In 1304 An Arabic globetrotter had emerged from Africa's reign
His insatiable thirst had guided his desire for greater knowledge
With a curious mind... and a whole heart for his purpose
Embarking on a journey to remember
North... East... Without a compass
Egypt and Europe are places he embraced
South... West... So bold and restless
The corners he roamed alone still speak his legacy
How I wish I knew you
Unroll the map of all your dreams
This ardent grandeur of your odyssey intrigues that part of me
Hymn... of a land; entranced by its chants across the sands
Determined to forge his path through the Sahara, then through the Nile
Awed, in disbelief; at the splendor beyond the sea
All wonders of Africa had led him to thee, Medina
Asia won't be untraveled
A path drawn to Southern-east
The Mongol and India
The Black Death he outran
Could not stop his desire
His wanderlust was unquenched yet again (will never be)
Ambassador of love is the aim (eternally)
Rulers and kings for such wisdom lied in wait (blown away)
You don't know how much I yearn for you to take me!
Where borders were just a myth!
Voyageurs' deliverance!
From a broken world into the deepest space
When he knew that his parents had died due to the black death
"I... have returned; for the heartache I heard from you
My quest will resume, and pain will one day subside... As I hold the family's name high"
His wanderlust was unquenched yet again (will never be)
Ambassador of love is the aim (eternally)
Rulers and kings for such wisdom lied in wait (blown away)
You don't know how much I yearn for you to take me!
Where borders were just a myth!
Voyageurs' deliverance!
From a broken world into the deepest space
In the darkest night, to Andalousia he had set his sail
Ibn Juzayy was the accompanying witness for this breathtaking journey
Its secretes... still unfathomed
كانت تراودني أطياف لأمصار شتى من وحي الكتب"
بيد أن رحلةً أسمى كانت هي الأقرب إلى ذهني
"فكانت وجهتي في البدء صوب وجهة تهفو إليها القلوب
The 14th century marked his history
And the trails he blazed around the world
As many have defied that dream, only few had a chance to follow
From the edge of Tangier, to setting foot in three continents
Such expedition will be retold for years to come.
Done thrice before... but never again
Standing firm throughout the test of time
His book "The Travels" reads a story against the grain
And perhaps, a new breed may rise to write it again
Along with Zheng He, and certainly Marco Polo, This traveler is the last of the trilogy
His wanderlust was unquenched yet again (will never be)
Ambassador of love is the aim (eternally)
Rulers and kings for such wisdom lied in wait (blown away)
You don't know how much I yearn for you to take me!
Where borders were just a myth!
Voyageurs' deliverance!
From a broken world into the deepest space
"إنه السفر؛ يتركك صامتاً، ثم يحوّلك إلى قصّاص
