Abstract

This research tries to present an analytical study on a laamiya poem that might be considered a masterpiece which depicted the reality experienced by the poet Abi Firas AlHamdani. The poem has shown a grieving tone for it is attached directly to the real incident of captivity which the poet lived physically and spiritually. The poem which mainly focused on the freedom issue presented an inner life scene for the poet. It depicted a painful reality and bitterness in captivity. So, the true artful expressions formed the basis for the expressive wording of poem that visualized the reality of the poet and realized an impact in form and content with its human and aesthetic implications.Presence and absence awareness of the text is represented in the insight level which lays out the relation dependent on variety by establishing an impact of oration and the meaning hidden in its cotexts for absence is a process of firming and constructing. Thus, absence is giving a symbol or the meaning indicated by the text which contains the implied elements of absence. This makes the double character of text effective which might be called the untold part whether the poet is willing or not to do so. Then, the controversial elements of absence become more plain than the elements of presence themselves. This specially coded effectiveness in the text would be framed by its context between the creative poet and the hearer or reader.
