Scholars who study the lives of Arab poets have noticed several points of convergence between Abu al-Tayyib al-Mutanabi and Muhammad Mahdi al-Jawahiri, two giants of Arabic poetry. They were born in two towns, Kufa and Najaf, respectively, with almost identical atmospheres regarding the abundance of eloquent people, rhetoricians, and senior linguists. Additionally, the conditions of the two eras they lived in were similar regarding revolutions and political fluctuations. Unfortunately, time did not do justice to these two poets as they were exposed to several unfair dealings with life, kings, and ruling authorities, causing them to live in alienation. This prompted them to revolt against the events of their times, and they wrote many satirical poems in which they mocked the senior ruling class and the audience of ordinary people. However, the meaning behind these satirical poems was not to make people laugh but to explain people's suffering and pain and to raise awareness of the oppression and tyranny in their country. It was an attempt to reveal the reality and deal with it. This study aims to refer to most of the poets' poems in this field and define the dimensions of their purpose through a descriptive and analytical-critical approach to obtain the best results. The research consists of an introduction to the concept of irony and two chapters: the first chapter deals with irony from the view of Abu al-Tayyib al-Mutanabbi, and the second chapter focuses on sarcasm at Al-Jawahiri. The conclusion includes the most important results of the research.
