    Hello there,
    I am looking for any arabic modern love songs that pattern their content on classical arabic literature.
    I'd be grateful for any help.

    Hi

    Majda El Roumi : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majida_El_Roumi
    Kadhem El Saher : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadim_Al_Sahir

    They both have many songs in classical arabic and are both poets.

    Cheb Mami & Kadhem El Saher duo "Fel Maqha"/ Ajlissou Fel Maqha" = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRQb1_U8mMY

    I think Cheb Mami have some classical songs.
