The Story

I tasked myself with art's embrace..
Oh, how enchanting is the art's grace!
Along the years, I've lost my prime.
In youth's bloom.. Through verse and line..
With each line I’ve carefully scribed,
A part of my life takes its flight..

- Sayed Ibrahim (1897 CE - 1994 CE), a renowned Egyptian calligrapher and poet, served as a professor of Arabic calligraphy at Dar Al-Ulum College and the American University in Cairo, within the realm of the School of Royal Calligraphy Improvement.

Many calligraphers in Egypt and the Arab world were nurtured under his guidance, earning him the title "Dean of Arabic Calligraphy" bestowed upon him by his devoted disciples.

THE STORY

Whispers of love are carried from the valley's embrace
Oh love, take me back to my homeland's grace
Oh love, you dance in the winds above
To the wallflower, the window, the photo, take me back, oh love
Oh, the yearning in my heart, it swells with each mile
To grow old, to be forgotten,
Take me home, to my land's cherished smile

The mother of fresh springs, do you know her?

The mother of a million palm trees, do you know her?!

Her land is always safe,
The mother of civilizations,
Raising the beacons high.

Tales of people
from here and there,
fill the hearts
with laughter and grace.

From all around, far and beyond,
stories are told of every kind.
Words travel, with you and I,
but most of all, our hearts collide.

The Story

A nation of love we stand.
Strong together holding each other’s hand.

It is a gesture simple in action,
But in heart it is grand.

Take my hand I will show you the way.
I am the one to depend on at the end of day.

I am your past, present and future.
Others might come and go, but I am here to stay

The Story

“Say something, I’m giving up on you.
I’ll be the one, if you want me to.
And I will swallow my pride.
You’re the one that I love,
and I’m saying goodbye.
Say something, I’m giving up on you.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t get to you.”

- Lyrics by A Great Big World

The Story

The Moon is Earth’s only satellite, a quarter of its size, moving around us in an orbit that increases an inch and a half a year. Many cultures and personalities have been fascinated with it.

Poets have written about it, and beautiful women have been compared to it (like the moon or a 14th moon). The moon has been the lovers’ companion and secret keeper for many years. Its ray guiding lonely hearts through the night.
