In a large bowl, mix the shredded phyllo dough with the remaining clarified butter and semolina flour until well combined.
Spread half of the phyllo dough mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Place the mozzarella cheese on top of the phyllo dough layer.
Cover the cheese with the remaining phyllo dough mixture, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
Bake the knafeh for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the knafeh is baking, prepare the sugar syrup by combining the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
Cook the sugar syrup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened slightly.
Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and stir in the rose water.
Once the knafeh is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
