Hafiz Ibrahim
Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAF : Hafiz Ibrahim
Hafiz Ibrahim (1872 - 1932) was an Egyptian poet, called Poet of the Nile. Hafiz was one of several poets that revived Arabic poetry during the latter half of the 19th Century. While still using the classical Arabic system of meter and rhyme, these poets wrote to express new ideas and feelings unknown to the classical poets. Hafiz is noted for writing poems on political and social commentary.
