A phonological study by any language which includes the speech sounds and their features such as phonation, articulation and combination in the syllables in addition to their perception are basic in any phonological study.The current study aims at exploring the phonological suggestions in one of the well-known poems by Shawqi in which the complimented the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) : the prophetic Aspirate (Hamza) . Shawqi (died 1932) is considered the prince of poets in modern times . He wrote this very well-known poem in (1334H/1917A.D) The procedure followed in this study depends mainly on inventory and frequency of the sounds that occurred in this poem as they are pronounced rather than their written forms . The written forms are not considered in this study . The study follows a descriptive analytical approach . The descriptive approach is applied in the introductory chapter and all other chapters of the study . Descriptive here means describing th consonant and vowel sounds by giving their features : distinctive and non-distinctive in addition to describing syllable structures.With regard to the analytical approach, it involves a phonological analysis of the different images of the above poem and their suggestions or insinuation.
