Al-Khansa’s Poem (Died. 24 AH) Ending with (Y) in Mourning for her brother Sakhr (A Reading of The Literary and Linguistic Data of The Text)

Abstract

The Arabic poetic text represents the essence of the intellectual, cultural and philosophical experience of the Arab personality, inspired by images and contemplative ideas that summarize the experience of the Arab person in existential issues and their religious, political, social and moral interactions. It is no wonder that Al-Khansa was one of the creative poets in producing contemplative purposes that indicate the authenticity of her poetic experience. On this basis, her poem that ends with (Y) in her grief over her brother (Sakhr) is an indicator of committed values ​​that distance themselves from pragmatic goals and false elegies, in light of the prevalence of emotional and sentimental honesty in her elegiac style, which confirms that it was an inherent feature of her poetic awareness. Based on the above, our study of this poem relied on a literary reading that addressed the identity of the text and its basic and implicit ideas, and a linguistic reading that looked at the linguistic phenomena and patterns contained in the text that frame the text with its functional and methodological character.
