Abstract
Abufiras al-Hamdani is a romantic poet of the fourth century A. H. who composed a mourning ode for his mother when he was in the Roman’s prison; and Barudi is a gifted poet of the thirteenth century A. H. who, in the time of exile, shed tears of wistfulness and composed a magnificent ode in memory of his late wife. These two odes are of the most magnificent mourning poems of these two poets and Arabic literature. An analysis of the structure and the content of these two immortal works, and putting them on the scale of criticism and equalization make up the vast perspective of this writing. The present study suggests that these two meritorious works, with their thematic unity and artistic veracity, picture the painful sentiments, mental concerns, and conditions governing the lives of these afflicted poets well and in an artistic manner. The results of the present study show that although the artistic techniques of expressing the poets’ affection have differentiated the odes, the transcendental affection, the outstanding personality and the relatively similar conditions of these two poets have given them a similar atmosphere.
