With its long epic construction, the biography of the Banu Hilal tells of the violent beginnings of Najd, the Qaysi alliance, the great migrations of North Africa, and conflicts with the Arabs of the South. The Hilal dialect represents the repository of Arab speech.

Poetic alienation is characterized by the length of its verses - which exceed one million - from Arabic biographies such as King Saif bin Dhi Yazan, Antar bin Shaddad, Al-Zahir Baybars and Princess Dhul-Himma.
