Lamiat Al-Arab is the famous ode that consists of 68 verses were related to Shanfara, Saalouk poet, in the pre-Islamic era. The present study based on a coherent or comprehensive analysis that explores all the elements and factors of ode technically, historically, and psychologically. This research aims to analyze poetic interpretations, understand the poet's emotions, and discover the quality of the relationship between his mind and his language. Both psychologically and rhetorically, this research reveals the inconsistency between the poet's and his unconscious claims. In the discussion of fantasy, the poet's vehicles reflect his attention to society and social life, while the poet from the first verses claims to leave the tribe. The poet's tone also fluctuates between the lyric and addressing poem, and even the addressing aspect of it overcomes the harmonious and intrinsic factor. These contradictions are not the reason for the poet's audacity and the poet's untruthful feeling but refer to the gap between the confusing and contradictory lives of Shanfara and his ideals.

Reading the Arabian poems attributed to pre-Islamic era, especially Mu’allaqat, one constantly faces a widespread linguistic phenomenon that somehow impedes the process of understanding “the signified” and the meaning of the poems. This linguistic technique is characterized by deletion of the qualified and replacement of one or more qualifiers for it. The phenomenon is today discussed in some references on meaning and locution as “figurative language based on qualifier” and in some others as “figurative semantic collocation”. The researcher hypothesises that the occurrence of this linguistic usage in pre-Islamic Arabian poetry is not a superficial and accidental occurrence, but a linguistic approach realized in the “syntagmatic axis” aimed at enriching the literariness of speech, being an eloquent selection much in line with the temperaments of those nomadic desert dwellers. In the present paper, this common linguistic occurrence is investigated in meaningful and basic connection with geography, thought, and culture of the pre-Islamic Arabs and their life conditions. The findings indicate that the process of deletion of the qualified and transfer of meaning to the qualifier creates a kind of succinctness and empowers the representational character, leading to better dynamicity of the reader’s mind.
