(1886—1939) Egyptian poet known as the "Pioneer of Arabic Children’s Poetry." He composed many songs, anthems, poems, and educational plays, perhaps the most famous of which is "Samir the Child for Boys and Girls." His poetry was distinguished by the simplicity and fluency of the classical Arabic language he used, and by the variety of its subjects, which included education, entertainment, and developing children’s awareness of identity. He worked as an employee in the Ministry of Public Education (1902–1911), then moved to the Egyptian National Library, where he became known for his cultural activity, holding seminars and turning the library into a center for the gathering of writers and poets, to the point that some people called it "Dar al-Harawi."

And finally, perhaps the adult reader remembers this beautiful simple song:

Do you know my greeting when I come before you?

When I see a gathering, I say: “Peace be upon you.”

Muhammad al-Harawi is the poet who composed it.
