In a striking new cultural moment, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has published and recited an original poem honouring the leadership of UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, underlining unity, steadfast governance and national pride at a time of regional and global uncertainty amid US-Israel's war on Iran. The poem, shared publicly by Sheikh Mohammed recently, has quickly become a trending topic across social and traditional media in the UAE and the broader Gulf.
The verses attribute strength, wisdom and unwavering commitment to President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed’s leadership, presenting him as a “pillar of strength” whose word is steadfast and whose resolve guides the nation forward. Much of the poem ties these contemporary qualities to the legacy of the UAE’s founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, portraying his enduring influence on the country’s development and values.
