Ibn Zidon's poetry through his ignorance and worship (technical study)

Abstract

The present study aimed to reveal the poetry of Ibn Zaidoun in terms of form and content, in the Jahwery court in Córdoba, and the Abbadi court in Seville. Technical method was used as it analyzes the components of the poetic text in terms of words, structures, and the nature of the formulation. The results showed that Ibn Zaidoun restricted his poetry to kings and princes, and most of it was distributed between Bani Jahour in Córdoba and Bani Abbad in Seville. Ibn Zaidoun's Jahweriat were said at the stage of formation and aspiration for authority and prestige. Most of his poems told from prison which he sends to Abi Al-Hazm, and to his son Abi Al-Walid. These poems are dominated by the tones of sympathy, nostalgia and reproach, and complaints about informants, in which Ibn Zaidoun is proud of his manners. Such poems are closer to praising himself than praising Abi Al-Hazm and his son Abi Al-Walid. The ego in his poetry appears tyrant, arrogant, rejecting, proud of itself, and sometimes we see it crying and humiliating. The results also revealed that emotion appears sincere in his poetry in the Seville court in the praise and lamentation.
