Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Water is a symbol of nature, which poets successfully drew with their sheer expression of the meaning of this symbol. The poets also displayed how it functioned in their poetry, presenting it as an important vital element that satisfied all of its dimensions in a plethora of poetry and poetic drawings and imagery. This research tackles this symbolism conveying thereby the poet’s suffering in his view of “water”. This beautiful theme, which was caught with the dexterous pens of the poets. The two researchers searched in the poetic collections of the Umayyad and Abbasid ages for the most significant manifestations of the approaches of these poets to the term, “water”, through their careful selection of this term, recognizing water as the elixir of life, describing it with the lightest and most delicate language regarding the most important subjects dealt by the poets of the two eras.First is the Umayyad era where the Arabic poetry was still closely attached to its environment and an extension to an era where Arabic language had a profound impact on people. Many great poets emerged in this era who produced breath-taking poetic imageries that survived the test of time such as Tho Al-rema, whose poetry constituted a third of the Arabic language, who managed to bring rhythmical literary piece from his abundant inaccessible poetic faculty carrying mesmerizing images and a clear honest tone that left an everlasting impact. In the Abbasid era, the poetic meanings and imaginations transformed into a flowing stream by the hand of the peerless poets of that time such as Abi Tamam, Al-Buhturi, Ibn Al-Mutaz whose voices were ringing with the alluring songs of pureness like water in a green field.
