Al-Sayyab, the most famous poet of the 20th century in the Arab world, has written more than forty poems in various genres and styles. Among his most well-known poems, we find the diwan "The Rain's Song", which is considered one of the best poems in the Arabic language.

In this poem, he describes the beauty of the rain, the pleasure it gives to the soul, and the way it makes people happy and cheerful. He also alludes to the many other benefits of the rain, such as the way it cleans the earth and makes it fertile, and also the way it brings many good things to life.

Al-Sayyab alludes to other symbols that are still present in the consciousness of modern poets, such as the image of Christ in the poem "Christ after the crucifixion." Thus, he continued to use the symbols that were still active in the consciousness of Arab poets, even after the adoption of more cosmopolitan poetry styles.

Al-Sayyab's poetry has been the foundation of many other poems, and his personality became identified with July and rain, as the image of Iraq became similar to Ishtar and the city and became keys to understanding his poetic world.
