Al-Farazdaq (c. 641 – c. 728 AD) was a classical Arab poet, renowned as one of the three great satirists of the Umayyad era, alongside Jarir and Al-Akhtal. His Diwan (collected works) is a foundational text of classical Arabic literature, encompassing his celebrated qasidas (odes), poignant elegies, and powerful satirical verses often engaged in poetic duels. This comprehensive collection offers invaluable insights into the social, political, and cultural landscape of the early Islamic period, showcasing Al-Farazdaq's masterful command of language, wit, and profound understanding of human nature. This meticulously edited edition by Karam Al-Bustani preserves these monumental poems, making them accessible to scholars and enthusiasts alike.
