He believed that poetry must be renewed and freed from the one-rhyme system in Arabic poetry. There were seven poetry books for him, including "Light of The Dawn" in 1909 and "Flower of The Spring" in 1916. He abandoned poetry after a dispute with his two colleagues in this school, Ibrahim Al-Mazini and Abbas el-Akkad, until his death.
