THE ARABIC QASIDA An Anthology Translations & Introduction Paul Smith The qasida is a form of praise poetry that dates from preIslamic Arabia and was still composed by Sufi and other poets in Arabic up to today. Here is the largest anthology of this epic form of poetry in the Arabic language spanning 13 centuries. It sometimes runs to 50 couplets and one by Ibn alFarid to more than 700. It was later inherited by the Persians, Turks, Afghans and Urdu Poets where it was developed by Sufi, court and tribal poets. The qasida resembles a ghazal in many ways except that it is longer. In the first couplet, both the lines rhyme, and the same rhyme runs through the whole poem, the rhymeword being at the end of the second line of each couplet (after the first couplet). Included with each selection of a particular poet is a brief biography plus a list of further reading. The correct rhymestructure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these epic poems.
