ZUHAIR
Zuhair is one of the most famous poets of the pre-Islamic period:
Zuhair in his verses was less satiric than most of his brother poets.
He strove to express deep thoughts in simple words, to be clear and
by his clear phrases to teach his people high and noble ideas. He was
a man of rank and wealth, the foremost of a family noted for their poetic
skill and religious earnestness. In brief, Zuhair is the gentleman philosopher
among Arab poets.
Some of his work is included in the The Hanged Poems
