Abstract :

Mutanabi and Abu Faras are among the poets of Saif al-Dawlah's court, whose poetry has been different in various poetic purposes, especially in elegies, due to several factors; In his praises for various poetic purposes, Mutanabi has also praised himself many times, while praising Mamduh's generosity and generosity, bravery and skill; But in the laments, especially the laments of Khola, Saif al-Dawlah's older sister, the poet shared Saif al-Dawlah's grief over the loss of his sister and became sad and shed tears. He has also mentioned all his good qualities and morals, which indicate his high status, value, knowledge and politeness. Then he described the king as high-minded and absolved him from all the useless actions that others engage in. In this ode, the poet has taken refuge more in his feelings and emotions than his art and intellect. Abu Faras, in his Rumiat, took refuge in conscientious poems and showed a painful emotion in his poem so that the listener does not feel weak or reluctant while listening to it. In this research, which was carried out by a descriptive-analytical method, based on a library study, the author tries to answer the question of which of the poetic purposes of these two poets contains emotion while examining the element of emotion in the poems of Mutanabi and Abu Faras? And what is the difference and similarity between these two poets in expressing the element of emotion?
