Al Mutannabi: Wisdom from the Master of Arabic Poetry

The Story

In a nation enamored with poetry above all else, Al Mutanabbi (c. 915 – 965) stands as one of the greatest Arab poets, if not the undisputed greatest. Over the centuries, his verses gained an indelible luster, combining the wisdom of philosophers and the sharp, insightful wit of everyday proverbs.

“No matter the praise”, Ibn Al-Athir, one of the most notable poetry critics said, “Al-Mutanabbi will always be far greater”.

In our new art print, we collected over 30 lines from the treasury of Al Mutanabbi. Curated from his complete works, this is the master of Arabic poetry at his very best. Each of the selected lines is so iconic that it is immediately recognizable to Arabic speakers, even those who are not into poetry. The lines are organized in every row to tell a story, and to guide the reader on a poetic journey– one where Al-Mutanabbi tells us his recipe for a good life.
