Abstract

A poem from the eyes of our poetic heritage. The ancients sensed its splendor, originality, and uniqueness, so they called it the orphan, meaning the one with no equal or equal. A poem that tells a wondrous love story between a princess and a poet that was passed down through the generations in a context of mystery. It is a wonder that the most famous poems among writers and poets have no author, especially given the accuracy and accuracy of the chain of transmission that is known about our narrators. Our astonishment reaches its peak when we know that a long chain of lineage and curses exists for this poem, but it stops with the narrators and does not go beyond them to the name. This mighty poet who formulated his love into a poem written by his creative fingers. It is the poem known as Al-Yatimah or the poem Al-Da`diyah, which is attributed to more than one poet, most of them among the most distinguished poets, such as Dhul-Rumah, Abu Al-Shays, Ali bin Jabla, known as Al-Akuk, and others. Even when we almost reach the name of its creator, we find that he is a nobody among the poets, and we see an aura of mystery surrounding him. He is Dawqalah. Al-Manbiji, as some sources confirm.We do not know for certain who the poet is? Is he Tihami, Iraqi, or Najdi? Did forty poets really claim it? What is the time of the poem? Is it pre-Islamic, Umayyad, or Abbasid? How many verses does it contain exactly?Therefore, we chose to work on this topic, which we called The Daadi Poem between Historical Contexts and Textual Formation. This study was divided into the following topics:(1- Conceptual introduction, 2- Historical context of the poem, 3- Text formulation, 4- Paraphrasing the text, 5- Conclusion)Keywords: Adiya/contexts/historical/interaction/text
