There is reference to the poem of Abu Zooeb Al Hozaly in almost all
studies about the trace of the time in Arabic poetry, the poet who said
when he elegized his sons whom he lost at same time. So, the poet
formed a unique elegizing experiment. He
started it with special speech
about his sadness and wisdom, then moved to the common state; when he
comforted himself by saying three stories which shaped the ultimate
power of man, then shaped the collapsing of this power in front of time
and death.
This research aims at light lighting the aspects of the poem by
studying the duality of mortality and eternity that controlled the poem,
the properties of poetic speech, and the narrative elements style of Abu
Zooeb.
The approaching of the poem by criticism forms a reading which
may add new to dimensions previous reading in some aspects and agrees
with it in the others.
