I found this stanza from poetry in one of the Egyptian and I thought it is worth sharing
Rays & Shadows: يا بنات إسكندرية
Khaled ,the owner of Rays & Shadow blog was already inspired by a Stanza he found in a mailing group written by Phillip Slattery under the name the Women of Cairo
Eyes made of the Egyptian night
Sparkling like an oasis pool
Skin the color of the endless sand
Beauty of forgotten goddesses lives on
beautiful, is n't it ??
well Khaled Reda made the Alexandrian version of it , go and read it 
Glistening water and sunny sun
Bronzy, silky, shiny skin
Blue black starry night
Make a majestic manhood
To royal eyes, plight
It is good to know that the women of Cairo still inspire poets along with the famous girls of Alexandria
By the way this is a famous Arabic piece of Music"well it was actually Turkish piece of music" from the Turath "Classical Arabic music" , it is called {Banat Iskindria}"girls of Alexandria" , It is very famous and there are different versions and I got almost every version of it as I love it so much,it is so cheerful and beautiful
Here is the Loreena Mckennitt's version from the "Girls of Alexandria" from her latest album "An Ancient Muse"
