Sabah, known locally as "Al-Sabbouha" was born in Bdadoun, Lebanon. Her father was severe towards her, even beating her sometimes. When she started making a small amount of money out of her movies, he used to take it away from her. She married early to leave her father's overbearing financial control. Her brother killed her mother because he believed she was seeing someone outside marriage.
She began singing and acting in the 1940s in Egyptian movies when Egyptian filmmaker Henry Barakat recognised her talent. Her first featured film was "El Alb Laho Wahed" produced by Asia Dagher. Although a Lebanese national, the majority of her films were co-produced with or focused on Egypt. She starred with many famous actors, such as Abdel Halim Hafez, Kamal El Chenawi, Ahmad Mazhar, Rushdy Abaza and Hussein Fahmy.
Until 2009, she performed both in concert and on television, including such programs as Star Academy (the Arabic equivalent of the United Kingdom's Fame Academy), where she sang her new single onstage opposite a line of mannequins displaying costumes from several of her early films and musicals.
She was known to her affectionate fans as "Sabbouha". She was also famously known as "Al Chahroura" (The Singing Bird), because of her poet uncle who was named "Chahrour Al Wadi".
In the 1990s, she and her former husband Fadi Lubnan (Kuntar) made a documentary about her life.
She also developed a close collaboration with singer Rola Saad in remaking some of her old hits, such as "Yana Yana". The accompanying video, in which Sabah is shown as "the notorious diva" to whom her younger colleague pays tribute, has received wide play on Arabic music channels.[citation needed]
Sabah was hosted on Akher Man Yalam on 31 May 2010.
In the 2011 edition of the famous Beiteddine Art Festival, a show retracing the incredible journey of Sabah as a singer and movie star was performed. In the title role Ruwaida Attieh, shared the stage with more than 40 singers & dancers.
After selling her building in the early 2000s, she moved to "Hotel Comfort" in Hazmieh, Beirut. She lived in "Hotel Brazilia" next to her old hotel. She suffered from many illnesses due to several Thrombus in her brain. This caused her to lose control of her left hand and foot. However she did not lose her memories, but she suffered from a diminished ability to concentrate.
Al Shahrourah, a TV drama based on her life aired during Ramadan 2011. She was portrayed by actress/singer Carole Samaha.
Sabah's reaction was mostly positive towards the series and was happy that it was a success. However, she had some comments about inaccuracies, such as the depiction of her father as wearing the traditional Lebanese costumes.
Sabah was married seven times. Here's a history of her marriages:
Najib Chammas (5 Years); the couple had a son named Dr. Sabah Chammas .
Egyptian violinist Anwar Mansy. The marriage lasted four years; the couple had a daughter, actress and singer Howayda Mansy.

Her last romantic adventure was with Omar Mehyo, Mister Lebanon 2000, whom she was engaged but not married to in 2003. The relationship ended in 2004. According to Lebanese Media Magazine Al Mawed and Contrary to popular belief, she is not married to her hairdresser Joseph Gharib,who takes care of her daily.
In addition to her numerous concerts in the Arab World she also performed several times on foreign stages such as:

Her only European TV performance was in 1980, when she was a guest on the French TV show Le Grand Echiquier where she performed "Saidi" and the duet "Aal Naddaa" with French singer Enrico Macias. This duet lead to her ban in several Arab Countries,due to Macias' support of Israel.
Constant rumors involving Sabah's death have been circulating in the past decade because of her advanced age. She has been described as "The artist who would not die". However, Sabah was saddened by those rumors, saying :"Am I bothering them while i'm still alive ?".[citation needed] On the topic of death, she said: "I've lived enough".

Amorty El 7Elwa
Sabah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
يا اكتر حد ف الدنيادي بيسعني
ف بعدك قولي من غيرك هيسمعني
ولو حتي هتوعد كدب ايه يعني
بتوحشنييي
لو شفتو جمالها هتحتارو وتحتارو وتحتارو
تمورتي الحلوة بقت طعمة ولها سحر جديد
In the song "Amorty El 7Elwa," Sabah expresses her feelings of loneliness and missing someone deeply. She starts by saying how much she misses this person, who was her only source of comfort in the world. The person she is referring to was always there for her, and now that they are gone, she feels lost and alone. Sabah then goes on to say that even if this person were to promise to come back, she knows it would be a lie because they have already hurt her so much. She wonders who else will understand her pain or listen to her like this special person once did.
As the song continues, Sabah mentions the beauty of someone named "Amorty El 7Elwa". Sabah seems to imply that this person is so beautiful that anyone who sees her would be amazed by her beauty. "Amorty El 7Elwa" brings a new kind of magic into the world with her charm and grace. Perhaps she is someone Sabah wishes she could be with, but it is not clear.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt expression of loneliness and longing for someone who has left a deep void in Sabah's life. She emphasizes the importance of having someone to confide in and how difficult it is to find that kind of connection with anyone else.

يقول الشيخ صالح المغامسي
ستمكثون تحت الأرض زمناً لا يعلم مداه إلا الله، لن تتمكنوا فيه من أي عمل تنتفعون به ولو تسبيحة، فخُذوا من حياتكم لموتكم ..
هناك أناس بسطاء يعيشون معنا على الأرض، لا مال، ولا جاه، ولا منصب في هذه الدنيا الفانية ..
ولكن ..أملاكهم في السماء عظيمة، قصورهم تُبنى وبساتينهم تُزرع ..
فأكثروا من خبايا العمل الصالح .."
