Name of this song

I've heard this tune in a few different places. I heard one by Ibrahim maalouf called last wishes but now found this version by Wadi3 Asafi and wondering if anybody knows the name. Sounds like an old traditional shami song.

If Hussam is correct, here is a YouTube post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7H5GTxnIPI ; and here is a recording and music sheet: http://www.ahyasalam.com/?mode=MUSICSH&artistid=19&lang=EN . According to Ah Ya Salam, the song (lyrics) were written by Rahbani.
