ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿa
ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿa ( Arabic عمر بن أبي ربيعة, DMG ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿa * 643 in Mecca ; † 711 ibid) was an Arab poet from the Arabian Peninsula , who was best known for his love poetry. Like the Prophet Mohammed , he belonged to the Quraish tribe , but in contrast to this he was a member of the Machzūm clan.
ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿa is considered to be one of the founders of the lyrical poem form of the Ghazel , which was later (especially in the 19th century) also taken up by German poets. His life was dedicated to Ṯuraya, a young woman from the Aristocracy of the Hejaz . He was considered "passionate about everything beautiful that he saw in the streets or during the pilgrimage".
