Science is capable of everything. One must try to embellish and improve one's inner power through science. We can neglect everything except science. The soul is like an oil lamp whose science is the flame. The miracles of the gods are the oil of this lamp. If it burns and shines it means that one lives. Without this force of light we belong to the dead. Poem of the famous philosopher and doctor Ibni Sina, 980-1037. The music emphasizes the meaning of the text of the poem.

Only sounds pronounced differently in the Turkish language are applied. In addition the composer uses the meanings of the rhythms and the Turkish scales which are underlined by the music.
