Abstract

Abstract:The psychological purpose has an influence on the poet's recourse to symbolism, and one of the Islamic poems that carried symbolic connotations is "Al-Burda" by Ka'b ibn Zuhayr. He began it with a romantic symbolic introduction and employed the Arabian mythological symbol of "Al-Ghoul." He alluded to the "Araquob appointments," an ancient Arab metaphor, to provide a suggestive symbol reflecting his suffering and the hardship he endured due to the failure of others to fulfill their promises to him. In the realm of modern poets, we find Al-Sayyab in his poem "Tammuz Jikur," where Tammuz was one of the mythical symbols through which he attempted to express his poetic experience and suggest the psychological and physical pain within him. As for Jikur, it carried a symbolic significance for the poet, representing a safe place for him.
