Wasif Jawhariyyeh (Arabic: واصف جوهرية; 14 January 1897 – 1972) was a Palestinian composer, oud player, poet and chronicler. He is known for his memoirs, The Diaries of Wasif Jawhariyyeh, that spans over six decades from 1904 to 1968, covering Jerusalem's turbulent modern history, including four regimes and five wars. British Member of Parliament Layla Moran is his great-granddaughter.[1][2]
