Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on October 19, 1937)

Happy Birthday to the amazing Tarek Ali Hassan—composer, philosopher, musician extraordinaire and chief endocrinologist with a polyphonic twist! You're truly one-of-a-kind: elegantly blending medical mastery with symphonic brilliance. Rumor has it your students attend lectures just as eagerly to decipher complex endocrine systems as they do your latest musical compositions.

Your recent successes continue inspiring us all; composing harmonies that keep both musicians and thyroid glands perfectly in tune is no small feat! May this birthday bring you melodies sweeter than glucose levels after dinner, rhythms steadier than heartbeat under pressure—and plenty of applause not only from concert halls but also lecture theaters.
