Salving Heights

Sky aglow upon your reflection
Blue eyes of glass bestowing affection

A symphony segueing perpetually,
A Psalm of praise ascending gradually

One by one you extend along,
Road by road you chant this song

Heights you reach, you soar, you shimmer,
Your translucent eyes they shine, they glimmer

With pride you stand, built to build
A future ignited with glory, fulfilled

Your widening roofs, a reflection of sun
Amidst thy beauty, all beauty has begun

Abraj of Dubai… Decorum of future 
                                Adornment of sky 

 	

Abraj: The plural form of the Arabic word “Burj” which means tower
