Taghrooda y Nabati Poems

Al-Taghrooda's poetry is simple and does not use complex metaphors. It is an improvised form of poetry — the goal is to create short poems of seven or fewer lines that are then repeated by 2 groups of horse riders.


Nabati poetry is a vital component of the literary heritage of the Emirates. It consists of familiar language and direct style; it is simple, clear and direct.
