\/>\nAnd there is no wonder in that,<br \/>\nAnd that is not too much for (Egypt) ..<br \/>\nFor from it the lights of the first prophecies emanated,<br \/>\nAnd it responded to the calls of the first monotheism,<br \/>\nAnd it received the vanguards of the first Islam ..<br \/>\nAnd it drew the features of civilization<br \/>\nThe first ..<br \/>\nAnd thus it became in the eyes of many<br \/>\nThe

from it from words and actions ..<br \/>\nAnd Egypt has been since eternity,<br \/>\nAnd will remain in eternity ..<br \/>\nIt is (Egypt) ..<br \/>\nIt is not only (the mother of the world),<br

..<\/p>\n<p>This is what I came out with,<br \/>\nAnd I left it in the year (2006 ) ,<\/p>\n<p>After (three and a half years),<\/p>\n<p>I spent it as a (media advisor),<\/p>\n<p>in (the Sudanese Embassy)..<\/p>\n<p>And today I am overcome with nostalgia, so I return<\/p>\n<p>to what my thoughts included,<\/p>\n<p>(methods and refinements,<\/p>\n<p>(from the book to the Blue Nile Channel)..<\/p>\n<p>It is a remembrance and attachment to those days<\/p>\n<p>of the past and the bright days..<\/p>\n<p>And here I am today,<\/p>\n<p>my family, acquaintances and those of my affection,<\/p>\n<p>flowing to it, taking it as a good residence,<\/p>\n<p>and a good livelihood,<\/p>\n<p>and a safe haven..<\/p>\n<p>In (the year 2002) I submitted my resignation<\/p>\n<p>from (Sudan TV), so Mr. (Abdul-Dafi Al-Khatib) offered me<\/p>\n<p>a job (as a media advisor in Egypt)..<\/p>\n<p>And (Abdo) as our friend<\/p>\n<p>editor (Saleh Mohamed Ali),<\/p>\n<p>He was that day (the Secretary-General) of the Ministry of Information),<\/p>\n<p>and (the preacher), one of those who shower you with care and kindness that makes you happy and elevates you,and you are with him like someone sitting with (a musk bearer) who does not bring you anything of his own accord except<br \/>\nwhat comforts and pleases you..<br \/>\nI agreed, after hesitation that was caused by a feeling of my helplessness regarding this great mission, in this (country),<br \/>\n(the country) from which (the action) begins,<br \/>\nand (the country) to which (the doers) end..<br \/>\nAnd I landed in (Egypt), burdened with fears and hopes..<br \/>\nAnd fortunately for me, the ambassador that day was<br \/>\n(Ahmed Abdel Halim) ..<br \/>\nAnd (Uncle Ahmed) when you approach him<br \/>\nyou realize what the morals of the nobles are like,<br \/>\nand what their actions are like..<br \/>\nHe is generosity, politeness, modesty, elegance, and understanding..<br \/>\nYou can&#8217;t help but respect him,<br \/>\nfor I heard more than once<br \/>\nthe president (Hosni Mubarak) calling him (Uncle Ahmed) ..<br \/>\nand he is patience, for he was sick with a sickness that only those close to him knew, for he<br \/>\ndid not complain, nor get bored, nor weaken,<br \/>\nto the point that we derived strength and endurance from him as he dealt with us and sought<br \/>\namong us..<br \/>\nHe would sit for long hours in<br \/>\nhis inhabited inn, telling his guests the talk of an expert about the events that took place and their outcomes, so he did not get bored nor did they get bored..<br \/>\nHe would flow as he narrated and told stories,<br \/>\nso you would regret that these treasures of knowledge remained locked in his chest to go<br \/>\nwith him..<br \/>\nI was happy when I saw the brilliant journalist (Mudawy Khairallah), sitting with him<br \/>\nand He interrogated him, and when he realized in his notebook, page 47,The disease intensified on (Uncle Ahmed)<br \/>\nand then he passed away ..<br \/>\nHe passed away after a life spent its years<br \/>\nin a chaste and ascetic manner ..<br \/>\nAnd since I was close to him, he preferred me to him and confided in me his special affair, so I bear witness that he met his Lord while he was in debt and free from what people boast about<br \/>\nand marvel at ..And no one informs you like an expert ..<br \/>\nAnd I do not find anyone more knowledgeable than our professor the distinguished prince (Jamal Ankara),<br \/>\nwho supports what I have gone to,<br \/>\nand what I will come to ..<br \/>\nAnd I began to turn around in the regions of (Egypt)..<br \/>\nAnd by virtue of my interest,<br \/>\nI came very close to (Maspero) where<br \/>\nthe headquarters of (the Radio and TV Union) is located,which can accommodate (35,000 employees)<br \/>\nAnd I was the first to strive ( To the city of media production, where the image is made and visions are formulated..<br \/>\nI frequent the (Opera) to relax and unwind..<br \/>\nI often visit (Al-Ahram Foundation), in the days of (Ibrahim Nafeh),<br \/>\nwhere the greatness of journalism and its authority is evident,<br \/>\nAnd once I accompanied the ambassador (Abbas Al-Nour),<br \/>\nand he was (Minister of State for Information) at the time,<br \/>\nand he was amazed when he saw the (elevators) despite their large number and size, and they were filled with many people, so he turned to me jokingly:<br \/>\n(Oh Hassan, now God, they all come here to write and walk!!) ..<br \/>\nAnd dozens of dozens of mothers of (their) expectations and (their) rewards, which bear fruit every time, from the arts of speech, performance, knowledge and the adornment of worldly life..<br \/>\nAnd its effect was that tomorrow ( The action)<br \/>\nWhat (Egypt)did,<br \/>\nAnd (the saying) what (Egypt) said,<br \/>\nAnd (the good) what (Egypt) approved of..<br \/>\nAnd you are in (Egypt), and with the least effort<br \/>\nYou find yourself surrounded by a dear group of people with a common concern, who support you and pave the way for you..<br \/>\nOn the first day of my arrival,<br \/>\nI woke up to the phone of the journalist and the brilliant writer (Asmaa Al-Husseini), and she is (Sudanese)<br \/>\nMore by passion than (Egyptian),<br \/>\nAnd after that the writer doctor<br \/>\n(Amani Al-Tawil), and I remember her invitation<br \/>\nTo me one day at her house with a generous group,<br \/>\nAnd what she overwhelmed us with of celebration<br \/>\nAnd honor, And the lover of (Sudan) and its people, (Sabah Musa),<br \/>\nAnd the media professor (Mahmoud<\/p>\n<p>Hussein), before he joined ( To Al Jazeera Channel) ..<br \/>\nAnd Dr. (Hani Raslan) ..<br \/>\nAnd the great journalist, (Hamdi Rizk), and I am very grateful to him<br \/>\nFor that invitation he made to bid me farewell,And her mother was a group of friends ..<br \/>\nAnd the beautiful Dr. (Hanan Youssuf ),<br \/>\nSpecialised on Media (Ain Shams University),<br \/>\nAnd (Dean of the Faculty of Media at the Maritime Academy) and Head of the Arab Organization<br \/>\nFor Dialogue and International Cooperation),<br \/>\nAnd (Hanan), the ultimate sweetness, and the ultimate<br \/>\nLove for everything Sudanese, and her attachment to Sudan pushed her to establish (the Nile Popular Initiative) ..<br \/>\nAnd between me and them the brilliant,<br \/>\n(Nadia Musa), does not rest ..<br \/>\nThese and those,<br \/>\nAnd many of the knights of (the word), I found them by my side, so I achieved of the goals that were difficult for others ..<br \/>\nAnd for my part, I wandered around it ..I seize every opportunity to be present<br \/>\nin its (clubs) and (forums),<br \/>\namong its (stars) shining<br \/>\nand its (lighthouses) shining ..<br \/>\nI am keen to follow (Cairo Radio and TV Festival) ..<br \/>\nAnd I am pleased to see my friend (Ibrahim Abu Zekry) head of (General Union of Arab Producers), who made this (festival) a wedding of elegance, beauty and creativity ..<br \/>\nAnd on a sad day, I participated with more than<br \/>\n(15,000 ) in the funeral of (the brown tiger) the artist , actor (Ahmed Zaki) from the square of the (Mustafa Mahmoud) Mosque,<br \/>\nand I saw how the(Egyptians) cried,<br \/>\nFrom the highest to the lowest, who embodied<br \/>\ngreat roles in their lives<br \/>\nand their contemporary history.. I visited the poet (Abnoudi), and once I took him in my car from<br \/>\nhis residence to (Cairo Airport), and also when he returned from (Sudan) in response to an invitation from my late friend (Ezz El-Din Mohamed Ibrahim),<br \/>\nfounder of (Sudanese Sound).. And this is (Abnoudi), (Spring grass, no matter how much it is trampled by the foot,<br \/>\nor swayed by the wind, it grows up again,<br \/>\nsinging for the greenery and the taste of pain)..<br \/>\nAnd upon the assignment of my brother (Jamal El-Wali<br \/>\nHead of Al-Merreikh Club)that day,<br \/>\nto extend an invitation to him, I was happy to visit the artist (Mohamed Mounir) at his residence<br \/>\nlocated in (Garden City),<br \/>\nand although the visit did not take place, I stood on the extent of his keenness<br \/>\nto take (sound devices ) His own, the artist (Feeling)<br \/>\nand (Voice) and Time ..<br \/>\nAnd I stood still for a long time in front of (Sahara)<br \/>\nand his mother who decorates the entrance,<br \/>\nAnd this is (Munir) when he sings,<br \/>\n(She told me your mail, my boy<br \/>\nMy uncle<br \/>\nCome taste the honey running on<br \/>\nMy mouth<br \/>\nTake it easy, I don&#8217;t carry<br \/>\nThe burden<br \/>\nTake it easy, this is my father&#8217;s trick<br \/>\nAnd my mother&#8217;s<br \/>\nMint of the garden watered in<br \/>\nHiddh<br \/>\nThe banana tree casts shade on<br \/>\nHiddh<br \/>\nSticks) ..<br \/>\nAnd in the house of the singer (Jawaher) and her husband<br \/>\n(Sami) I will never forget that (table) crowded with all the delicious and tasty, in honor<br \/>\nof me, and my friend the ambassador Dr.<br \/>\n(Abdul Aziz Hassan Saleh),<br \/>\nAnd how happy we were when we were the guests of<br \/>\n(My love, O America) ..<br \/>\nAnd in the last third of (Ramadan)<br \/>\nMy phone rings ..<br \/>\nHow are you (Abu Ali) ..<br \/>\nHello (Sheikh Ali) ..<br \/>\nI, my dear, am coming tomorrow as usual<br \/>\nTo attend (the artists&#8217; suhoor) and I will be back immediately ..<br \/>\nThis is (Ali Mahdi) ..<br \/>\nAnd the artist ambassador (Ali Mahdi),<br \/>\nHe has good fortune and influence in Egypt<br \/>\nAnd support, and he has followers and disciples ..<\/p>\n<p>And I took him from (the airport) to<\/p>\n<p>(Mariouteya Canal), where he lit up<\/p>\n<p>the place (with stars) and (chandeliers),<\/p>\n<p>And the artist<\/p>\n<p>(Laila Elwi) shared (the suhoor table) with us, and she stayed next to<\/p>\n<p>(Sheikh Ali) throughout our stay,<\/p>\n<p>And she was clearly happy and delighted<\/p>\n<p>To be next to him, which aroused my joy,<\/p>\n<p>Not my envy, and after a while he complained about me, jokingly, to a mutual friend that he<\/p>\n<p>Introduced me On (Laila Elwi), and I kept walking behind him..<\/p>\n<p>With the utmost smoothness and ease you find yourself flowing in (Egypt),<br \/>\n(Egypt) that you knew and became familiar with,<\/p>\n<p>before you descended to its land, and mingled with its humans and jinn,<\/p>\n<p>you find yourself knowing it pyramid by pyramid,<\/p>\n<p>and street by street,<\/p>\n<p>and cafe by cafe,<\/p>\n<p>and neighborhood by neighborhood..<\/p>\n<p>you know it,<\/p>\n<p>mosques, markets, gardens,<\/p>\n<p>and restaurants, beaches, theaters,<\/p>\n<p>and universities, and libraries..<\/p>\n<p>and if you never chanted (Nasser)<\/p>\n<p>your eyes have teared up and the lady<\/p>\n<p>(Umm Kulthum) is crying (the ruins)..<\/p>\n<p>(Perhaps our destinies will bring us together one day after the meeting has become rare) ..<\/p>\n<p>and (Ahmed Rami) mourns her after her death,<br \/>\n(It never crossed my mind that I would mourn her after what I composed of her most sorrowful songs.<br \/>\nI used to hear her sing and it would delight me, and today I hear myself crying and making her cry)..<br \/>\nAnd if you haven&#8217;t read (Al-Abqariyyat)<br \/>\nor (Al-Ayyam) or (Al-Zilal) or (Kul<br \/>\nAl-Shuhur July), or (Rahleti min<br \/>\nAl-Shuq ila Al-Yaqin), or (Al-Ebrat),<br \/>\nthen you have certainly stayed up nights with<br \/>\n(Awlad Haratna) or (Al-Omr Lahza)<br \/>\nor (Al-Batiniya) or (Al-Farafeer)<br \/>\nor (Al-Wusada Al-Khaliyya)..<br \/>\nAnd certainly,<br \/>\nyou have read (By Mohamed Hassanein Heikal)<br \/>\nand (Anis Mansour)..<br \/>\nand you have listened to (Kishk),<br \/>\nand (Abdel Basset Abdel Samad),<br \/>\nand ( Al-Shaarawy),<\/p>\n<p>And (Al-Shaarawy) shook me, in his last days, while holding (Hosni Mubarak)\u2019s hand, reminding and preaching, and he said,<\/p>\n<p>Among what he said:<\/p>\n<p>(If you are our destiny, God will help us against
