Here is "Samra Ya Samra." It's a great song, and I'm posting for everyone. But try to learn it by ear first. It's good practice.

All the best,
John

thanks John.
anybody have any more of these?

I found "Ya Gamil, Ya Gamil." My best advice is to search Google Images using the Arabic script name of the song, composer or singer. I made the fascinating discovery (after asking many Arabic-speaking non-musicians and getting the wrong answer) that the Arabic word for sheet music is "nota": نوتة

Equally fascinating--and useful--is the Turkish word, "notları," because of the vast amount of Turkish music sheets available on-line (compared to the modest amount of Arabic music sheets available).

Happy hunting!

Best,
Udi John

Found "Hebbina"

If you can read Arabic, check out this site: http://www.ahyasalam.com/?mode=MUSICSH&lang=AR&artistid=12

All,

The "Ah Ya Salam" website has a lot more music sheets that I had thought. Worth checking out if you read Arabic!

The English section of the Ah Ya Salam website has a lot of sheet music...I can read Arabic but checked out the English site and it's pretty great! Here is a link: http://www.ahyasalam.com/?mode=MUSICSH&lang=EN

Thanks Amos! I can read some Arabic, but it's much easier for me in English!
