Hi Teslim,
You can find that, and many other good Arabic music scores, on the Ah Ya Salam site: http://www.ahyasalam.com/play_song.php?songmd=bf106127c6e13bd37394d...
All the best,

John that site is awesome. Have anymore links like that? I would love to see them!

Hi Navid,
The Ah Ya Salam site is the best of the best for Arabic music, with recordings, song info, etc., as well as music sheets. I found a few other sites
while trolling the web for Arabic music sheets, for example: http://abdennegi.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_165.html
Do you know any good sites for Persian music sheets?
Peace out,
"Udi" John

thanks for sharing...
Unfortunately I don't... I have to ask some friends. I will ask and repost.

One of the reasons I love playing Middle Eastern music is its improvisational nature. You can find more than one transcription of a well-known song,
and each will be different. Not only do different musicians play the song differently, but different listeners HEAR it differently as well. The same
way that I never cook a new dish using only one recipe--I always look up several and take the best ideas from each--I like whenever possible to have
many transcriptions of the same song, to see what is different in each. I even occasionally try to find transcriptions of songs I have already
learned by ear to see if there is anything I've missed or to pick up new ideas for ornamentation.
