"Ghurar" is a digital anthology of classical Arabic poetry, encompassing four eras: pre-Islamic, Islamic, Abbasid, and the era of states and emirates. It features over 1600 poets and nearly a million verses, from Imru' al-Qais and al-Mutanabbi to Abu Tammam, Abu Nuwas, and thousands more, along with biographical information about the poets. Read the poetry on your phone just like you would a physical book: in an authentic font, with clear diacritics, on a clear page.
Browsing
Ghurar opens the anthology through four sections: era, meter, rhyme, and theme. You can move from one era to another, from one meter to another, or search for a specific verse and find it instantly.
Reading
The verses are presented in a beautiful font, with diacritics you can adjust, and a text size that is easy on your eyes. Nothing obstructs the text.
Memorizing
Memorize what resonates with you through spaced revision: Ghurar replays the verses for you at intervals until you have memorized them, verse by verse.
