Ya Laylat al-Eid

"Ya Laylat al-Eid" (Egyptian Arabic: يا ليلة العيد, romanized: Ya Laylat al-ʿīd, lit. 'O Night of Eid') is a song performed by Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum. It was released as a number of the 1940 musical Dananir.

Distinguished in the popular repertoire of Arabic songs by its joyful and optimistic lyrics, it has, for decades, been an especially iconic and durable Eid song, broadcast by radio stations annually during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha across the Arab world.
