حكايت سندباد به روايت ناي وباد

The Tale of Sinbad as Narrated in Nay va Bad

Nay va Bad is one of the most exquisite works of the Lebanese poet, Khalil Halvi. It embraces the most enchanting and profound rhymes of the tale of Sinbad. Halviʹs poetry is the outcry of a generation, and the symbolic illustration of the misery and agony of contemporary man, who is constantly suffering amidst the conflicts caused by the shackles of his self. Sinbad, who is his most significant legendary character, symbolizes the restlessness and turbulence of the poetʹs (or mankindʹs) soul and the endless quest in the unknown realm of existence. This marvelous symbolization is achieved superbly in Nay va Bad. Sinbad is the embodiment of the poet himself and the image of Arabs in a land where prominent characters rose.
