Nabati Poetry Nabati poetry has been a feature of life in the Arabian Peninsula since the 16th century. In certain eras, this poetry was the only record of historical events. Historians only know of these events because the Nabati poems have been passed down through generations. Nabati poetry is a strong dialect, slightly removed from classical Arabic. Nabati poetry is also known as "the people's poetry" and "Bedouin poetry". It is considered the richest form of popular literature, and seen to reflect the reality of everyday life. Nabati poetry is a great literary treasure, and a phenomenon unique to the Arabian Peninsula. Its form and content, literary significance, social function and historical value also make it a unique style of poetry. It is the document on which one can catch a glimpse of the past, or even get a more precise idea of historical customs. It depicts the situations faced by the countries of the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula before their modern-day renaissance. Source: http://www.sheikhmohammed.co.ae
