قل لشكري فقد غلا وتمادى

السياق · The story

Taha Hussein composed this poem in response to an article by the poet Abd al-Rahman Shukri, who had criticized Taha Hussein's views on the corruption of poetic intuition and style, while insinuating that Hussein was obscure and did not practice poetry. Angered by these remarks, Taha Hussein replied with a satirical poem, asserting his own superiority in verse.
