Hafez Ibrahim's Diwan

Hafez Ibrahim, nicknamed the Poet of the Nile, is one of Egypt's talented poets whose fame spread and whose poetry echoed in the east and west of the Arab world. He was like a prayer, receiving the flow of the nation's feelings, sensations, and influences within himself, blending all of that with his strong feelings and sensations. From him comes the impactful, resonant speech flowing with emotion and strong determination. His collection of poetry is the best expression of this view, containing within its pages the complete poetic works that will inspire the reader and awaken in him Arabism, patriotism, and human values. It will also bring him back to the vigor of the rhymed poem, which carries enough meanings, phrases, and musical rhythm to keep its echoes within himself and his mind. To facilitate the reading of these poems, they are arranged according to poetic themes, which can be identified as follows: praise and congratulations, riddles, description, news, love poetry, and social themes. This is what the first part of this collection includes. As for the second part, it contains the following themes: politics, complaints, and satire. The book has been supplemented with an index of the poems, arranged alphabetically by rhyme.
