He addressed all classes of people, breaking through the barriers of fear that had isolated people from poetry, and made poetry enter every Arab home.

Moreover, he created his very own poetic language that was akin to everyday-language. He helped make poetry accessible to all people of different backgrounds. In addition to the above, the Board sees that QabbaniвЂ™s unique poetic style has also made one of the most popular, widely known and influential Arab poets. However, the Poet did not forget the problems and concerns of his Arab Nation, especially after the 1967 defeat, on the contrary, he did his best to expose the flaws of Arab political life, as exemplified by his poem вЂHawamesh Ala Daftar Al NaksaвЂ™ (Margins on the Notebook of Defeat), which gives a self-critique of Arab shortcomings. In his early works, Qabbani mainly wrote Romantic poetry that departed in their depiction of love relationships from the traditional eloquence of Arabic discourse to the clarity of revelation and truth. Since then he has been a pioneer of innovation and has conquered new frontiers in the field of Arabic poetry. Since releasing his debut poetry collection, вЂQalat Liya Al SamraaвЂ™ (The Brunette Said to Me) in 1944, he has made radical changes to the form and content of Arabic poetry. He is a pioneer of innovation in contemporary Arabic poetry. The Board took its decision in appreciation of QabbaniвЂ™s pioneering role and his inspiring work over the span of 50 years.
