My longing

We have never known a poet for whom necklaces of praise were formulated, and contracts of praise were composed for him, more than what was formulated and composed in Shawqi: he is called the prince of poets, and every poem of his is described as impeccable, and every one of his compositions is considered a glue of Shawqi, his words are the perfect jewel, and his meanings are the orphan essence, this is how you describe him. Newspaper car, and this is what his poetry narrators say about him. He deserved a lot of this description: he is the poet of love and kinship, the compiler of events and history, the owner of wonderful wisdom and well-known proverbs, the interpreter of national sentiment and the advocate of religious belief, the reviver of the study of antiquities and the rouser of enthusiasm for great deeds, the caller for union and harmony and the immortal extractor of truths from dreams.
