Poetry in Arabic terms.

Translation

The book “Illusions of Arab Poets about Meanings” by Muhammad Taymur Pasha addresses the issue of the mistakes that poets can make when describing meanings and facts that they have not seen themselves. The author divides the book into several sections to examine the reasons for these illusions, including the poet’s ignorance of what he mentions due to his distance from it, or his inability to describe what he did not see or witness personally. The book cites examples from ancient Arabic poetry to demonstrate this phenomenon, and emphasizes that even though poets are people of tongue who do not make mistakes in pronunciation, they may fall into exaggeration or negligence in describing meanings.
