شعر رياض حمزة شير علي : دراسة في الشكل و المضمون

الملخص EN

Holy Najaf is a an Islamic city which has a great significant in history and civilisation.

It is famous of its mosques and religious schools.

Since departed by ash- sheikh at-Tousi in 448 A.

H., it has been the covering the world with its cultural and intellectual light and supplying it with whatsoever useful and beneficial.

Najaf is the inherent of Old Kufa as the leading figure of civilisation.

Hence, it becomes the sight attracting of all Muslims who visit it in delegations that rarely leave it.

Najaf is also a literary environment that has embraced poets and literary men to the extent that poetry has been a distinctive feature of Najaf.

This has been a consequence of a scientific movement that expanded for centuries.

Therefore, poets were many and poetry was so much that poets were strongly competing for privilege.

Among those poets was Riyadh Sheer Ali, the famous writer.

He lived in this scientific and intellectual environment wherein he became well-qualified and creative poet and well-known writer.

The environment refined his poetic abilities and developed his intellect and widened his mind .

He left a great poetic heritage most of which was unfortunately lost and only a little was found in newspapers and some books.

His poetry did not only make him pioneer among his peers but also told us so much about minute details of his life, especially his agony farer from his Home and family.

Besides, much has been found in his poetry concerning many aspects of life and behaviour, human activity, and rich scenes and images of the society he lived in.

this encourages me to study this poet as I find him a scientific research of a literary study.
