Arabic Poetry Dataset (6th - 21st century)

### Context

[Arabic poetry][1] is the oldest and the most prominent form of Arabic literature today. Ancient Arabic poetry is probably the primary source for describing the social, political and intellectual life in the Arab world. Modern poetry has gone through major changes and shifts both in the form and in the topics.

### Content
