Preeminent living tarab master

  • Qul lil-maliha. A traditional mawwal. Observe: musical-poetic control, singer-instrumentalist interaction, singer-audience interaction, ambiguously evocative text, repetition, improvisation, spontaneous instrumental fills.

Qul lil-maliha fil-khammar al-aswadi
Madha fa`alti bi nasikin muta`abbidi?
Tell the beautiful girl in the black veil
What did you do with a pious ascetic?

Leeh biydari kidah (Why Is He Hiding His Feelings Like This?)

For nights I was calling my darling and he did not come
He doesn't ease my mind and doesn't know what's happening to me
What can I do? I love him so much
Woe is me oh my fire
When I see his image before my eyes all day and night
What can I do? I love him so much
Woe is me oh my fire
When I see his image before my eyes oh what's with me?

Then why is he hiding his feelings like this
And he is unaware like this
And I don't know
Why is he confusing me
And why is he running away from me
And I never cross his mind
