Arabic at ZIA

What is today terminal 1 at Zia International Airport (ZIA) is actually the extension that was made later. Terminal 2 used to be the original building. My curiosity is with the Arabic neon sign outside the building. What does it say? Why Arabic?

Rayyan spins while Onadi sings

The huge krishnochura tree at Charukola in Dhaka is no more; it fell during a storm in May 2009. But there are many memories of it, of times we spent under it.

An evening last year Rayyan spins fire.
Onadi renders a song of Lalon Phokir lamenting the Rasul showing up lighting the path and then leaving, begging his presence again.
While I... am on my cell phone creating this.
