So back to arabic, at the end of a long time, so this time its about Labid, another poem that was written in the pre-islamic times, this poem was written by Abu-’Ugayl as well as from the different kinds of poems I mentioned earlier, this poem is Fakhr which means boast, the story behind poetry is that Labid was known to be a lavish person, who lived his life luxuriously with with wine as well as women however, his father’s death altered his life, as well as he spent the rest of his life trying to take revenge, but was unsuccessful.
The first part of the poem describes how nature is playing its role as well as taking a lead over man kind as well as during the latter part of the poem describes a contrast as well as shows that mankind its playing its role. The poem goes on to describing various scene such as the battle scene as well as the poet also talks about his tribe.
