Abstract :

One of the major subjects in contemporary Arabic poetry is mysticism that has always had a special manifestation among Arabic poets. They have composed beautiful and attractive poems via employing pure mystical ideas. Although in the contemporary era the mystical teachings of ancient poets such as Ibn Arabi will not project, since mysticism is a part of body and soul of the Iranian public and poetry is the best means of sharing internal emotions and ideas of a poet, one can witness some manifestation of these pure ideas in contemporary poetry. Badr Shakir Al-Sayyab is among modernist and famous poets of contemporary Arabic poetry, and philosophical and mystical themes are a parts of his pure poetry divan. Employing mystical concepts such as death and destruction, separation, monism, existence, issue of love, and approach towards God, Al-Sayyab has enlivened his odes. This paper seeks mystical elements through analytic descriptive method to data processing in Badr Shakir Al-Sayyad's poetry.
