From the song
Wala Hadd ولا حد by SNX
An Egyptian song of single-minded determination. No one will keep me from everything I dreamed of, he says, even if the whole world comes at me. I came to you, and your Lord knows me. When I found everything I had dreamed of, I knew there was nothing like me in the world and that I wished only to be yours. I tired myself out before you, went and came and slept and stayed awake, until I reached the end of what I could do. If I had seen you earlier I would have come to you and done the impossible.
Deeper meaning
The title means no one, and it is a warning to everyone who stands in the way. The song is a declaration of arrival: after many failed journeys, he has found what he wanted and will not be moved. The wish to have met her sooner turns the triumph into something tender.
