وَإِذَا كَانَ لِلْمُبْدِعِ غَازِي الْقَصِيبِيِّ وُجُوهٌ مُتَعَدِّدَةٌ، فَإِنَّ الْوَجْهَ الْأَبْرَزَ مِنْ بَيْنِهَا هُوَ الْإِبْدَاعُ الشِّعْرِيُّ، وَهُوَ مَا جَعَلَ اسْمَهُ يُخْتَرْنُ فِي قُلُوبِ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ مُحِبِّي الشِّعْرِ عَلَى امْتِدَادِ الْوَطَنِ الْعَرَبِيِّ، وَقَدْ أَصْدَرَ الْقَصِيبِيُّ خِلَالَ مَسِيرَتِهِ الشِّعْرِيَّةِ الْعَدِيدَ مِنَ الدَّوَاوِينِ، مِنْهَا: أَشْعَارٌ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَقَطَرَاتٌ مِنْ ظَمَأٍ وَأَنْتِ الرِّيَاضُ.

While the creative Ghazi Al-Gosaibi had many facets, his poetic talent remains the most prominent. It is this talent that etched his name into the hearts of poetry lovers across the Arab world. Over the course of his career, Al-Gosaibi published numerous collections, including Poems from the Pearl Islands, Drops of Thirst, and You Are Riyadh.

وَإِذْ نُحْيِي الشَّاعِرَ الْكَبِيرَ الدُّكْتُورَ غَازِي الْقَصِيبِيَّ الَّذِي أَهْدَانَا مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ رُوحِهِ مَا أَغْنَى أَرْوَاحَنَا فَإِنَّهُ بِمُنْجَزِهِ الْإِبْدَاعِيِّ الرَّائِعِ يُبَرْهِنُ أَنَّ الْجَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ الَّتِي أَنْجَبَتْ فِي تَارِيخِهَا كِبَارَ الشُّعَرَاءِ مَا تَزَالُ أَرْضًا وَلُودًا تُنْجِبُ شُعَرَاءَ كِبَارًا، إِنَّهَا أَرْضُ الْفَنِّ وَالشِّعْرِ كَمَا هِيَ أَرْضُ الرِّسَالَاتِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ.

As we honor the great poet Dr. Ghazi Al-Gosaibi, who shared the depths of his soul to enrich our own, his remarkable body of work proves that the Arabian Peninsula—the historic birthplace of great poets—remains a fertile ground for new talent. It is a land of art and poetry, just as it is the land of divine revelation.
