Enjambment in Arabic Poetry

On The Ghazal Page, I've just posted an essay on enjambment in Arabic poetry by David Jalajel. This essay explains the ways in which Arabic poets have used enjambment between bayts (long lines) and at the caesura, the pause in the middle of the bayt. (The caesura is where there'd be a line-break if the bayt is presented as a couplet.

I hope you'll find this essay rewarding. I have.
