Does anyone know the author of this piece?

Also I don't know if bars 32-35 are correct.

The composer is Abdel Wahab Bilal.
The piece is called Longa Shaharzad.
The bar 32-35 are correct.
But there are little mistakes in the bar 16-17 and 23.
Here is a correct partition taken from the oud method of Jamil Bachir.

Thank you very much indeed Microber. Strangely enough I can't find many recordings of this piece around the internet. Really glad to have the information.
