Mahmoud Mohamed Mustafa Bayram Al-Hariri (March 23, 1893 – January 5, 1961), known as “Baram Al-Tunisi”, is an Egyptian poet of Tunisian origin, and is considered one of the most famous poets of Egyptian colloquial language. The poet Bayram Al-Tunisi was born to a Tunisian family that lived in the city of Alexandria, in the Sayala neighborhood, on March 23, 1893. In his early youth, art linked him with Sayed Darwish, deepened their friendship, and brought them together in the artistic evenings that Alexandria witnessed at that time. Bayram wrote several songs for Sayed Darwish. Bayram entered the field of journalism, where he published the newspaper “Al-Masala”, followed by working in several Egyptian newspapers. Bayram Al-Tunisi was exiled several times; he was exiled from Egypt to Tunisia and then to Paris, to begin his life as an exiled poet who yearns for his homeland, and this appeared in his works that he did while in exile. The 1952 revolution took place in Egypt, and Beram was happy with it and supported it, and wrote poems and songs about it. In 1954, Beram obtained Egyptian citizenship. Then Beram entered the artistic field, composing many songs and musical plays, and working with Umm Kulthum, Farid al-Atrash, Asmahan, Mohamed al-Kahlawi, Shadia, Nour al-Huda, and Mohamed Fawzi. He also presented many radio works. This prompted President Gamal Abdel Nasser to grant him the State Appreciation Award for his efforts in literature and art in 1960. Less than a year had passed since the Egyptian state appreciated him, and he passed away in May 1961, after suffering from asthma, leaving behind a great legacy of songs, poems, and plays for the next generations, and a broad experience full of lessons, especially in the field of social struggle for the homeland, which made him deserve the title of the people’s artist, the poet of the vernacular, and the pyramid of zajal. It is a comprehensive collection of poems and works by the Egyptian poet and playwright, Bayram Al-Tunsi, who was distinguished by his satirical and socially critical writings.
