With the science of poetry, researchers can determine the final letters in the two fashilah and select the kind of poems. The method used by the researcher in this study is a qualitative method with a literature study approach, namely by describing the data by finding the final letters contained in two or more fashilah to determine what types of poetry are included in the Alala book. The results of this study conclude that poetry is divided into three styles, including mutharraf, murashsha' and mutawazi poetry. The number of poems in this book is 17 poems consisting of seven mutharraf poems, one murashsha verse, and nine mutawazi poems.
