Abstract

In spite of their separate homelands and distances, the two poets Muhammad Iqbal and Ahmad Shawqi belong to the same generation. They were born in the last quarter of the 19th century and their poetic production continued beyond the first third of the 20th century. They were educated in the West; Iqbal studied in London, Shawqi in France. Both of them occupy a prominent place in their homelands; Iqbal is undisputedly the poet of the Orient while Shawqi is unanimously the prince (Emir) of the Arab poets. Iqbal calls for a different poetic horizon, mixing spectra of the elements of nature and its beautiful scenery, between the beauty of language and delicacy of vocabulary, as well as the accurate expressions in a colorful form of the subcontinental environment. Iqbal’s songs teeming with warm sincerity will remain immortal, and so will his hymns, venerating nature, purity and beauty. Shawqi, on his part, reacted in many of his poems to the elements of nature, his poems are the fruit of hot temper and explosive mood where reason does not interfere to spoil the poetic image. This is why his poems do not lose the childhood spirit we feel in his humility before images of nature and its charm; like the Nile that embraced the ancient Egyptian civilization, nocturnal life, the crescent and vernal flowers.
