Bashshar ibn Burd
Abū Muʿādh Bashshār ibn Burd (; 714–783), nicknamed al-Muraʿʿath (, 'the wattled'), was a Persian poet of the late Umayyad and early Abbasid periods who wrote in Arabic. Bashshar was of Persian ethnicity; his grandfather was taken as a captive to Iraq, but his father was a freedman (''mawla'') of the Uqayl tribe. Some Arab scholars considered Bashshar the first "modern" poet, and one of the pioneers of badi' in Arabic literature. It is believed that the poet exerted a great influence on the subsequent generation of poets. Provided by Wikipedia
