Sah El Nom

Step by step I entered a room...
Step by step I approached my chair...
Slowly, people entered the same room...
Slowly, they approached their own chairs...

As the room was filled,
the lights dimmed out...
As the people quieted down,
curtains at the end of the room slowly opened...

Step by Step I entered a room...
Step by step I approached my chair...
Slowly, people entered the same room...
Slowly, they approached their own chairs...

Silence was embedded across the room,
as music was displayed....
Lights exhibited the whole stage behind the curtains, except....
a single spot at the front....

As the music began to fade away, 
A spot light sparkled that single spot....
and the people in that room....
stood in applause to what was revealed....

Fairouz was the one standing in that spot
ready to perform....
Ready to sing and act...
As the audience calmed down and watched... 


Sah El Nom, an Arabic word which means "Good Morning", was the name of that play...
