Al Atlal - Om Kalthoum

A brilliant Om Kalthoum song that never gets old and one that I can't stop listening to.
The poetry is by Ibrahim Nagy, the music by the amazing Riyadh al Sonbaty.


My favorite bit:
يْنَ مِنْ عَيْني حَبِيبٌ سَاحِرٌ............... فِيْهِ نُبْلٌ وَجَلاَلٌ وَحَيَاءْ
وَاثِقُ الخُطْوَةِ يَمْشي مَلِكاً................ ظَالِمُ الحُسْنِ شَهِيُّ الكِبْرِيَاءْ
عَبِقُ السِّحْرِ كَأَنْفَاسِ الرُّبَى.............سَاهِمُ الطَّرْفِ كَأَحْلاَمِ المَسَاءْ
