Renaissance of Arab poetry
Neo-classicism
May we be ransom for a guest awaited \\ Who has appeared in wondrous guise,
His harbingers make mountains quiver \\ As passion cauases flanks to quiver
With glitter he adorns the seas: \\ Theirs are the cups and his the bubbles
He lights the highlands as he ascends \\ He lights the plains as he regresses
--Ahmad Shawqi (1868 - 1932)
