Marhaba (مرحبا)! I am sure you found the article from the previous post interesting and I am confident you have worked hard on answering the questions. After presenting you with the answers and the translation of some key words, I have added another musical masterpiece by Umm Kulthum called Baeed Annak (بعيد عنك) (Far from You) in a YouTube video with English subtitles. With the momentous changes in Egypt for the last two years and the instability that has been a burden on the beautiful Egypt and its passionate people, one should always remember what this Arab nation has offered to the Arab world and beyond through the various forms of culture, history and art. Individuals like Umm Kulthum are a prime example of what this beautiful Arab nation has to offer.
