أَنا الَّذي نَظَرَ الأَعمى إِلى أَدَبي
وَأَسمَعَت كَلِماتي مَن بِهِ صَمَمُ
"I am he whose words the blind man reads with wonder,
and whose verses reach the ears of those who cannot hear."
— Al-Mutanabbi, 10th century
Six ways Noor Al Hikmah brings classical verse to life.
Swipe through handpicked classical poems. New poets, eras, and themes tailored to your tastes — one verse at a time.
Ask Nadim about any verse — its meaning, historical context, vocabulary — and get a scholar-quality reply grounded in classical sources.
Hear Arabic poetry as it was meant to be heard — rich, melodic recitations that honour every metrical beat and rhyme.
A verse unfolds line by line, timed to your breathing. Use 2–3 minutes to reset between meetings or settle in before sleep.
Original Arabic alongside English, French, and Urdu translations — bridging cultures, one line of verse at a time.
Build a daily poetry habit. Track your streak, earn milestones, and watch your relationship with classical verse deepen over time.
Wherever you are on your journey with Arabic poetry.
Build vocabulary and intuition through verse — the way classical scholars learned the language.
Discover centuries of verse — from pre-Islamic Jahiliyya odes to the mystical poetry of Andalusia.
Find stillness in the wisdom of Sufi masters — Ibn Arabi, Rumi, and poets who wrote toward the divine.
Poetry is the heart of Arab civilization. Let it be your door into 1,400 years of language and thought.
أَدِينُ بِدِينِ الحُبِّ أَنَّى تَوَجَّهَتْ
رَكَائِبُهُ، فَالحُبُّ دِينِي وَإِيمَانِي
"I follow the religion of Love, wherever its caravans turn —
Love is my religion and my faith."
— Ibn Arabi, Tarjuman Al-Ashwaq, 12th–13th century
