This is what influenced nizar qabbani;
........."When Qabbani was 15, his sister, who was 25 at the time, committed suicide because she refused to marry a man she did not love.During her funeral he decided to fight the social conditions he saw as causing her death. When asked whether he was a revolutionary, the poet answered: “Love in the Arab world is like a prisoner, and I want to set (it) free. I want to free the Arab soul, sense and body with my poetry. The relationships between men and women in our society are not healthy.” He is known as one of the most feminist and progressive intellectuals of his time."
