Few, on the other hand, really know who the man behind these beautiful poems was.

This was also the beginning of the birth of a modern Syrian state.

His father, Tawfiq Qabbani, was widely known as a respected man and he also financed the national movement, which he was also a member of.

So the house of Tawfiq Qabbani was used for secret meetings of resistance movements.

At the age of 10, Nizars father was arrested by French soldiers and taken away for a while.

The example of his father, who was willing to sacrifice himself for political and social freedom, laid also on the foundation of his work and up to a point, it influenced his poetry.

Wissal couldnt marry the man she loved, so she decided that life had no point for her.

He often thought about the last moments before she died and he thought it was really inspiring how big the power of love could be.

One year later, Nizar wrote his first poem and five years later, in 1944, he wrote his first collection of poems.

His poems handled sensitive themes, like the female beauty which he described in a very sexual way.

He also handled political themes.

His last post was in Beirut, where he stayed and started the publishing company Manshurat Nizar Qabbani.

He lost his 25-year-old son to a heart ailment and his second wife died in a bombing attack in 1981 during the Lebanese Civil War.

Instead of occupying themselves with those problems, they only seemed to be occupied with contesting against each other.

Although he said in this poem that he would never write again, the writer didnt keep his word.
