Amrul-Kais, Or Amrnlcais, an Arabian poet, author of one of the seven Moallacahs, poems, of the pagan pre-Mohammedan era, which were suspended to the Caaba, whence then-name (pl. Moallacat, suspended). He was an opponent of Mohammed, and wrote satirical verses against him. Lette published the Moal-lacah at Levden in Arabic, and Sir Wil-liam Jones the English translation (London, 1782). The poem is purely imaginative. It was republished, together with other productions of the poet, by Baron MacGuckin Slane (Paris, 1857), and also by Arnold, in the Sep-tem Moallacat (Leipsic, 1850).
