Nasser bin Mohammed bin Fares Al-Far’aanah Al-Subaie (born 1976) is a Saudi poet.

Million’s Poet

[edit]
Nasser Al-Far’aanah participated in the second season of the “Million’s Poet” competition, quickly making a name for himself as one of the strongest contestants. He advanced to the final stages and was widely seen as a top contender for the title. However, in an unexpected turn of events, he finished in fifth place, leaving many viewers stunned. Although the judging panel had ranked Nasser first based on their evaluations, the final result was ultimately determined by public voting, which shifted the outcome. In response, Nasser chose not to attend the ceremony honoring the top 48 poets as a protest against the result. [1]

Later poems

[edit]
Following his appearance on Million’s Poet, many of Nasser Al-Far’aanah’s poems gained widespread popularity. His most iconic work, “Naqati Ya Naqati” (“My Camel, Oh My Camel”), became a cultural phenomenon, shared by people of all ages. The video of the poem on YouTube amassed nearly ten million views. Its impact even extended internationally, with an American folk music band performing a version inspired by it.[2]
