قصيدة المديح الإحيائية : البيعة و الخلافة

Abstract EN

The study examines Hāfidh Ibrāhīm's panegyric madīh poem to the Neo-Classical pioneer poet, Maḥmūd Sāmī al-Bārūdī, whose poetry is the cornerstone of the Neo-Classical School in the Modern Arabic literature.

The main objective of this study is to understand the status of al-Bārūdī as the precursor of the Arab poetic revival of the modern age and of Hāfidh as his successor.

The poem acts as a poetic allegiance to al- Bārūdī on one hand, and a supplication for succession on the other.

To support the descriptive approach which employs the critical analysis of the poetic texts, the study focuses on significant concepts such as Hāfidh Ibrāhīm's panegyric madīh poem as a poetic contrafaction (Mu'āradha) of al-Mutanabbi's dāliyyah, Hāfidh's poetic voice (lyric I), the reconstruction of the traditional qasīdah with its themes and sections, and virtue as an essential factor for leadership in modern Arab community.
