High-fidelity Arabian art-orchestral instrumental prologue, brisk 6/8 around 103 BPM. Energetic Qanun is the dominant lead, establishing a distinctive two-bar leitmotif that must remain recognizable throughout the entire multi-part work. Large divided violin sections attack dynamically with precise marcato, accented spiccato and détaché, answering each other antiphonally while always developing the same motif. Add active viola and cello counterlines, not string pads. Brief exposed Ney solo transforms the motif lyrically; brief dark Duduk solo transforms it slowly and gravely. Midway intensity grows through contrapuntal complexity. Finish with a mesmerizing thematic Qanun solo, increasingly virtuosic but never random, then full violin statement and unresolved suspension. Audiophile natural acoustics, extreme clarity, realistic bow and pluck transients, wide orchestral depth, controlled bass, large dynamic range, no wall of sound.

[Instrumental Intro — spacious, no percussion] [Low strings, breathy duduk, isolated koto harmonics] [Female Contralto — intimate, almost whispered] مَا الدَّهْرُ يَمْضِي… نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ نَمْضِي. وَاللَّيْلُ يَبْقَى… وَالنُّجُومُ تَرَانَا… ثُمَّ تَنْسَى. --- ## I — نَحْنُ نَمْضِي [Verse I] كَمْ شَادَ مَلِكٌ حَوْلَهُ بَابًا وَسُورًا وَحَجَرْ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّ الْمَوْتَ يَخْشَى الْحَرَسْ… فَدَخَلَ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْحَرَسْ. وَبَقِيَ الْبَابُ. وَبَقِيَ الْحَجَرْ. وَغَابَ مَنْ قَالَ: **هُنَا أَنَا.** [Short instrumental response] [Qanun low register + koto] [Verse II] وَكَمْ مِنِ اسْمٍ خُطَّ فِي صَخْرٍ لِيَبْقَى، مَرَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرِّيحُ… حَرْفًا بَعْدَ حَرْفٍ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ الصَّخْرُ وَحْدَهُ. [Pre-Chorus] فَلَا تَقُلْ: سَأَبْقَى. وَلَا تَقُلْ: لِي الْخُلْدُ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ مَشَى عَلَى هَذَا التُّرَابِ سَيَتْرُكُهُ. [Chorus — first appearance, restrained] **مَا الدَّهْرُ يَمْضِي… نَحْنُ نَمْضِي.** فَإِنْ مَرَرْنَا فَلْيَبْقَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنَّا مَا يُضِيء. إِنِّي عَابِرٌ… لَكِنَّنِي لَنْ أَعْبُرَ الدُّنْيَا كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ. [Percussion stops] **مَرَرْتُ…** [One-beat silence] **مِنْ هُنَا.** --- ## II — يَا مَوْتُ [Duduk solo] [Very low frame drum pulse] يَا مَوْتُ… مَا أَنْكَرْتُ أَنَّكَ فِي نِهَايَةِ كُلِّ دَرْبْ. وَمَا قُلْتُ يَوْمًا: لَنْ تَجِيءَ. أَعْرِفُ أَنَّ الْقَلْبَ مَهْمَا طَالَ نَبْضُهُ، سَيَسْكُتُ. وَأَعْرِفُ أَنِّي سَأَلْتَقِيكَ. [Build slightly] لَكِنْ… إِذَا أَخَذْتَ الْيَدَ الَّتِي بَنَتْ، فَهَلْ تَأْخُذُ مَا بَنَتْ؟ وَإِذَا أَسْكَتَّ الصَّوْتَ الَّذِي دَعَا، فَهَلْ تُسْكِتُ مَا أَحْيَاهُ فِي الْقُلُوبِ حِينَ دَعَا؟ [Refrain] لَكَ آخِرُ الْمَطَافِ يَا مَوْتُ… أَمَّا أَوَّلُ الْخُطَى فَلِي. لَكَ أَنْ تُوقِفَ النَّبْضَ… لَكِنْ لَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْمُرَ أَثَرِي أَنْ يَنْتَهِي. [Silence] لَكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ لِقَلْبِي: **قِفْ.** [Two-beat silence] لَكِنَّكَ أَعْجَزُ مِنْ أَنْ تَقُولَ لِمَا تَرَكْتُ: **مُتْ.** [Instrumental Passage] [Rebab solo over distant low strings]
