A nūniyya (Arabic: نُونِيَّة, plural نونيات nūniyyāt) is an Arabic poetic form in which each line ends with an n sound, coming either from the letter ن (nun) or from nunation. This creates the consonant rhyme scheme of the poem.
Among the most famous nuniyyas are the Nuniyya of Ibn Zaydun,[1] the Nuniyya of Khidr Bey, the Nuniyya of Ibn Qayyim, the Nuniyya of Imam al-Qahtani al-Andalusi, the Nuniyya of Abu al-Fath al-Busti, and "Ritha' al-Andalus" by Abu al-Baqa ar-Rundi.
