Egypt…
A cup of hope,
whenever it is mentioned,
song overflows.
And whenever it is absent,
the heart falls silent,
its beat stilled.
For Egypt
is not a homeland
we inhabit,
but a pulse
that dwells within us.
Whenever distance tore me apart,
it was you,
O Egypt, who were the knife
that brought me back to life.
