“Zahran was the hero of the battle against the British and the first to be hanged. The ballad dwells on Zahran’s courage and doggedness in the battle, how he walked with his head held high to the scaffold, feeling proud that he had stood up to the aggressors and killed one of them. I listened to that ballad night after night, half-awake, half-asleep… I often saw Zahran and lived his heroism in dream and reverie — I wished I were Zahran (Anwar el-Sadat, In Search of Identity: An Autobiography I 1977, pp.5-6).”
