Diwan Al-Khansa

Published by Dar Sader, "The Diwan of Al-Khansa" collects the tragic and timeless elegies of Tumadir bint 'Amr, known as Al-Khansa. Recognized as one of the greatest Arab poets in history, her work is primarily dedicated to mourning the loss of her beloved brothers, Sakhr and Mu'awiyah. Her verses are characterized by intense emotional resonance, mastery of classical Arabic rhythm, and vivid metaphors of grief and remembrance. Beyond her tragic elegies, the collection highlights her transition into early Islamic history, making this volume an indispensable classic of Arabic literature and women's poetic heritage.

It is the gold standard of Arabic elegiac poetry (Ritha'), offering incomparable emotional power, mastery of language, and profound historical resonance.

Scholars and students of classical Arabic literature, poets, historians, and anyone interested in women's historical writing and tragic poetry.
