Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on December 29, 1938)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Abdel Rahman El-Abnudi! With words sweeter than basbousa and sharper than Cairo's traffic debates, your poetry collection "Death on the Asphalt" remains timeless. You reminded us all that beauty lies not in fancy phrases but right there—in Egypt’s noisy streets, vibrant markets, and even chaotic roads.

Your heartfelt children's stories woven seamlessly with pure Egyptian dialect have enchanted generations of young fans (and their nostalgic parents!). Thanks for teaching kids across Egypt about life's wisdom while making them giggle endlessly along the Nile banks. Today we celebrate you—may your day sparkle brighter than Ramadan lanterns!
