Language is the essential medium of human communication, and it takes various
forms, from music to computer code, each of which is suited to specific purposes.
This paper explores the realm of vernacular language, infused with sarcasm, within
the contexts of poetry and folk music. Specifically, we explore its transformative role
within the socio-political landscape of post-1967 Egypt, shedding light on its
dynamic impact on the political and social structure of the time.
Our research places particular emphasis on the works of Ahmad Fouad Negm and
his collaborative partnership with Sheikh Imam. Through their unique lens, this
paper explores the profound significance of vernacular poetry as a powerful tool for
articulating the everyday struggles and sentiments of the underprivileged class.
Their compositions served as a means of resistance to Egypt's ruling class and
provided a powerful voice for those marginalized within society. This study
highlights the enduring importance of vernacular sarcastic poetry in addressing
socio-political issues and advocating for the underprivileged in post-1967 Egypt's
socio-political landscape.
