English Abstract

The present study aimed to figure out the strategies adopted by Omer Abu Risha in rendering imagery from Arabic into English and to examine the procedure which has been used in rendering poetic devices .Moreover , the study also tries to show the extent of the poet translator ‘s succcess in rendering his poems in another language.

To achieve the above-mentioned objectives , the researccher raised the following three questions; what are the strategies adopted by Omer Abu Rish in rendeing imagery from Arabic into English ?What procedures has he uded in in rendering poetic devices? To what extent has the poet been successful in rendering his poems in another language?To answer the above questions the researcher followed a descriptive analysis of two selected poems “the eagle and roads”.

The study concluded that classical Arabic poetry can be translted into English with a great extent of effectiveness and the translator plays a significant role to overcome the problematic issues he may encounter through the process of translation.

Furthermore, the poet-translator has the ability to produce a new poem in the target language as a mirror of the source language which conveys the same message in both languages.Moreover, following the appropriate strategies and procedures is a method to overcome the culturally bound–expressions and the difficulty of translating figurative language such as metaphor, simile, personification, etc.
