About the Poet: The Sage of Poets

Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma was one of the most prominent poets of the pre-Islamic era and one of the authors of the Seven Mu'allaqat. He was known for his wise and sober poetry, characterized by its richness and beauty of meaning. He was nicknamed the "Poet of the Annals" because he would revise and refine his poems for a full year before publishing them. Zuhair lived a long life, producing immortal poetry that reflects the depth of his experience and insight into life.

One of his most famous verses, which embodies his timeless wisdom, is:

"And whoever has a bitter, sick mouth
will find pure water bitter to him."

This verse describes how a sick or spiteful soul perceives beauty as ugliness and good as evil. The soul's flaws color its perception of the world.
