Freedom Must for Human Creativity

Without freedom, one’s creativity cannot bloom. Right to freedom is pivotal for the progress of any society. And for this, there should be a sense of global responsibility, a feeling of oneness for all beings.

The slide is not just confined to broader religious beliefs but deeper human values. The need, therefore, is to build efforts for promoting compassion and forgiveness.

The notables have betrayed you

Words by Abdel-Rahman El-Abnoudi

لأعيــــان خـــانوكي
سـارقين طين أبوكي
لعـــدوّك بــاعــوكي
ولإيــــد الــــزمــــن

Your sorrow besieges you

And your worries exhaust you

And why?

Why can’t you cry

The notables have betrayed you

Those who stole your land,

Sold you to your enemy

And did not look back

They sacrificed you and watched you

Being slaughtered

They laughed and left you

And went to get paid

They undressed you in their courtyards

And no one blamed them

They raised their ears 

And wore their bells

Your executioner is a lawyer

Your protector is a thief

What use are my words?

When you are a mute

Close your eyes and dance...

Words by Salah Jaheen

I love to live be it in a jungle deep.

Naked to wake, and naked go to sleep.

To live as beast, bird, man or even ant.

Life is so lovely even as a plant!

Close your eyes and dance... Keep your step light

Your partner is life herself, you are her night.

She'll love you as long as you step proud and tall

If once you look down at your feet... You'll fall!

I was first something, then something else became...

Strange are God's ways who Alone can take and give...

The trees lose their leaves and whispered my name.

"Something must die for something else to live".

Raise Your Voice

Raise Your Voice by Mohamed Mounir

Raise your voice in song
We can still sing
And song is still so much part of our lives
Raise your voice in song, song is still possible

And if one day you feel you'll break

You must stand tall

Standing just as a palm tree stretching towards the sky

Don't be defeated, don't break down

Don't be afraid

Be a dream blossoming in the desert

Your song among the chorus shakes my joyous heart

Healing all my wounds

When you dance, I dance, I'm compelled to dance

Our dreams become intertwined

When you dance, I dance, I'm compelled to dance

Don't be defeated, don't break down

Don't be afraid

Be a dream blossoming in the desert

Raise your voice in song

We can still sing

محمد منير - علي صوتك

على صوتك بالغنى لسه الاغانى ممكنة, ممكنة

ولسه يامه ياما ياماه فى عمرنا

على صوتك بالغنى لسه الاغانى ممكنة, ممكنة

ولو فى يوم راح تنكسر لازم تقوم

واقف كما النخل باصص للسما للسما

ولا انهزام ولا انكسار ولا انهزام ولا انكسار

ولا خوف ولا ولا حلم نابت فى الخلا

على صوتك بالغنى لسه الاغانى ممكنة, ممكنة

غنوتك وسط الجموع تهز قلبى اللى انفرح

تداوى جرحى اللى انجرح

غنوتك وسط الجموع تهز قلبى اللى انفرح

تداوى جرحى اللى انجرح

ترقص ارقص غصب عنى ارقص

غصب عنى غصب عنى ارقص

ينشبك حلمك فى حلمى

ترقص ارقص غصب عنى غصب عنى ارقص

ولا انهزام ولا انكسار ولا انهزام ولا انكسار

ولاخوف ولا ولا حلم نابت فى الخلا
