Abstract

Emerging in late antiquity in Arabic, qasida poetry became a token of cultural and political prestige in societies across West, South, and Central Asia, North, West, and East Africa, and southern Europe. The form was adapted from Arabic into every language of the Islamicate world, including Persian, Ottoman Turkish, Chagatai, Hebrew, Urdu, Kurdish, Malay, Swahili, Hausa, and many more.
