A quick chat with Ahmed Rami inside the Azbakia Garden Theatre on the night Umm Kulthum performed his masterpiece "Dalili Ehtar" for the first time. Rami was ill and hadn't left his bed for some time until he finally emerged to attend the monthly Umm Kulthum concert, which marked the beginning of her singing season on December 1, 1955. She sang "Sahran Lawhdi" (Staying Up Alone), "Dalili Ehtar," and concluded with the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Rami recalls that the success of "Ya Zalimni" (You Who Wronged Me) led to the transformation of "Dalili Ehtar" from a monologue into a taqtuqa (a type of Egyptian song), at Umm Kulthum's request. The alteration involved adding a refrain from the text to each verse, creating a taqtuqa:

"I ask, when will you and I meet with the days?

Between your distance and my longing for you

Between your closeness and my fear for you, my guide is confused and has bewildered me."

The late journalist Hosni El-Hadidi then asked him about the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Rami spoke about his time studying Persian in Paris to translate the quatrains directly from their original Persian into Arabic. He also shared information with the Arabic listener about the ease of the grammar. The Persian language benefits its listener by providing information about the Arabic origin of many Persian words within the framework of ethics, spirit, and religion.
