Part 2 Question 3

Write briefly on the biography of ‘Adiyy bn. Zayd and give two lines from his poem.

 

Observation

Candidates who attempted this question painted the biography of the poet by mentioning his parentage, tutelage and education. They also made mention of his position among the poets of his time. As it were, most of these candidates could not bring two lines from his poem. As such, their performance was on the average.
