Abstract

When poetry is the language of dialogue and beauty, the human soul is moved to reveal its ambiguity and the hidden desires and needs. She highlights the beauty of her style and the eloquence of her speech, and in between all of that is mixed with sadness, enthusiasm, praise, and incitement with a tribal tendency in the colors of magic and statement, through poetic exposition in a poem whose phrases are woven in the colors of civilization and taking revenge for a poet who is struggling with two feelings, the first is anguish and pain over the loss of his brother in battle, and the second is his patriotic tendency and spirit. Arabic, with all its courage, determination, character, and nobility. The poet, Abu Uthaina, is one of the poets of one, and his poem, which we have under discussion, is considered a mine of incitement and revenge, interspersed with verses of pride, praise, and wisdom.It is an artistic painting vibrant with images, connotations, and revelations, full of wisdom, proverbs, and sermons that embody the poets desire and purpose.The poem was woven to the simple rhythm of the sea in order to distance itself from the poets pain and agony. The research aimed to study the poetic discourse characterized by rhetorical methods and critical visions, extracting the expressive connotations, according to an analytical study of the syntactic structures and linguistic contexts. The research tried hard to highlight the aesthetic values represented by wisdom and sermons that express the purpose of The poet and his goals in creating this poetic text.We found that the poem starts from an opposite nucleus in forming meanings and ideas. The poetic text achieved a balance between two minutes: the first: the pain and sadness that gripped the poets heart, and the second: fulfilling his demand for revenge. The poem attained a status of sublimity and exaltation in the history of Arabic literature. In addition to its splendor and the charm of its statement, it was able to change a historic decision of the king at that time. When he changed from pardon to punishment.
