Hey all.

I had a serious question about how to write a tarniema. And especially in arabic.

From my childhood I am a fan of spiritual songs, and when I am in a sensitive mood, i wrote little texts, but because my arabic is also not that good i doubt how i should put it in words.

So, what are the requirements for the lyrics of a song? Also that it not becomes a 'protestant' song or something.

Also, the topics which  I love the most, because they are sensitive, are tears and repentance. Also: sadness.

Also, the kind of songs i have in my minds are like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek_XxlFS_hc
And : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJMAAU3It8c&playnext=1&list=PL858064271C5AA6ED

How are these songs written? Where have they thought of when they wrote them? What lead them write exactly these songs?

So any idea's or advices??

    the best songs that I know are ones that incorporate the teachings of the fathers

    Just write.

    Write what comes to mind and see if you can work with it. I know ones like "Kayfa Ansa" are originally poems written by H.H.
