Kadim Al Sahir

Again Kadim composed this song musically, before even getting the rights of the words from the poet “Nizar Quabany”. He was composing it after graduating from college, while in the army!  War was everywhere! He said he used to put the sheets of the music in one room and sleep in another, so if he were killed his music would live! And after the danger was over, he got a tattoo to remind him of his struggle in composing this song! The tattoo is a music tune from the song on his chest!   This song is the second favorite song to Nizar the poet!  The music is classic with many transitions and operatic parts! It carries deep sensation of sadness, love and loss in one amalgamated scene! and Kazim voice is magical in getting you in the "cities of sadness"!

And after six years of searching, it turned out to be an unknown Arabic teacher living in Lybia by the name of Hassan El-Marawan! He proved to be the true author; he had a video reciting the poem while graduating from college, the whole poem not just parts of it!  Turned out the whole poem is 355 lines poem! He loved a girl by the name of Lyla, and she simply dumped him for another one with more money and this broke his heart! It was Hassan’s only poem...
