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."

أنا بعترف بهواك
ده أنا من زمان عايزاك
تبقى حبيب قلبي
من غير كسوف سبتِ الكلام يتقال
معرفش ليه إتقال
كإنه كان موال
مشيت وياكي للآخر أتاري أولك آخر
عنيكى خدتنى للحلم اللي مابيكملش

وهمتينى وخلاص مقدرش ما أتكلمش
مشيت وياكي للآخر أتاري أولك آخر
عنيكى خدتنى للحلم اللي مابيكملش
كلام خلا أحلامي تشوفني وأشوفها أدامى

The lyrics of Mohamed Mounir's "Men Gheir Kusouf" ("Without an Eclipse") talk about the struggles of unrequited love and the difficulties of expressing one's feelings. The song begins with the singer confessing their love for someone without any pretense or hesitation. They admit to having wanted this person for a long time and dream of them as the love of their life. However, the person they love doesn't reciprocate their feelings, and they feel frustrated with the situation.
The second verse talks about how the singer finds it hard to express their feelings, even though they feel like they should. They've held back their words, as if they were unsure of what to say, and compare it to a song that they keep repeating to themselves. They also express frustration with feeling unable to speak up, even though they're walking alongside the person they love. The chorus repeats a similar refrain, talking about how the person they love is taking them to a dream that they can't complete or expressing their dreams with others.
Overall, the lyrics of "Men Gheir Kusouf" tap into the universal experience of wanting someone who doesn't feel the same way. The singers' reluctance to speak up and their mixed emotions of love and frustration are relatable to anyone who has been in a similar situation.

من غير كسوف قلتي أنا عشقاك
Without any eclipse, you said I love you
أنا بعترف بهواك
I confess my love for you
ده أنا من زمان عايزاك
I've been wanting you for a long time
تبقى حبيب قلبي
To be the love of my heart
من غير كسوف سبتِ الكلام يتقال
Without any eclipse, words were left unspoken
معرفش ليه إتقال
I don't know why they weren't said
كإنه كان موال
Like it was a folk song
بتردديه جنبي
Echoing next to me
مشيت وياكي للآخر أتاري أولك آخر
I walked with you until the end, realizing that you were my last
عنيكى خدتنى للحلم اللي مابيكملش
Your eyes led me to a dream that never comes true
كلام خلا أحلامي تشوفني وأشوفها أدامى
Words that made my dreams see me and me see them in front of me
وهمتينى وخلاص مقدرش ما أتكلمش
And they deluded me and finally I couldn't speak
من غير كسوف أيوه، أنا مليت
Without any eclipse, yes, I got tired
من كتر ما إستنيت
From waiting so much
وتعبت لما داريت
And I got tired when I realized
احساسى بعنيكى
My feeling in your eyes
من غير كسوف أنتي اللي أنا حبيت
Without any eclipse, you are the one I loved
وعشقت وتمنيت
And I loved and wished
شلتك في قلبي سنين
I kept you in my heart for years
عمال أخبيكى
I keep hiding you
ت وياكي للآخر أتاري أولك آخر
I walked with you until the end, realizing that you were my last
عنيكى خدتنى للحلم اللي مابيكملش
Your eyes led me to a dream that never comes true
كلام خلا أحلامي تشوفني وأشوفها أدامى
Words that made my dreams see me and me see them in front of me
وهمتينى وخلاص مقدرش ما أتكلمش
And they deluded me and finally I couldn't speak
