On a Cairo stage sixty years ago, the voice of Umm Kulthum first gave life to the immortal lines, 'Oh my heart, do not ask where love has gone. It was a palace of fantasy, and it has collapsed.' The premiere of the song 'Al-Atlal' (The Ruins) was not merely a concert but a historic convergence, uniting the 'Fourth Pyramid'—Umm Kulthum—with the poet Ibrahim Naji and composer Riyad al-Sunbati in a single, transformative artistic act.
