(Redirected from Abd Al-Rahman Shokry)

Abdel Rahman Shokry (Arabic: عبد الرحمن شكري; 12 October 1886 – 16 December 1958) was an Egyptian poet from the Diwan school of poets.

Early life

[edit]

He was born in Port Said and he travelled to England where he got his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Sheffield.

Career

[edit]

He believed that poetry must be renewed and freed from the one-rhyme system in Arabic poetry. There were seven poetry books for him, including "Light of The Dawn" in 1909 and "Flower of The Spring" in 1916.

He abandoned poetry after a dispute with his two colleagues in this school, Ibrahim Al-Mazini and Abbas el-Akkad, until his death.
