Poetry: Those beautiful verses of poetry characterized by rhyme
Q2 Al-Zahawi's poetry is elegant and characterized by its similarity to prose
The sky contains stars with systems
And the suns are many, not to be limited
And every sun has a body attributed to it
The ether flows, from which it is ignited
And it is that which encompassed all bodies
A time upon which the days prevail
So people think that the sun is moving
Not as it is famous among people

⟦...⟧ And literature has realized that beautiful understanding is the subtle sculpting
that we see in beautiful speech to express what surges
within the soul from the stirrings of things in the beautiful, expressive, and truthful soul
Indeed, literature is what portrays for us, in delicate phrases for the soul,
strong sensations within it that possess emotion
And poetry is as if it were not poetry
unless it emerged from the heart of an eloquent poet
expressing what is in his soul with phrases
And this is true literature in its ultimate goal
And he had the reasons in his poetry
It is enough for us that we are in this era
in this era of ours in every place
