Weddad (Arabic: وداد, lit. “Song of Hope”) is a 1936 Egyptian romantic musical film.
Weddad, also transliterated as Wydad, is based on a romantic tale inspired by Omar Khayyam's One Thousand and One Nights. The biggest production of its time, it was the film debut of Um Kalthoum. The film's success turned Misr Studios into the top studio in Egypt.
