The book includes a selection of El-Farran’s poems which were selected from his books or published in zajal journals and magazines after his death. He is considered as the pioneer amongst Lebanese who mastered the zajal and who migrated to the new world and published their zajal poems there. His topics are distinct and varied: some of them are against colonialism and colonialists, while others include wooing, correspondence, and nostalgic longing for the homeland and its loved ones.
