Al Oud by Hamza El Din

Different album but I came across these lyrics and just thought they were beautiful.

“The world shines about me, luminous as the moon, smiling like a rose, and a sweet benediction flows through everything existing. How beautiful life is. I marvel at people who are not in love with life. You, my girl, are beautiful, and your beauty, like the beautiful thought of peace, belongs to the eternity. Detest war and destruction. When you go to the riverbank, and the sun sets in the evening, the waters of the river will be rippling softly, and from a distance, in the twilight, you will see white sails. A song of the boatman will come from there. 'Today no suffering, no suffering.' The world shines about me, luminous as the moon, smiling like a rose.”
