With this release, every Umayyad-era poem in Qafiyat Al-Arab comes with a full explanation: 7,827 poems by 214 poets, more than 60,000 verses, each verse explained and each poem introduced with its background and story.
That completes four full eras: pre-Islamic, Mukhadram, early Islamic, and Umayyad. All Arabic poetry from Imru' al-Qays to the fall of the Umayyad state is now explained in your hands.
Umayyad diwans completed in this release include:
• Umar ibn Abi Rabi'a (422 poems), Qays ibn al-Mulawwah "Majnun Layla" (313), and Dhu al-Rumma (173)

• Share just the verses you choose. When sharing a poem, pick exactly the lines you want, then send them as ready-to-paste text (with the poet's name and a link to the app) or as the elegant image card. Long-press any verse to share it on its own.
• More than 5,400 newly explained poems, line by line, bringing the total to over 13,300 explained poems and more than 1,060 poets whose complete works are now explained.

The entire pre-Islamic era, fully explained
For the first time, every Jahili poem in the app is explained: 3,327 poems by 640 poets, each with the story behind it and an explanation for every one of its 24,151 verses. From the Mu'allaqat to the outlaw and warrior poets, all of pre-Islamic poetry now comes with its stories and meanings.

Two new modes built on the explanations:
- Poem from Its Story: read the story behind a poem, then pick its opening verse from four poems.
- Match the Sharh: read a verse's explanation and pick the verse it explains.
Order the Qasida, reworked: each round is three consecutive verses from anywhere in any poem.
Share what you read: turn a poem into an elegant image, or long-press any verse to share it alone.
