I remember hearing a somewhat lengthy, slow-paced, soulful song, sung by a female voice, accompanied by a lot of strings, with the opening words:
أي صوت خالد الإيقاع عذب النغمات
I hardly remember any other line. The last time I heard the song on radio was in 1985.

I have taken the plunge and posted the question on that forum, hoping to prove to myself that I didn't dream this song up. Thank you, Randa, for your suggestion.

I think you could get some helpful answers if you posted your inquiry at Zeryab's classical music forum
Zeryab has proven useless. I posted two questions yesterday. Not only did I receive no responses, but my questions are no where to be found today. No explanation was sent to me about the fate of my questions.
Thank you for your suggestion, anyway, and I will keep searching.

Thank you for alerting me. I obviously had no idea what I was doing. I have reposted the question, so let us see.
I remember the opening melody line, and I can write it down if that would trigger anybody's memory, but I doubt it.
A few other words that linger in the crevices of my senescent mind:
أي صوت خالد الإيقاع عذب النغمات
طاف كالبشرى
something or another
وسرى كالأغنيات
Somewhere in the middle of the song, a section in an improvisatory style begins
أيها الليل اتئد
The rest is pretty foggy.

Salaam Fuad,
When I read your post, 2 names came immediately in mind, one suggested by the rythm, the other a song I loved..
The song I appreciate is Mayyada Hannawee's (is it her?)
هتف الصبح وغنى بنشيد
رائع اللحن شجي النغمات
كالمنى..
But the rythm and the spleen perhaps, suggested Abulkacem Chabbi, but a thorougful look to his works, did not help, I looked in all his verses ending with T
قافية التاء
But the words are not his.
I just thought to post a couple of his verses, singing his beloved in his famous:
صلوات في هيكل الحب
عذبة أنت كالطفولة، كالأحلام، كاللحن، كالصباح الجديد
كالسماء الضحوك، كالليلة القمراء، كالورد، كابتسام الوليد
....
....
كل شيئ موقع فيك، حتى لفحة الجيد واهتزاز النهود
It ends:
وحرام عليك أن تهدمي ما شاده الحسن في الفؤاد العميد
وحرام عليك أن تسحقي آمال نفس تصبو لعيش رغيد
منك ترجو سعادة لم تجدها في حياة الورى وسحر الوجود
فالإلاه العظيم لا يرجم العبد إذا كان في جلال السجود
Good luck
Ouadoud

this could be a song by 'Nazek' (of the 50's)
The more I think about it, the more I am inclined to think it was سعاد محمد. The song was very much in the style of رياض السـنباطي
One thing I am puzzled about is that I only heard the song on Radio Kuwait. The reason may have been that the programmers had good taste.
I will continue searching.

The song you are referring to is أشواق by رياض السـنباطي, which was revived by ميادة الحناوي. Too bad they don't allow attaching files here, because I have this song in an mp3 file.
In any case, ميادة الحناوي is far too young to have been the singer. It was someone who flourished probably around the time ميادة الحناوي was born.
But it is interesting that you mention أبو القاسم الشابي, because it is quite possible that the singer was the same singer who sang إرادة الحياة. Do you remember who it was by any chance?

I have visited this website, but I do not see a way to search for what I need based on a few words in the lyric. In fact, I have googled all the words I remember, hoping to at least find the poem somewhere, but nothing turned up. That is why I have resorted to asking real people, rather than databases, just in case someone has heard the song. I am sure many have heard it, but it is the kind of song that either makes an indelible impression or completely slips by like background noise.
