Hafez Ibrahim (Arabic: حافظ إبراهيم, ALA-LC: Ḥāfiẓ Ibrāhīm; 1871–1932) was a well known Egyptian poet of the early 20th century. He was dubbed the "Poet of the Nile", and sometimes the "Poet of the People", for his political commitment to the poor. His poetry took on the concerns of the majority of ordinary Egyptians, including women’s rights, poverty, education, as well as his criticism of the British Empire and foreign occupation. He was one of several Egyptian poets who revived Classical Arabic poetry during the latter half of the 19th century. Read more on Wikipedia
