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."

وسهر الليالى وكل يوم بحال
سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة الاحزان
دمعتى موالى والحال قتال
سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة الاحلام
ليلاتى وخدانى فى بحر من الاوهام
سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة العذاب
تعبنى سؤالى ياريت الاقى جواب
وسهر الليالى وكل يوم بحال
سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة الاحزان
دمعتى موالى واللى حيلتى حنان
سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة الاحلام

سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة العذاب
تعبنى سؤالى ياريت الاقى جواب
سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة الترحال

سؤال بسالك ايه اخرة الاحزان
دمعتى موالى واللى حيلتى حنان
The lyrics to Mohamed Mounir's song "Soaal" ask a series of existential questions about the nature of life, love, and loss. The repetition of the question "What is the outcome?" suggests a sense of futility or lack of control over one's destiny. The line "Every night is the same" speaks to the monotony and meaninglessness of daily life, while "My tears are a lullaby and my state is war" evokes the idea of emotional turmoil and struggle. Mounir also asks about the fate of dreams and the possibility of finding answers to his suffering.
Overall, the song is a poignant and introspective reflection on the human condition, and the universal quest for meaning and purpose in life. The repeated questioning of various outcomes and the final plea for an answer speaks to the frustration and anxiety that many people experience when confronted with the uncertain future.
