dokhna
Dokhna is a traditional form of poetry from the Arabian Peninsula, particularly popular in Bahrain. It consists of two stanzas, each containing four lines, and follows a specific rhyme scheme. The themes often revolve around love, nature, and social issues, reflecting the cultural heritage of the region.
The performance of dokhna is usually accompanied by music and dance, making it a vibrant part of local celebrations and gatherings. This art form is not only a means of artistic expression but also serves to preserve the history and traditions of the Bahraini people.
