Upper Egypt

Behold how the River Nile generously flows, And hugs the banks with its gentile waves
It flows and smiles to the sun above, It flows as the blood inside a body
It flows as the breaths inside the lungs, It flows to greet farms and gardens
It flows and waters thirsty throats, It flows and waters flowers and trees
It flows and offers fish for food, It flows and floods the dry soil
It flows through a valley of its creation, It flows beside great pyramids and temples
It flows to crown a heavenly land, It says: ”Take my waters and grow”
It says: ”let my immortal waters flow”, It says: ”Within my surge life awakens”

Omar Ibrahim
