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> </p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1082/1600;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/affde636-32b0-4a53-9803-3815d3148421.jpg" ></figure><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><br> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);font-size:18px;">Ziad Rahbani from acting to music composition</span> </h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><br> <span style="font-size:14px;">Ziad Rahbani made his stage debut in the play "The Station," playing the role of a policeman.
