She almost didn’t complete the play “Al-Mahta” in which she played a role. His brother, Mansour Rahbani, couldn’t bear to see Fairuz grieving over his brother, so he wrote her the lyrics to a song for her to sing in the play, expressing her deep sorrow over the absence of her lover. Ziad Rahbani composed the song, and he was 17 years old at the time.</span> <br></p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2952/1556;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/fb026407-744c-4f1d-a6d7-97e18a156099.jpeg" ></figure><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);">Ziad Rahbani</span></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="font-size:14px;">Ziad Rahbani, born on January 1, 1956, is one of the most prominent innovators in Arabic music and political satire.

His works were distinguished by their boldness and in-depth analysis of society, in addition to his modern music, which incorporated elements of jazz and Western styles into Eastern music in an avant-garde style.</span></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
