Umru' al-Qays (English spelling)

...From about the 8th century, the ancient poetry of this period was recognized as the oldest and purest source of the Arabic language, the source of terminology for understanding the Quran, and indispensable for understanding the history and life of ancient Arabia, and a series of poetry anthologies called Mu'allaqat, Mufaḍḍalīyāt, al-Ḥamāsa, al-Aghānī, etc. were compiled one after another, transmitting the ancient poetry of Jāhiliyya to the present day. Among them, Mu'allaqat is a collection of seven qaṣida (long poems) by seven poets representing this period, and is a model for the long Arabic verse that is still followed to this day, with Umru' al-Qays (500-540) at the pinnacle of this collection. Most completed qasidas contain between 60 and 100 lines, with each half-phrase consisting of one line.
