I said: Ghazal is one of the most prominent themes of Arabic poetry. It is concerned with expressing feelings of love and longing and describing the beloved. It has accompanied Arabic poetry since the pre-Islamic era, and its styles have varied between chaste ghazal and explicit ghazal. Among the terms associated with it in literary books is 'tashbib,' which refers to the opening of the poem or including verses about flirting with the beloved and describing her beauty. It is a literary genre known among a number of Arab poets, before it later developed into multiple poetic schools and trends.

Many poets became famous for this type of poetry. The name of Al-Nabigha Al-Dhubyani is associated with literary stories preserved in heritage books. Sources abound with news of ghazal poets such as Imru' al-Qais, Umar ibn Abi Rabi'ah, Qays ibn Dharīh, Jamil ibn Ma'mar, Antarah ibn Shaddad, Al-Muraqqish the Elder, Zuhayr ibn Abi Sulma, and Urwah ibn Hizam, who immortalized in their poems different images of love and emotion.

Ghazal was not limited to Arabic poetry; world literature also knew it. Among its most famous poets are William Shakespeare, Lord Byron, John Keats, and Percy Shelley.

This topic still deserves further research and study, due to its literary, historical, and cultural dimensions.

He said: What is the thing that saddened you these days?

I said: There is no doubt that the scenes of fires that some regions in the world witnessed in the past days were painful, along with their unfortunate human and environmental impacts. On the other hand, despite the high temperatures in the Arab Gulf states, we are accustomed to the summer atmosphere, asking God Almighty to protect everyone from all harm and to perpetuate the blessing of security and safety.
