Poem by Ibrahim Nagi
Al-Atlal (Arabic: الأطلال, "The Ruins") is a poem written by the Egyptian poet Ibrahim Nagi, which later became a famous song sung by Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum in 1966.[1] The songs text was adapted by Umm Kulthum and its melody composed by the Egyptian composer Riad Al Sunbati[2] two years after her first song composed by Mohamed Abdel Wahab, “Inta Omri” (إنت عمري, "You are My Life"). Both of them were a huge success.
