In 1146, the influence of Persian poetry began to permeate Arabic literature, as poets and scholars in the Islamic world began to adopt Persian forms and themes. This cultural exchange was particularly evident in regions like Al-Andalus, where the blending of traditions enriched the literary landscape. The cross-pollination of ideas would lead to new poetic forms and styles.

The incorporation of Persian poetic forms into Arabic literature inspired poets such as Al-Ma'arri, who experimented with new styles and themes. This blending of traditions contributed to the richness of Arabic poetry, influencing later generations of poets and writers in both the Arabic and Persian literary traditions.
