Fairuz was born Nouhad Haddad in Jabal al Arz, Lebanon. She began her musical career as a teenager. From chorus girl at the Lebanese radio station in the late 1940s, to critical and popular acclaim from the 1950s to today, Fairuz is acknowledged not only for her musical talent and contribution, but also as a cultural and political icon. A symbol of a people, a heritage, a quest for peace, and of humanity. During most of her career, Fairuz reflected two other great artists, Assi and Mansour Rahbani. They wrote the lyrics and composed her tunes. Today, many of her songs reflect the composing talent of Ziad Rahbani who is Fairuz's son. Her songs testify to the Rahbani musical genius, as well as to Fairuz's broad musical background. Referred to as "The Soul of Lebanon" in the 1970s, Fairuz became a pre-eminent figure, a superstar of current music in the Arab world. Together, the Rahbani family is both a school of music and a cultural phenomenon.

وكل نجمٍ بأفلاك السماءِ سرَى
وكل نجمٍ بأفلاك السماءِ سرَى
يا نجمة الصبح شعي في معابِدنا
ونوري عقلنا والسمع والبصر
ونوري عقلنا والسمع والبصر
وكل نجمٍ بأفلاك السماءِ سرَى
وكل نجمٍ بأفلاك السماءِ سرَى
يا مريمُ
يا مريمُ
يا، يا، يا مريمُ
The song "Ya Mariamu" by Fairuz begins by addressing the Virgin Mary, who is described as the first (and purest) one to wake up at dawn when the sun and moon rise, and all the stars in the sky scatter. It then continues by addressing her as the star of dawn, whose light illuminates the temples and enlightens our minds, hearing and sight. These lines are a beautiful expression of the spiritual value and guidance Maria brings to the singer and the world.
The repetition of the chorus towards the end emphasizes Mary's importance in the world's physical and spiritual aspects, calling her name as a way of expressing the singer's devotion to her. The overall message of the song is one of the significance of the Virgin Mary in the singer's life, and the devotion and worship that she holds towards her.

Oh Virgin Mary, the sun and the moon have risen and every star in the sky has traveled.
وكل نجمٍ بأفلاك السماءِ سرَى
And every star in the sky has moved along its orbit.
يا نجمة الصبح شعي في معابِدنا
Oh morning star, you shine in our temples.
ونوري عقلنا والسمع والبصر
And you illuminate our minds, our hearing, and our sight.
يا مريمُ

يا مريمُ البِكْرُ فُقْتِ الشمسَ والقمرَ
وكلّ نجمٍ بأفلاكِ السماءِ سَرَى
يا أمّ يسوع يا أمّي ويا أملي
لا تهمليني متى عنّي الخطا صدرَ
يا نجمة الصبح شعّي في مَعَابِدنا
ونوّري عقلنا والسمعَ والبصرَ

انقطع التيار الكهربائي عن حارتنا في هذهِ الساعه . .
عتمةٌ موحشة ، منفضة سجائر مُمتلئة ، عقلٌ قنط من التفكير بشيء جيّد ، ينتشلُني صوت فيروز من كل هذهِ الأعباء . . يحمِلُني لكوكبٍ آخر . .
