Discourse Analysis Of Popular Lyrics Of Ibn Makhluf

Authors : Ilhem Serir-mortad .

Abstract

لخضر بن خلوف ولي صالح وشاعر بارع أفنى كتاباته في التذلل لله عز وجل وفي مدح خير الأنام محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام. تتسم أبياته بالعفوية والبساطة ولكن في الآن ذاته تتصف بالمعنى العميق والمغزى البعيد. والكتابة عنه وعن أشعاره باللغة الانجليزية ما هي إلا محاولة للتعريف بهذا العلامة الجليل للقراء غير العرب من أجل التبصر والتمعن في قوة الكلمة الموزونة والمنسقة في قالب شعري أجمل ما فيه هو كتابته باللهجة المتداولة عند العامة Actually the word ‘discourse’ that derives from the Latin word ‘discursus’ stands for 'conversation, speech' and poets usually are speakers of mankind. There is a fact agreed upon as regards discourse analysis of poems that are popular and spontaneously written in dialect that most of the populace understands. A poem in its simplest definitions is a written text which can be approached from a variety of disciplinary viewpoints. These types of texts are of great importance for readers; not only are they vehicles of knowledge but also they contribute to represent that social level or category or class who are proud of a heritage of wisdom and culture derived from the past by previous generations. The representative voice of this heritage in the scope of this article is the Algerian Sufi and mystic scholar Lakhdar Ibn Makhluf who devoted his life for the service of Allah and his Messenger through producing religious lyrics know as el-Madih. This article, thus, targets at exposing a simple discourse analysis to Ibn Makhluf’s short verses with the aim, at the same time, to introduce part of the folkloric treasure that Algerian culture possesses and for that reason the poems have been translated to English. One among the works of Ibn Makhluf refers to his ancestry which goes back to the noble creature the daughter of the prophet Muhammed Peace be upon him Fatema Zahra’ and back to Ali bin Abi Taleb May Allah honour them all.
