Field notes
The index pairs each poet with an opening couplet, meter, reported verse count, and a short thematic cue. Its account of the collection separates the seven widely known poems from three additions, citing al-Tibrizi’s commentary and noting a distinct textual basis for the Antarah poem. The page also flags that wording and verse counts vary between traditions, and says its section headings are editorial aids rather than lines of poetry.
