Shaer: Controlled Arabic Poetry Generation with Meter Subform and Semantic Conditioning

We present Shaer, a controllable Classical Arabic poetry generation framework jointly conditioned on natural-language descriptions, meter subforms, and target hemistich counts.

Key points

  • Classical Arabic poetry generation requires simultaneously satisfying semantic, linguistic, and fine-grained prosodic constraints.
  • Existing systems typically control broad poetic attributes but do not jointly model semantic intent, meter subform, and poem length.
  • To support this task, we construct an enriched corpus of 116,032 classical Arabic poems derived from Ashaar, containing normalized meter-subform labels and automatically generated, validated semantic descriptions.
  • We then adapt Yehia-7B using QLoRA-based supervised fine-tuning with a completion-only objective.
