Garden of Your Name

[Intro]
[Instrumental oud and qanun taqsim]

[Verse 1]
Your name arrives with the morning breeze,
A silver cup beneath the orange trees.
I speak it softly, and the courtyard hears,
A tender bell from vanished years.

[Chorus]
O name of grace, remain near me,
A lamp beside the ancient sea.
In every letter, gardens bloom,
Your sound makes room inside the room.

[Verse 2]
The qanun answers, thread by thread,
While blue dusk gathers overhead.
A ney remembers hills afar,
And violin follows one bright star.

[Chorus]
O name of grace, remain near me,
A lamp beside the ancient sea.
In every letter, gardens bloom,
Your sound makes room inside the room.

[Bridge]
If time should scatter stone and rose,
If every road forgets where it goes,
I’ll keep your name beneath my breath,
A living garden past regret.

[Final Chorus]
O name of grace, remain near me,
A lamp beside the ancient sea.
In every letter, gardens bloom,
Your sound makes room inside the room.

[Outro]
Your name, your name—
A garden still in my heart remains.
