(Zaman Al Wasl- Video)- I will come in with the protection of its sons and my faith in them
After nearly 20 years of absence and sweet remembrance
For 20 years, they concealed in its crossroads
Guards who armed me with weapons I did not see
And they passed me by with weapons I did not see
But I will come
I will come even as a refugee
the refugee meaning has changed
And left its old dictionary
I will come to Homs, alone.
I will come to Homs, in thousands.
I will approach her with love and tenderness
Homs baptized me,
Homs Islamized me
Homs is worthy of me to be her thousand love and sadness
To be a river of memories for me to heal
And for her to heal
