Poetic evening in Sharjah brings together Arab poets

The evening was presented by poet Aya Wahbi, who said in her introduction:

“Gratitude and appreciation to His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, for his support, kindness and care.”

Poems drawing on history and national pride

He was followed by poet Talal Al Junaibi, who began his participation with a patriotic poem titled Fragrance of the Union, expressing his pride in the UAE, its achievements and resilience.

The readings concluded with poet Turki Al Muaini, whose style stood out for its linguistic strength, evoking a number of human and Islamic symbols and weaving them into a beautiful poetic form. He recited from a poem titled A Crime Against Spring.
