Baghdad's Soul
In Baghdad's streets where history blends,
The city's heart, a tale extends.
From Tigris' flow to markets wide,
Baghdad's spirit cannot hide.
With minarets and domes so high,
Baghdad's charm will never die.
Through every rush, through every cheer,
Baghdad's heart is always near.
In every smile, in every tear,
Baghdad's soul we hold dear.
With every dawn, with every night,
Baghdad shines with pure light.
Through every step, through every glance,
Baghdad's spirit takes a chance.
In every song, in every dance,
Baghdad's heart beats in a trance.
