Abstract
Wisdom is an important theme that has a distinct and active presence
in the erotic poetry of the Islamic and Umayyad eras. This is due to its
widespread popularity among Arabs since ancient times, due to its
ability to address many prevailing customs and traditions, and its
ability to present life in its true form. Since man is not only reason and
not emotions, but rather reason and emotions, and since emotions
require reason to guide and direct them, erotic poets in the eras of
scholarship were keen to include what originates from reason along
with what is driven by emotion. As for how wisdom poetry fits into love
poetry and the extent of its success, this is due to the poets themselves -
the study sample - as we, through our reading of these wisdom poems,
found that they are not just ideas that love poets were guided to, and
drew from their real experiences, but rather we found that they are
more like a vessel that accommodated the culture of their era, which
varied between religion, logic, and philosophy. Perhaps this is what
gave these poems a human dimension that harmonized and agreed with
the human dimension that love poetry aims for. This dimension obliged
the love poet to be in constant communication with the recipient for the
purpose of influence. Therefore, we find these poets carefully choosing
their words and meanings in a way that is more attractive to the
recipient and more influential on him. Therefore, the poet tends towards
various artistic means and stylistic techniques in constructing his poetic
text, which pushes the recipient to interpret and imagine what is
presented to him and try to justify it and find an interpretation for the
deviations that the poet relied on in his text. All of this helped to create
and find The poetics of the wisdom text - the aim of the research -
Perhaps addressing such a topic requires following an approach that
describes the phenomenon, and then making a connection between them
and the mechanisms used in their formation and the impact they have on
the recipient in terms of reaction, interpretation, imagination, and
acceptance. The research was chosen by the supervising professor, and
its idea was based on how reason (wisdom poetry) can combine with
emotion (love poetry). We found that poets were interested in
constructing these poems artistically - as we mentioned previously - to
be more acceptable and resonate with the soul, and even to give a
beauty that distinguishes this text from others, within an attempt to

activate the vitality of the text. Therefore, its formulation came in a
context that attracts the recipient to adopt it and fulfills its poetic
function, to make each recipient interact with it to the extent that they
find themselves in it. Here, the text acquires the quality of continuity,
and this continuity distinguishes this text from others, as the text
interacts with the recipient for a long period of time. The more the
poetic text succeeds in shaking the heart of the recipient and activating
interpretation, the more it is a reason for its immortality, despite the
passing of the occasion in which it was said. Here lies the poetic value
of the text, which distinguishes it from others, and gives it the quality of
immortality and the distinct artistic value that casts its influence on the
soul. The research plan required three chapters, preceded by an
introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first chapter addressed
"The Poetics of Styles," divided into three sections. The first section
examined the poetics of the interrogative style, while the second section
examined the poetics of the advancing and delaying style. The third
section examined the poetics of the shifting style. The second chapter,
titled "The Synergy of Opposites," contains two sections. The first
section examines the poetics of contrast, while the second examines the
poetics of paradox. The third chapter, titled "The Poetics of
Argumentation," contains three sections. The first section examines the
strategies of argumentation, the second examines the means of
argumentation, and the third examines the functions of argumentation.
Perhaps it is useful to point out the type of sources and references upon
which this study relied. Poets' collections came first, followed by
numerous studies that addressed the purpose of ghazal poetry in the
eras under study. These studies then followed those that focused on
poetics, from which we selected those most relevant to our study and
research focus. The research relied on Jakobson's poetics, as well as
the poetics of Jean Cohen. If we may consider the difficulties the study
faced, the foremost among them was the scarcity of verses of wisdom in
ghazal poetry, as not every ghazal text contains such verses. We
overcame the remaining difficulties through reading and the guidance
of our supervisor.
