Poem by al-Khabbaz
translation and reading by Ahmad Almallah
Abū al-Walīd Yūnis al-Khabbāz
Al-Khabbāz is described in Jaysh al-Tawshshīḥ, one of the most authoritative anthologies of the muwashshaḥ form, as a poet of “pure composition.” The selection from his poetry chosen by composer Kinan Abou-afash is a testimony to that.
