Abstract

Time has a traced system in present and future , which does not change and does not stop, but the imaginations of the poet returns the recipient by time back, or proceeds it forward with the technique of anticipation, and perspective is doing action before the others do, and the difference of time is the separation between the former to the command and the after him, and came to highlight Temporal words in Qais's poetry, and has come in various forms and times, such as prayer, hope and wish, and distributed on the day, night, hour, death and insect to include all times proactive. With the love of Layla Faqis, Prospective time did not leave a major obstacle to Qais from reaching Layla, but he uses the temporal paradox of poverty above the barriers of time and reaching what he aspires to. It seems that the perspective time is harsh on Qais, because he hopes and anticipates and accelerates, but without result he does not reach Layla until late, so we see him and do not see it after death.
