Lamentation in the al-Sayyab,s poetry

Abstract EN

In the event that cutting edge Arabic verse has laid out an idea of writing in which different topics and fixations are entwined, bypassing the old conventional purposes, like pride, recognition and parody, then, at that point, groan, as a cry of dissent notwithstanding misfortune and passing, has involved truly a spot in the encounters of contemporary writers, whether it is a regret for a feeble progress.

About getting up, as Khalil Hawi did in "Lazarus," or as a recognition for companions, family members and saints, as in Al-Sayyab, Nizar Qabbani, Abdel-Sabour, Hijazi, Al-Fitouri, Darwish, Amal Dunqul and numerous others.

Notwithstanding, self indulgence while detecting the coming flight is addressed specifically by Al-Sayyab, Amal Dunqul and Mahmoud Darwish.

Al-Sayyab, sure in his late long stretches of the disturbance of his terminal ailment, and of the appalling destiny looking for him while he was in the prime of his childhood, transformed his last texts into something like individual funeral poems pierced with pictures of death and its nonexistent repercussions: "Gracious my sickness Death cover you And could you check whether demise came about I dread? Do not let the yellow smiles and the two openings Where the eyes have sucked Hordes of multitudes of worms hunch the quietness around.
