Summary/Abstract: One of the regions where Arabic is used as a language of science, poetry and communication is North Azerbaijan. Although the scholars and poets who lived in the region for more than a thousand years wrote their works in this language, most of these studies have remained as manuscripts and have not been the subject of any study. Although Arabic is not a Caucasian language, it has been used for a long time by a minority group in Azerbaijan. Although Arabic Language and Literature is one of the most studied fields among Islamic sciences, the works of Northern Azerbaijani authors in this field have been forgotten for different reasons. In the manuscript libraries, there are many works such as dictionaries, balagat (rhetoric), nahw (Arabic grammar) and poetry journals belonging to the scholars of the region related to Arabic. However, apart from a few famous scholars, other authors and their works have not been the subject of research. In the introduction part of the study, some works written in the field of Arabic language belonging to the North Azerbaijani authors are mentioned, then the main subject of Arabic poetry writing is discussed. In this context, samples of twelve poets and their works are given. In the last part of the study, the literary relations between North Azerbaijan and Dagestan are mentioned and the texts of four qasidah belonging to three poets are included.
