AkhavanSaleth started his work by composing poems in Khorasani's style at the beginning of modernism; however, soon he got acquainted with Nima's style and remained one of his faithful friends ever. AmalDonqol, a nationalist Egyptian poet, was born in 1940 in Qena; he was living at the time when Arabdogmatism was prevalent in Egypt and he is therefore known as the 'poet of protest'. Akhavan is so attached to the heritage of his ancestors that in his poems, in both form and content, this ancient heritage is observable. Donqol, too, has strong attachment to the heritage of his ancestors and has referred to it frequently in order to provoke the nationalist sentiments of his audience. He draws on history and mythsalong with their events and characters to return to the Arabs their lost pride.
