Kabbani was a poet of great simplicity – direct, spontaneous, musical, using the language of everyday life.. This translation of Nizar Kabbani’s poetry is accompanied by the striking Arabic texts of the poems, penned by Kabbani especially for this collection.. As I was reading through his work, I enjoyed getting a glimpse of his personality, and the recurring themes of his writing.
Many of the poems I read threatened to made me cry from how perfect it was. (From Goodreads )Nizar Qabbani YoutubeNizar Qabbani PoetryArabian Love Poems Nizar Qabbani Pdf Writer PdfPersonal Take: Published posthumously, this book is a collection of Qabbani’s love poems, with its pages split in two– one side of the pages had Nizar’s original poetry in Arabic, and on the other side were the English translations.. He was an Arab nationalist, yet he criticized Arab dictators and the lack of freedom in the Arab world.. Qabbani was definitely a genius– his Arabic poetry so piercing and straightforward, and yet profound with meaning and emotions with charming, sensual imagery.. All I can say is that I’m lucky that I can read Arabic, because the English translations did his words no justice.
He was a ceasless campaigner for women’s rights, and his verses praise the beauty of the female body, and of love.
