This study was conducted to analyse the elements of text cohesion in the two short stories collection of "Damascus fire" by Zakaria Tameer who is a Syrian writer; “The orchard” and “The night” as samples.

Based on the observations, the researchers have conducted a study on the elements of cohesion in order to verify the connection of texts with each other in various types of documents such as al-Quran, Hadith, books, maqamat, and novels.

In this study, the researcher has analyzed the 1973 Damascus fire short stories collection by Zakaria Tameer, a writer who known as a modernist in short story writing and renowned for his call to witness and criticize the reality of the Arab world.

The researcher has utilized the methodology performed by Halliday and Ruqayyah Hassan for the cohesion standards until the end of the study, whereby Tameer uses the elements of grammatical cohesion such as anaphora, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion such as synonym and recurrence.
