One such poet is Omar Khayyam, whose Persian quatrains called the Rubáiyát have been long adored by Europe’s orientalists. So why aren’t Abu Nuwas’ poems viewed in the same vein; as metaphors for a pious, spiritual path rather than godless glorifications of alcohol?Wild, Stefan (2015). Maurice A. Pomerantz and Aram A.

When literary figures sensed the decline of Andalusi poetry, they began to gather and anthologize: Ibn Bassam wrote Dhakhīra fī mahāsin ahl al-Jazīra [ ar], al-Fath ibn Khaqan wrote " Qalā'id al-'Iqyān" ( قلائد العقيان), Ibn Sa'id al-Maghribi wrote Al-Mughrib fī ḥulā l-Maghrib and Rayat al-mubarrizin wa-ghayat al-mumayyazin. [4] Up until the departure of the Muslims from al-Andalus, there were those who carried the standard of the muwashshah, such as al-Tutili (1126) and Ibn Baqi (1145), as well as those such as Ibn Quzman (1159) who elevated zajal to the highest of artistic heights. [4] The zajal form experienced a rebirth thanks to Ibn Quzman. [4] Guide for the Perplexed, Translator's Introductions, Introduction of M Friedlander 189". www.sefaria.org . Retrieved 2020-11-28.
