This Lebanese Creator Is Reciting Arabic Poetry, And We’re In Love

Yes, flowers are a beautiful gift. A box of chocolates is always good choice. Maybe even a new scent is a safe way to show affection. But this Lebanese creator takes the cake because we just realized we have a thing for Arabic poetry.

Noah Mukadem has amassed over 2 million views in 24 hours on his most recent TikTok video reciting Nizar Qabbani’s beloved “Wa Ma Bayna Hob w Hob”. The talented creator stole our hearts with a heartfelt and powerful recitation—just see for yourself:

Sure, the romantic music in the background was a clever touch, but his goosebump-inducing delivery had us locked in. The rest of his videos enjoy a similar style in which he recites some of the most beautiful verses by treasured Arab poets.

Another one of our favorites is his recitation of one of Gibran Khalil Gibran’s letters to May Ziade:
