The reason there are discrepancies is that it's a folk song and there isn't necessarily a definitive version. Your best best (as with all Arabic
music) is to listen to various versions.
Here's a good one by Sabah:

Just to amplify what Brian said: You can listen to many recorded versions of the song, and use the many scores available as a general guideline. I
often use multiple scores of common Arabic songs the same way I use multiple recipes for a new dish. I take from each what I like, and discard what I
don't like, in order to either recreate something I tasted while travelling, or create something new that pleases me. Like the Irish lamb stew recipe
I found in one of my American cookbooks, which has something like 15 ingredients (which I knew was way more than what I tasted in the Dublin pubs
where I ate it!), many scores of common Middle Eastern songs incorporate embellishments that are not part of the "core" melody, and can be confusing
and distracting when you are learning a new melody.

Your approach is very helpful for me. I am new to Arabic music which attract me with increased interesting.
Yes i must to learn to work in the way that you have suggest and not to find to play the absolute music scores.
