Buhturi

Buhturi, also known as al-Walīd ibn ʿUbayd Allāh al-Buḥturī, was a leading Arabic poet of the early Abbasid era. Born in Manbij, he became associated with the poet Abū Tammām and later wrote celebrated panegyrics for Abbasid rulers and courtiers. His surviving literary legacy includes a major dīwān and the anthology known as the Ḥamāsa, while his verse is especially noted for its lyrical and emotional character.
