“The heartbeat changed … then slowed … and life stopped at four thirty.” So the Egyptian newspapers reported the departure of the Arab singer Umm Kulthum, who left our world on this day on February 3, 1975 CE. , after filling her life artistic works with distinctive works, where she began to sing as a child with her father on birthdays and weddings, and in 1922 she moved to Cairo, and formed her first musical takht in 1926 AD, and today, with En On the anniversary of his passing, we published the original manuscript of “The Evacuation Song”, written by the late poet Ahmed Rami and composed by the musician Mohammed Al-Moji.
Evacuation hymn
Oh Egypt, the truth has come, so welcome the dawn of hope
Today the evacuation has been completed and the blessing goals have been achieved
Egypt has read our eyes
This is our land, blessed and harvested
How can we accept others as a means to our homeland?
We are the ones who protect the home, we are the ones who take care of the neighborhood
And everyone who is normal and a neighbor tasted evil
We live on lightning promises until those times have expired
Then we come into existence as Fire, Light and Sunna
We will protect our borders with trackers on the plains and plateaus
They circled our seas of swimmers, hot on Alabab’s heels
And our sky was studded with rogues in space like a meteor
Those years passed us between wishes and assumptions
Until the morning of certainty was evacuated, and Egypt read our eyes
Umm Kulthum was born on December 31, 1898 in the town of “Tamay Al-Zahaira” affiliated with the Al-Sinbillawin Center in Dakahlia Governorate. It was her starting point when she met the poet Ahmed Rami and later the composer Muhammad Al-Qasbaji. Muhammad Al-Qasbaji began to prepare Umm Kulthum artistically and morally by forming his own band, and the first set of music would be a substitute for the turbaned linen he was always with, when the newspapers threw a thunderbolt against him. Perhaps this is what caused his father to relinquish his role as singer and retire himself and Sheikh Khaled, about a year later Umm Kulthum took off her diadem and cape and appeared in the costume of Egyptian women, and in 1928 she published a monologue “If I forgive and forget Al-Asiya”, which made her very famous, to participate with her voice in the movie “Children of the self” in 1932.
Later, Umm Kulthum joined the Egyptian Radio since its inception in 1934, and was the first artist to enter the station, and participated in several films, after which she dedicated herself only to singing, and among the most important songs is “You are my life, Al-Atal, love, one thousand and one nights, and patience has limits” and sang many of the patriotic songs, and in the seventies he suffered a kidney infection, while traveling to London for treatment, until his death on February 3, 1975.
