I will turn my scars into stars that adorn the sky,

I hope for high with great determination and I wait for the darkness to turn into light,

My ambition will not stop, no matter how heavy the burdens are,

I achieve dreams and restore even the desert,

Ambition heals wounds with no medicine,

I will swim against the stream of water,

My will is strong and my heart is filled with serenity,

My journey is a journey of determination, will and generosity,

Sculpted with passion and dedication…

 سأحوّل نَدَباتي نجومًا تزيّنُ السماءْ

وأرجو العلا بعزيمةٍ جبّارةٍ علياءْ

وأنتظرُ الظّلامَ ليتحوَّلَ إلى ضياءْ

فطموحي لنْ يتوقَّفَ مهما ثَقُلت الأعباءْ

بالإرادة أحققُ الأحلامَ وأعمّر حتى الصحراءْ

وبالطموح أداوي الجروحَ ولا أحتاج إلى دواءْ

سأحقّقُ الأهدافَ لأنتصرَ وتصبحَ الدنيا بهاءْ

بالطموح وبالإرادة أصلُ إلى حيث أشاء

أصلُ إلى العلياء

إلى أعالي السماء

وأمسح الوجع والآه والبكاء

والليالي الظلماء

ولحظات الحزن والشقاء

ويصبح العالم ضياءً

وصفاءً..

ونقاءْ..

سأسبح عكس تيار الماء

فإرادتي قوية وقلبي يغمره الصفاء

رحلتي رحلة إصرار وإرادةٍ وعطاء

نُحِتت بشغف وإباء
