A Stylistic Study of the Poem Sarhan la Yatasalam Mafatih al-Qods

Stylistic study is one of the most important methods in contemporary literary research that began with translation movement and awakened activities and thoughts close to the western culture. This approach is an attempt to unveil the hidden beauties of different styles by analyzing linguistic elements and their relation to real situations and/or the literary work. Using an analytic-descriptive method, this research is an attempt in the stylistic study of the poem "Sarhan la yatasalam mafatih al-Qods" by the Egyptian poet, Amal Donqol. This poet was chosen because he is among the most important cotemporary Arab poets who raised the flag for human causes and remains true to his causes. He writes about humanitarian, pro-social and political issues as well as the pains of the Egyptians who suffer oppression and exploitation. His concerns include human rights and the problems of the Arab world. For this reason, his works convey revolutionary thoughts that pivot around freedom of man through revolution and reform. One of the most remarkable results of this study is that Amal Donqol has profited from various stylistic features such as intertextuality, masque, dialogues, monologues, symbols, mythology, and special rhythms. By reading his poetry, you can see a character that takes you to a world where there exists no peace and tranquility, a place where there is only pain and sufferings. Also, you can recognize his beliefs and humanistic tendencies. Undoubtedly, his rebellion reflects his inner state which fuel him with special power as a result of which one can see the world from the perspective of a brave man who is alone in confronting the world. In this way, his life has turned into a poem and his poems into life; and rebellion, uprising, revolution and unrealized dreams have paved a path to his true self.
