"Tell me"
-The introduction was inspired by a mawwâl (a vocal improvisation) by Nazim Algazali, a great Iraqi singer of the past century, itself based on a text by the poet Abu Alfiras Alhamdani who wrote in the 10th century.
The poet wrote these lines in prison where he conversed with a dove, blaming it for weeping when it is free (in the Arabic language, cooing is traditionally associated with moaning).
“While a dove cooed next to me, I said,
‘O friend, are you lamenting my imprisonment?
Fate did not know which one of us to choose,
So come and share my sorrow.’”
-Then comes a song by the same singer :
“Tell me beautiful, whence God sent you?”
