Mounir has changed a whole generation by his amazing live performances and deep lyrics and totally new music.
Mounir, has also gathered experiences in film: the film Destiny from Youssef Chahine, a prominent outsider in Egyptian cinema and at the same time its most internationally reknowned representative, is a reckoning with the growing fundamentalism of his country. Mounir plays the singer Marwan from the 12th century, who escapes an attempted assassination by stirred up fanatics the first time, but succumbs the second time - a reference the Algerian Rai singer, but also Egyptian literary figures like Nagib Mahlus or Farag Foda.
Mohamed Mounir is more than the most enigmatic figure of Egyptian pop heaven. He often performs controversial opinions on politics and philosophy with his thought through and therefore inevitably provocative lyrics. The former art student began his career in the Cairo of the 70s and advanced quickly to an outcast artist, but not without rubbing everyone up the wrong way. He became a synonym for a liberal way of thinking and the longing for reform with his music and its contents.
"I have a dream of a better human being, of better living standards," Mounir said, adding, "I hate corruption, I hate fear and I love dreams that are based on logic."

Mohamed Mounir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
سارح في غربة بس مش مغترب
وحدي لكن ونسان وماشي كده
ببتعد معرفش او بقترب
ايديا في جيوبى وقلبي طرب
سارح في غربة بس مش مغترب
وحدي لكن ونسان وماشي كده
ايديا في جيوبى وقلبي طرب
سارح في غربة بس مش مغترب
وحدي لكن ونسان وماشي كده
ببتعد معرفش او بقترب
The lyrics of Mohamed Mounir's song Eidiya Fe Geyobbi describe his state of mind as he navigates through the feeling of being lost and alone. In the first verse, he mentions how despite having the means to fulfill his needs, such as having money in his pockets (Eidiya) and a heart filled with joy (طرب), he still feels lost in a foreign land (غربة). He emphasizes that although he is alone, he is not an immigrant (مغترب).
In the second verse, he repeats the same line, emphasizing the contrast between having possessions and being lost. He also repeats the line about being alone and forgetting. The third verse repeats this again. However, the song’s ambiguity lies in the last line when Mounir sings about leaving but still unsure if he is getting closer or moving further away.
This song showcases the human condition of trying to find happiness and purpose in unfamiliar places, while in the process of losing parts of oneself. It also emphasises on how difficult it is to adjust to a new culture and environment, while still trying to hold onto one's identity and individuality.
