I've been looking to add some timeless, classic Arabic love songs to my repertoire for weddings and engagement parties, and my awesome DJ colleagues were kind enough to give me some recommendations from their most-frequently requested songs!
This one comes from Studio Nada (instagram: studionadaphotography! Thank you, friend!
"Aatini Al-Naya Wa Ghanni" is a poem by the famous Lebanese poet-philosopher Gibran Khalil Gibran. The music was composed by Najib Hankash and performed by Fairouz.

English Translation:
Give me the flute and sing
for singing is the secret of existence
And the sound of the flute remains
After the end of existence.
Have you, as i did, taken the jungle
A house without limitations
Have you followed the Runnels
And climbed the rocks
have you bathed in its fragrance
and dried yourself in its light
Have you tried drinking the Dawn as your wine
out of divine cups
Have you, as i did, sat in the afternoon
Between the grapes plants
with the clusters hanging
like golden chandlers...
Have you, as i did, slept on the grass at night
And used the sky as you blanket
Ascetic in what will come
Forgetting what has passed
Give me the flute and sing
Forget the disease and medication
For people are only lines
written with water

Original lyrics:
أعطني الناي و غن
فالغنا سر الوجود
وأنين الناي يبقى
بعد أن يفنى الوجود
هل تخذت الغاب مثلي
منزلا دون القصور
فتتبعت السواقي
وتسلقت الصخور؟
هل تحممت بعطر
وتنشفت بنور
وشربت الفجر خمرا
في كؤوس من أثير؟
أعطني الناي و غن
فالغنا خير الصلاة
و أنين الناي يبقى
بعد أن تفنى الحياة
هل جلست العصر مثلي
بين جفنات العنب؟
والعناقيد تدلت
كثريات الذهب
