'The Book of Songs'), is an encyclopedic collection of poems and songs that runs to over 20 volumes in modern editions, attributed to the 10th-century Arabic writer Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani (also known as al-Isbahani).[1][2] Abu al-Faraj claimed to have taken 50 years in writing the work, which ran to over 10 000 pages and contains more than 16,000 verses of Arabic poetry. It can be seen as having three distinct sections: the first dealing with the '100 Best Songs' chosen for the caliph Harun al-Rashid, the second with royal composers and the third with songs chosen by the author himself.[3] It spans the period from pre-Islamic times to the end of the 9th century CE.

Footnotes: Maqbool Fida Husain, an illustrious figure in Indian art, was born in 1915 in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, leaving an indelible mark on the country's cultural landscape. A luminary and co-founder of the Progressive Artists Group in 1947, Husain played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of modern art in India. His canvases, pulsating with life, were a dynamic convergence of traditional Indian motifs, mythological themes, and contemporary societal reflections.Husain's oeuvre, marked by vivid hues and bold strokes, achieved global recognition for its compelling fusion of traditional aesthetics with modern sensibilities. However, his later years were overshadowed by controversy and political censure, leading to a self-imposed exile from his homeland. Despite the challenges, his artistic legacy endures, sparking conversations on the intricate interplay between art, culture, and societal norms in India.His paintings, resonant with symbolism and cultural narratives, continue to captivate audiences worldwide. M.F. Husain's artistic journey, from the founding of the Progressive Artists Group to the complexities of his later life, remains an integral part of Indian artistic narrative. His demise in 2011 marked the end of a chapter in Indian art, leaving behind a legacy that transcends boundaries and continues to provoke thought and dialogue in the global artistic community.
