Arabic Poetry

Better to quarrel with the wound
Than be intimate with the knife.

- Qassim Haddad

Jehat Al Shi’ir is one of the best Arabic poetry websites on the Internet. Incidentally, it is based in Bahrain and is directed by Qassim Haddad, a very famous and respected Bahraini poet. It’s definitely worthy of being bookmarked if you’re into Modern Arabic Poetry.

A good feature in the website is having many of its Arabic sections translated into English, French, Spanish, and Dutch.. that's an excellent way to introdue and familiarize Arabic Poetry to people beyond the Arab world.
