Still remember standing in the middle of the Blue Mosque basking in the grandeur of it all. Totally life-altering for me.

أنـا الـذي نـظـر الأعمى إلـى أدبـــي
و أسـمـعـت كـلـمــاتي مـن به صـمـمُ
الـخـيل والـلـيـل والـبـيداء تـعـرفـنـــي
و الـسـيــف والـرمـح والقـرطـاس والـقـلـمُ
“I, whose literature the blind perceived
And whose words those who are deaf heard.
The horse, the night and the desert know me
And the sword, the spear, the paper and the pen.”—Al-Mutanabbi
Abu at-Tayyib Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Mutanabbi is an Iraqi poet. Born in Kufah, Iraq in 915, he was educated in Damascus, Syria. His nickname Al-Mutanabbi means “the one who wants to become a Prophet” or the “would-be prophet”. The reason for this controversial nickname is not entirely known, some say that he claimed to be the predecessor of prophet Saleh (x). He was killed by a man named Dhaba al-Asadi for containing an insult towards him in one of his poems.
