الليل بدموعه جاني

السياق · The story

Ahmad Shawqi hastily wrote this poem in 1927 in Aley, Lebanon, on the day the father of the musician Mohamed Abdel Wahab passed away. It was written for Abdel Wahab to lament his father, following encouragement from Taha Hussein, who urged him to translate his sad psychological state into singing that very night.
