Fat El Ma'ad

Fat El Ma'ad (Egyptian Arabic: فات الميعاد, romanized: fat elmiʿad, lit.'The Time Has Passed') is one of the iconic songs by the Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum. It was written by Morsi Jamil Aziz, composed by Baligh Hamdi, and sung in 1967. This song is the second collaboration between Umm Kulthum and lyricist Morsi Gamil Aziz, following "Seret El Hob" (1964) and before "Alf Leila wa Leila" (1969), which marked their final collaboration. All three songs were composed by Baligh. Renowned for its profound lyrics, intricate musical composition, and Umm Kulthum's unparalleled vocal delivery, this song remains a significant piece in the history of Arabic music. It is composed in maqam "Sigah".
