Diwan al-Nihar

The poetry collection "Al Niran" (The Fires) by the poet Zizi Al Shishtawy, nicknamed "The Sheikha of Poetry" and "The Fires of Poetry," is a poetic journey brimming with honesty, passion, and boldness. The poet crafts her verses in diverse Arabic dialects, both urban and Bedouin, making her poems a mirror to the hearts of lovers and a call to souls yearning for loyalty. In this collection, the intensity of emotions is revealed between loyalty and betrayal, closeness and distance, giving and betrayal. For her, true love is a fire that burns away pride and does not allow for absence or coldness. False love, on the other hand, is quickly exposed in the harshness of situations and broken hearts. Through her poems, the poet affirms that honest relationships are a blessing, and that God always grants us someone who is "number one" in our lives, even if the meeting is delayed. It is a collection brimming with emotional depth and authentic Bedouin warmth, combining eloquence of words with the warmth of feelings, granting the reader a sincere poetic experience that reflects the flames of hearts burning with love and loyalty.
