Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 22, 1969)

Happy birthday to the legendary Ahmed Fouad Negm! Another year wiser, yet still as rebellious and sharp-tongued as ever. Your poetry continues to echo through Egypt’s streets louder than Cairo traffic at rush hour—truly timeless!

From your fearless verses challenging injustice, earning you the 2013 Prince Claus Award for Unwavering Integrity, you've become our beloved folk hero whose words ignite hearts faster than Egyptian tea wakes us up in the morning.

May this new chapter bring more laughter and fewer run-ins with authority figures (though we secretly enjoy those too). Keep inspiring generations; after all, legends like you never age—they just rhyme better!
