Ahmed Fouad Negm Poems

Who are they and who are we?
They are the princes and the Sultans
...

If the sun drowns in a sea of clouds
And extends a wave of darkness onto the world
And vision dies in the eyes of the vigilant
...

In your marvel, the heavens orbit
The years are long
But how cautious are you!
You that attach the soul to life
...

O Alexandria
Your sea is full of wonders
If only I could be loved...by you? ?
I'm thrown by a wave
...

I never fret, and will always say
A word, for which, I am responsible
...

Mister President
On your seventy something birthday
Happy Birthday
...

Forbidden from travel
Forbidden from singing
Forbidden from speaking
Forbidden from longing
...

The devotees gathered in the castle's prison
The devotees gathered in Bab Al-Khalq
And the sun is a chant, rising from the prison cells
And Egypt is a chant, rising from the throat
...

Name: Saber[1]
Crime: Egyptian
Age: The youngest of my generation
Despite my old, grey plaits
...

Morning has ascended, with its entire splendor in ascent
The light dazzled the kohl in our eyes by its charm
And the bird warbled to the lord almighty
...
