Hassan Al-Marwani (Arabic: حسن المرواني) is an Iraqi poet, best known for his poem Ana wa Layla (أنا و ليلى, “Me and Layla”). He was born in Baghdad, Iraq, but his family was originally from Maysan. He was possibly born in the early 50s.
Biography
Little publicly verifiable biographical information is available about Al-Marwani: his birth date, places of education or major life events are not documented in widely accessible sources. According to some web sources, he wrote the poem Ana wa Layla while a young student in the 1970s.[1]
Work and themes
Al-Marwani is credited with the poem Ana wa Layla, which expresses themes of one-sided love, social inequality (poverty vs. wealth), and emotional suffering. An academic article describes the poem as a “poetic model that reflects the experience of impossible love and class conflict.”[2]
The poem gained broader recognition when parts of it were reportedly used as lyrics for the song of the same name by Kazem Al‑Saher.[3]
The poem has also been included in cultural events, such as the Festival of Singing in Classical Arabic, where it was listed among modern poems recited or sung.[4]
Legacy
While Al-Marwani’s wider body of work is not well documented in publicly accessible sources, his poem Ana wa Layla appears to have had a notable cultural impact in Arabic-language literary and music circles, contributing to the cross-over between modern Arabic poetry and popular music.
