Diwan of Qais Lubni

Author's name: Qais ibn Dharih

"Diwan Qais Lubna" is a critical and poetic study of a poet who experienced a tragic love story with his beloved Lubna, whom he married, but their happiness only lasted a few years. After divorcing her on his father's advice, Qais was consumed by grief and remorse, and began composing poems expressing his regret and seeking Lubna's forgiveness. This book, compiled by Dr. Afif Nayef Hatoum, examines the poetry of Qais ibn Dharih through a critical analysis, drawing on sources such as "Al-Aghani" and "Fawat Al-Wafayat." The book highlights the virtues of his poetry more than its flaws, explaining that Qais's poetry immortalizes his sad love story, and includes poems distributed across various Arabic poetic meters.
