Arab people are famous all over the world because of their language skills. In ancient times, nobles, feudal lords, nawabs and even kings were kind to scholars in general and poets in particular. In the court where the great and famous poets used to gather, the same person prevailed over all of them, this is the reason why they were often rich in prizes and honors, but the level of appreciation had reached such a level that sometimes, aside from qasida a few poems were recited.
Ten ten twenty twenty thousand ashrafiyan reward They used to give, rather, sometimes they used to recite thousand of Ashrafis on each stanza. A miserly prince stopped rewarding poets against the constitution of his forefathers. Gold had given him such a quick memory that he would immediately remember the poem he heard once.
He had a slave who memorized the poem word by word after hearing them twice and a slave girl who memorized the poem after hearing them three times. When a poet used to recite a poem in his praise, the prince would say to him, If your poems are such that you will never hear them from anyone else. So we will give gold equal to the weight of the thing on which you will write a poem and present it.
The poet would happily accept this condition and start reciting the poem. When he finished the poem, the prince would say that I have heard these poems and he would recite them from beginning to end. Then he would say that these poems are not only remembered by me but also by this slave of mine. Since Ghulam had heard it twice, he remembered it. As soon as he got the hint, he would repeat all the poems, then call the maid and say that he remembered well, all these poem.
Our maids also remember this. Because she used to hear it three times and repeat it, she would immediately Listen to it. Seeing this, the poet used to take his mouth and go back empty handed. Gradually, this matter started to be discussed in the whole country. At that time, Asmai was a famous poet. He heard this interesting story and immediately realized the real truth and decided to make this prince enjoy his unreasonable behavior.
Tasting is a must. Thinking of this, he wrote a poem in which he filled in the difficult words, then also the Bedouins. S filled and covered the whole face with a cloth. Just keep your eyes open Wearing such a form, he went to the royal palace and took permission to enter. And as he left he greeted the prince asked the prince. Who are you? Where did you come here? Asmi's politely replied ; Hazor's Iqbal dune.
I am the famous poet of my nation. I have brought some poems in your praise. The prince said ; Have you heard my condition? The prince said ; If we prove that this The poems are your own work and no one else has heard them before, so I will give you as a reward equal to the weight of the thing on which you have written the poems. Well sir, why may I lie to you? I wholeheartedly accept your honor. The prince ordered; Recite good poems.
Asma'i started reciting the qasida and finished it from the beginning to the end. It contained all the difficult words of all. Prince Allam Fasil was not. Could not remember a signal poem and was speechless done At last, surprised, he pointed to the slave. What was there? A clear answer was received and the slave also remained silent. Finally he said to Asma'i ; O brother, Indeed , these poems are your own authorship. We have never heard of this before.
Tell me about what you have written this poems so that according to my condition, I will reward you by weighing Ashrafiyan equal to its weight. Asma'i replied ; Huzur, Order one of your servants to carry this thing. The prince asked; What is that thing? Did not you write on any paper? Great Jah. I did not write this poems on paper Wrote, when I composed this poem, I could not find any paper to write it on, my father had left a marble slab in his estate, which was in front of him at the time, and had been engraved on it.
And wrapped it in a cloth and loaded it on the back of a camel and kept it in the courtyard of the place at that time. please order the servant to go and fetch it, cannot fetch it alone. The prince was shocked to hear this, but what could he do now, after all, according to this condition, he had to pay ashrafiyan equal to the weight of this stone. This kale most all the treasure was empty, he repented from his bad habit in the future so that no other poet should burn like this, then he started giving rewards and honors to Sab poets as per the custom.
He was praised all over the country and finally he realized that what Asmai had said was only the result of his awakened mind.
