Ibn Baqi

Ibn Baqi (Arabic: إبن بقي‎) or Abu Bakr Yahya Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Rahman Ibn Baqi (Arabic: أبو بكر يحيى بن محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن بقي‎) (died 1145 or 1150) was an Arab poet from Córdoba or Toledo in al-Andalus. Baqi is one of the best-known strophic poets and songwriters of Al-Andalus. He moved between Morocco and Al-Andalus and wrote several poems honoring members of a Moroccan family, the Banu Asara, qadis of Salé.[1] He is especially famous for his muwashshahat.[2] In the anthology of Al-Maqqari we find a considerable number of his poems.
