Speaking of Haila haila, I vividly remember the boat song in an old  
Egyptian radio program called “Ma`ruuf al-Iskafi”. The words I  
remember go like this (haila haila salli `a nnabi . . . . haila hail  
salli `a nnabi . . ;. Ya raiyyed salli `a nnabi ya raiyyes.” I  
believe the singer was Karim Mahmoud.

             Stay buoyant, salaam
