The measuring procedure of a poem is very rigorous. The measuring unit of seas is known as " taf‘īlah," and every sea contains a certain number of taf'ilas which the poet has to observe in every verse ( bayt) of the poem. The meters of the rhythmical poetry are known in Arabic as "seas" ( buḥūr). Al-Akhfash, a student of al-Farahidi, later added one more meter to make them sixteen.
The rhymed poetry falls within fifteen different meters collected and explained by al-Farahidi in The Science of ‘ Arud. Present knowledge of poetry in Arabic dates from the 6th century, but oral poetry is believed to predate that.Īrabic poetry is categorized into two main types, rhymed or measured, and prose, with the former greatly preceding the latter. Arabic poetry ( Arabic: الشعر العربي ash-shi‘ru al-‘Arabīyyu) is the earliest form of Arabic literature.
