Abstract
The Arabic language, during the pre-Islamic age, at the beginning of Islam and today with its valuable tradition, convention and practice, is a great language. Hamad ibn (son of) Khalifah Abu Shihab is one of the modernist poets linking the twentieth century with the twenty-first. He is one of the supporters of the classical Arabic language. The researcher, in this literary paper, takes on to illustrate the perceptiveness of a famous poem by Hamad ibn Khalifah as a case of the magnitude and worth of the Arabic language, its influence and being influencing. The poem of Hamad ibn Khalifah has never been studied or analyzed; for this motive, the poem deserves to be given enough consideration because it deals directly with a central theme which is classical Arabic language. It can be estimated as a legacy of the graceful Arabic tongues. The study uses the analytical and descriptive method which starts, in its first section, with a succinct introductory sketch on the Arabic language and its importance. After that, the core point of the study to be followed is a descriptive, analytical and critical dealing with the poem, its wisdom and everlasting concepts. In this section, the researcher endeavors to ascertain the reputation of the Arabic language and to demonstrate the capacities of Hamad ibn Khalifah Abu Shihab as a modern Arabic poet through his poem. A brief discussion is followed. The paper ends with a short-lived conclusion summarizing the full investigation and stating the results if there is any.

Summary
The Arabic language is adored as the primary language of millions worldwide, considered one of the most important languages in the whole world. The Arabic language is the honest and right-hand vehicle of information, and it is the resource of such life with its straightforwardness, simplicity and directness It is a constant origin between the prose writers and versifiers who presented a challenging productive tongue “by selecting clear vocabulary and smooth compositions, in which the historians of ancient literature indicate: carnivals, literary and commercial activities and religious celebrations used to be conducted where poets and orators are met presenting their literary products” (Dahami, 2018). The literary centenaries and carnivals were conducted in numerous cities, communities, and villages of the Arabia, notably Makkah (Mecca), Taif, the Arabia Felix and other places that had an inevitable impact and influence in amalgamating the Arabic language and circulating the model classical tongue, making Arabic the one of prevalence among the writings of other states. To the degree, as we can speak, "Mecca made a nearer approach to the contemporary standard of civilized life than any other settlement in peninsular Arabia" (Hogarth, 1922, p. 17)
