Mubarak may have stepped down, but the regime is still in place. The NDP is still active. We can't say the revolution succeeded yet. It's a lot tougher now to get our demands met, but not giving up hope.
The government changed a few ministers, but a lot of old faces are still there, starting with the PM. They may have changed their language a little bit, but they're actions are the same, they still treat us like children. There are still attempts to stifle the revolution.
Some people say enough protests, we need to get back to normal to build Egypt. I agree we need to build Egypt, but what is normal? The normal I know is what we've had for more than 30 years. If that's the normal we're going to have, then no thanks. Life needs to go back to right not normal. And till the government is changed, till the constitution is amended or rewritten, we're not getting there. Till we have free & fair elections, we have a long way to go.
Some people are afraid of the coming elections because we don't have strong political parties. The possible scenarios are either having a parliament run by the NDP or the Muslim Brotherhood. I think it's a risk we need to take, but only take once the constitution guarantees no one party / person has all the power.
Ya Allah help the revolution, it's not over! Be with the people! Ya Allah help us reach our goals. Ya Allah protect Egypt & its people. ORL
I found a translation to the song from my previous post. So this time I looked for a translation first. The translation is from this page. I edited it a bit.

*Note at the beginning of the song, Mubarak is saying, "Ha33od affir kol 7aga fil balad ya3ni? Ya ragel, kabbar mokkhak" which means something like, "You think I'd read (about) everything (happening) in the country? Come on, ignore that".
Kabbar means enlarge, but in Egyptian Arabic it also has the meaning of ignore, look over something. You can say kabbar plain or other versions are kabbar mokkhak, kabbar demaghak (lit. enlarge your brain, enlarge your head). Maybe it also means rise above something, it's not worth thinking about or worrying.
