Zuhayr bin Abi Sulma
Zuhayr bin Abī Sulmā (Arabic: زهير بن أبي سلمى; c. 520 – c. 609), also romanized as Zuhair or Zoheir, was a pre-Islamic Arabian poet who lived in the 6th & 7th centuries AD. He is considered one of the greatest writers of Arabic poetry in pre-Islamic times. Zuhayr belonged to the Banu Muzaina.
