The love of Ibn Abi Rabi'a and his poetry

There was no one in Quraish more poetic than him, for his poetry had a greatness in the soul and a thrill in the heart; due to its simplicity, elegance of expression, beauty of description, and its suitability to the desires of the soul in describing beauty and women. The pampered youth of Quraish, Omar ibn Abi Rabi'ah, his lineage and luxury helped him say things about love that no one dared to say, so he sought the pilgrimage season every year, describing women even if they were in the Haram circling. The book in our hands, "The Love of Ibn Abi Rabi'ah and His Poetry," places our poet in the line of criticism, accusing him of his love, revealing what was hidden of the psyche of this poet who stirred all the controversy in his time and after his death. It stands on the beat of his heart and the thoughts of his mind, also highlighting what was unique to him of poetic talent, and how his contemporaries saw him, giving him a trait that distinguished him from others and made him preferable over anyone else.
