean.
