Who are the most famous Arabic poets?

In my exploration of Arabic poetry, I've come across some truly remarkable poets who have shaped the literary world. Al-Mutanabbi, renowned for his intelligence and wit, is often considered one of the greatest Arabic poets. Then there's Abu Nuwas, known for his controversial yet influential works. Mahmoud Darwish, a more contemporary figure, used poetry to voice the struggles of the Palestinian people. Lastly, there's Nizar Qabbani, whose romantic and feminist literature continues to resonate with readers worldwide.
