Al-Hosni said: The poet Mirza, in his works of literature, poetry and prose, belongs to poets who contributed to the beginning of a turning point in the poetic scene, from the first half to the second half of the last century, and the His contribution puts him at the forefront of poets at this turn.
Al-Hosni says that Mirza had many places in which he lived, and that he lived in them in his poetry, including: an attractive elegance of wording and expression, especially in his ghazal, to were you really sure that ghazal, ghazal, and ghazal are from the same linguistic root. Zuhair Mirza spun and wove, and the meanings represented the taste, included in the structures of letters and words and their continuity, before they understood in their reception. He concludes with a reference to the influence he encountered in his poetic works, especially the influence of the poet’s contemporaries, such as Bechara Al-Khoury, Elias Abu Shabaka, and Abdel Basset Al-Sufi.
