-
born 915, Al-Kūfah, Iraq
died Sept. 23, 965, near Dayr al-ʽĀqūl
Poet regarded by many as the greatest in the Arabic language.
Al-Mutanabbī received an education, unusual for his time and rank, because of his poetic talent. He lived among the
Bedouin and, claiming to be a prophet, led an unsuccessful Muslim revolt in Syria. After two years' imprisonment he recanted and became a wandering poet, eventually leaving Syria for Egypt and Iran. He primarily wrote
panegyrics in a flowery, bombastic style marked by improbable metaphors. His poetic voice is proud and arrogant in tone, and his verse is crafted with consummate skill and artistry. His powerful influence on Arabic poetry persisted into modern times.
