Butterfly's Baqa
“Butterfly’s Baqa” is a heart-opening dance film that invites viewers to drop into their hearts and experience profound beauty. Featuring dancers Mariam-Saba Ahmad and Antonio Samayoa, the film showcases a traditional European waltz, set against the backdrop of modern American pop music. This unique fusion beautifully expresses ancient Eastern spiritual concepts, particularly the idea of “the Baqa,” which emphasizes Divine connection.
The original song, “My Freedom,” written and performed by Mariam-Saba Ahmad, weaves together the film’s artistic elements into a cohesive message. Through this journey of movement and melody, “Butterfly’s Baqa” illuminates the truth that the freedom and connection we seek are always within our grasp, inviting us to return to the Divine in every moment.

Lyrics
Emerge, it’s time
I can’t go back, can’t go back
Old harms haunt me, how they haunt me
Bound, beaten, bruised
I choose the dark
Emerge, it’s time
I can’t go back, can’t go back
My hardened heart binds me
Cracked, weak, confused
I hide in safety
Emerge, it’s time
What is this call
It disturbs me
Deep yearnings stir
Inside me
Chorus:
In the light, is my freedom
In the wind, are my dreams
Dancing to the music
Set forth by my pleas
My freedom, my freedom is all a-round me
My freedom, my freedom is all a-round me
I don’t look back, don’t look back
My faith holds me, how it holds me
Strong, brave and true
I fall to fly
What is this call
It guides me
Deep yearnings stir
Inside me
(Chorus)
Broken wings mend
Broken hearts heal
Every wrong turn was really right
Broken dreams end
Dark times relent
Every answered prayer hidden in the night
It was all a set up
Just a great set up
So I could fly
(Chorus)
Mariam-Saba Ahmad
