He obtained his "attatoui" diploma (the equivalent of the "baccalauréat") in 1928. In 1930, he obtained a law diploma from the University of Ez-Zitouna. The same year, he married and subsequently had two sons, Mohamed Sadok, who became a colonel in the Tunisian army, and Jelal, who later became an engineer. He was very interested in modern literature in particular, and translated romantic literature, as well as old Arab literature. His poetic talent manifested itself at an early age and this poetry covered numerous topics, from the description of nature to patriotism. His poems appeared in the most prestigious Tunisian and Middle-Eastern reviews. His poem "To the tyrants of the world" became a popular slogan chant during the 2011 Tunisian and subsequently Egyptian demonstrations. Echebbi died on 9 October 1934 at the Habib-Thameur Hospital in Tunis, Tunisia following a long history of cardiac disorders. His portrait is on the current 10 DT note. Echebbi was considered by later Egyptian literary critic Shawqi Daif to be among the very finest Arabic poets of the modern era. In late 2010 and 2011, Echebbi's poems became a source of inspiration for Arab protestors during the revolutions of the Arab Spring, which began with the Jasmine revolution in Tunisia. Since then, there has been a revived interest in his work and his biography.  conservative literary groups)  .Hey you, the unfair tyrants... You the lovers of the darkness... You the enemies of life... You've made fun of innocent people's wounds; and your palm covered with their blood You kept walking while you were deforming the charm of existence and growing seeds of sadness in their land  Wait, don't let the spring, the clearness of the sky and the shine of the morning light fool you... Because the darkness, the thunder rumble and the blowing of the wind are coming toward you from the horizon Beware because there is a fire underneath the ash  Who grows thorns will reap wounds You've taken off heads of people and the flowers of hope; and watered the cure of the sand with blood and tears until it was drunk The blood's river will sweep you away and you will be burned by the fiery storm. If the people one day will to live then destiny must respond and the night must disappear and the chain must break. Those who never been cuddled by the passion of life will evaporate in its air and perish. So beware to those who don't desire life from a slap of the victorious nothingness!
