Khadim and Poetry:
Khadim was a skilled classical poet. He was influenced by the poetry of Nali, Salim, Mahwi, and Haji Qadir Koyi.
But in the end, he becomes a poet in his own way and composes high-quality poems.
Khadim's poetry is gradually becoming stronger and he presents us with more delicate and powerful poems.
When we look closely at the structure of the lines of his poetry, we see that they are very expensive and valuable according to the scales of classical Kurdish poetry and they are from the deep emotions and sensuality of a high poet.
He followed this poem with a more successful poem, using more words and using the art of rhetoric successfully, as in his two-verse poems.
We feel that Khadim has become a powerful poet who has mastered the art of poetry and has brought himself among the great Kurdish poets and has presented a valuable work in the field of classical Kurdish poetry to poets and critics of Kurdish literature.
Khadim was one of the greatest Kurdish poets. After his death, he left behind two volumes of his poems, which were published by the Kurdish Cultural and Publishing Agency in 1980 and 1982.[1]
