The most difficult moment in Fairuz's life Inside the Bikfaya Church, Fairuz sat in painful silence, bidding farewell to her son, Ziad Rahbani, in a moment that encapsulated the pain of a lifetime. Beside her was her daughter, Rima, whose eyes bore clear sadness, a rare scene filled with emotion and awe. Fairuz's public presence was in itself a silent yet eloquent moment, as tears mingled with prayers and memories, and the church seemed to capture all of Ziad's music and words.

A farewell to an exceptional career Ziad Rahbani passed away last Saturday at the age of 69, leaving behind a tremendous artistic legacy that transformed the face of Arab song and theater, and incited thought, criticism, and love all at once. Ziad, who wrote, composed, and confronted the world in his own way, left us in physical silence, but he remained present through his voice, his lyrics, and his transcendent influence. The Lebanese bid him farewell, as befits a man who shaped their cultural consciousness for decades.
