I have bought this book by Robert Irwin called Night & Horses & the Desert: An Anthology of Classical Arabic Literature and found that it is just the book for me (someone who likes to compile list of canonical texts!). I am just on the first few pages, but am already quite pleasant in finding the inclusion of the ode (one of the seven in Muallaquat) by Imrul al-Qays as the first work included in the Anthology.
