Al Muyazin was born in 1935 in Ashdod, Mandatory Palestine, where he was also educated.[2] In 1948, after the Nakba, he migrated to the Gaza Strip, which was occupied by Egypt.[2]
In Gaza, he operated a printing press, and was arrested by Israelis, before taking part in the early resistance movement in 1956.[2] He later worked as a history teacher, moving in 1957 to Saudi Arabia to teach there.[2] In 1959, he flew to Damascus to work in the Palestinian Liberation Organisation.[2]
From 1973 to 1978, he was representative of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement in Saudi Arabia.[2]
At an unknown date he wrote the lyrics of "Fida'i", a song set to music by the composer Ali Ismael that in 1996 was made the Palestinian National Anthem by the PLO.[3][4]
Al Muzayin died in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 29 March 1991.[2]
