.Any text without an interpretive reading that shows the hidden meanings is a passive reaction. Using interpretive reading and a descriptive-analytical method, this study interprets the poems of Ali Jafar al-Alaq. The study mainly aims to get to a proper understanding of the poet's poetry and his ode “The Song of Lost Homeland”. Having a historical attitude, this ode analyzes the situation in the Arab countries and using artistic images, depicts the wounds of his land from the Andalus time to the present. In addition to the truth, the poet pays special attention to the innovative aspect of the language of poetry and, using a metaphoric language, paradox, synesthesia, and foreignization, strengthens the semantic and aesthetic burden of the poem. This ode is of important mythological and religious heritage and the poet use it to objectify the meanings and references of the poem. Moreover, different forms of music play an interpretive role in the ode. Using parallel forms in rhymes the poet tries to create beautiful structures. A connection between the references of title of the poem and the main body of the ode shows that using an intertextual title, the poet gives the readership all the meanings and content of the poem and reminds the betrayal and destruction of his home land.
