Wrote poems about the glories of the past Arab civilization of Spain and his nostalgia for Egypt Returned to Egypt after the war to devote his time to literary activities. Identified with the cause of the Egyptian people, nationalistic feelings and aspirations becoming more active, violent (1919). During this time he wrote his poetic dramas.

Collected works published in four volumes: 1 and 2 in 1926 and 1930, 3 in 1936 and 4 in 1943 (both posthumously) First volume contains poems on historical, political, social themes Second volume contained descriptive, amatory, miscellaneous poems Third volume was devoted to elegies Fourth volume was a mixed collection including poems from the three previous categories as well as juvenilia, fables, poems for children and some humorous verse

Example: Adhra al Hind (The Maid of India, 1897), Ladiyas, 1899 and others. Translated Lamartine's Le Lac into Arabic verse (translation lost) While in France became interested in theater and wrote the first serious modern Arabic poetic drama Remained a neoclassicist although he borrowed the external form of Western literature Wrote a variation on Avicenna's Ode on the Soul setting an example to be followed by other succeeding poets Accomplishment: made the traditional Abbasid idiom so relevant to the problems of modern life that poetry became a force to be reckoned with in the political life of modern Egypt.
