Home In The Poetry Of Saudi Arabia Poets: Ibrahim Khafaji An Example Of A Distinguished Arab

Authors : Dahami Yahya .

Abstract

Arab poets legally use the phrase homeland, relying on vocabulary that introduces both divine and physical. This is depicted in dense poetry that is inspired by the poet's pastures and that portrays the joy of an entity's existence. The poets gather their material and transcendent resources and conclude by saying that the homeland is the exemption that does not allow partnership regarding patriotism. This study aims to shed light on some literary traits of contemporary Saudi poetry with specific reference to the Saudi poet Ibrahim Abd Al-Rahman Khafaji. It explicitly uses the idea of homeland as an example of where modern Saudi poetry stands. One may say that among Arab writers, critics, and poets, Saudi poetry is currently in a favorable situation. A brief analysis of Glimpse at Saudi Poetry and the Conception of Home in Saudi Poetry follows the study's introduction. The main body of the study uses a critical-analytical approach to assess the poem ‘Hasten to Glory and Supremacy’ (سَارِعِي لِلْمَجْدِ وَالْعَلْيَاء) by Ibrahim Khafaji. The focus of the poem's analysis is on the notion of home, which serves as its main theme. The research concludes briefly at this point.
