“Zauq then wrote his own prothalamion in which the last verse (in the same vein as Ghalib's) challenged the ability of those who made a claim to be poets to equal his writing of a sehra. Zauq's prothalamion was given very wide publicity by the professional singers in the palace, and the next day it was published in the local newspaper.”
