from the method of Pre-Islamic poetry by presenting romantic from or love lyrics (gazal) as the prelude (al-istihla) to get readers attention this is followed by an account of his poet's journing with description horse or camels and of desert scenesmand events. The main theme then followed at the end, the tribute to the poet's patron of his tribe, or even himself eventually appear.
In approach to this kind of style on a table of criticism, Al-Sahili shows skill of literacy prowess and adherence to Islamic etiquettes on how best presentation can be made thus: Allah says: and not equal are the good deeds and the bad-repel (evil) by that (deed) which is better and there upon, the one whom between you and him is enemity (will become) as though he was a devoted friend" (q41v34)* ⁴⁰ the prophet said:
اتق الله حيثما كنت وأتبع السيّئة الحسنة تمحها وخالق الناس بخلق⁴¹

Meaning
Fear Allah wherever you are, and follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will wipe it out and behave toward the people with good behaviors" tirmidh related it (Hadith 18 of el- nawawih)⁴¹

Choice of themes and contents:
it has been observed that the poet does not name the work. people titled it manzumah al-ilbri (composition of al-ilbri) after him. While the contents of the poem were divided by writer of this paper into eight stanzas.
