    Smile Song of... Umm Kolthom?

    Hello everyone (this is my first post ^^):

    I have a lyric in arabic, I guess it is from Umm Kolthoum, but I'm not sure and also I don't know its titles. If anyone from Egypt (or anywhere else) would help me please??

    I will attach only the 1st lines, to don't load the post:

    يا فؤادي، رحم الله الهوى كان صرحا من خيال فهوى

    اسقني واشرب على أطلاله وارو عني، طالما الدمع روى

    كيف ذاك الحب أمسى خبراً وحديثاً من أحاديث الجوى

    وبساطاً من ندامى حلم هم تواروا أبداً، وهو انطوى

    يا رياحاً، ليس يهدا عصفها نضب الزيت ومصباحي انطفا

    وأنا أقتات من وهم عفا وأفي العمر لناس ما وفى

    كم تقلبت على خنجره لا الهوى مال، ولا الجفن غفا

    وإذا القلب - على غفرانه - كلما غار به النصل عفا


    Thanks in advance, Aisha.

    Hello,
    It is by Om Kalthoum / Um Kolthoum (م كلثوم) or however you want to spell it. The song is called "Al-Atlal" (الأطلال). There is more information here: Umm Kalthoum: Songs

    Glad to help. I just realised I missed the first letter off her name in Arabic. It should be: أم كلثوم
