The Musical tune to the song is most probably attributed to the poet and teacher Khalil Al-Sakakini when he sang the poem to his students at An-Nahda College in Jerusalem prior to Al Nakba and Occupation of Palestine. The Director Annie Sakkab recreated the tune from memory, in the same way her father and uncle sang it ti her and her siblings as children, in collaboration with the Oud player and musician Tareq Jundi.
