This study highlights the forms of deprivation and determination in the poetry of al-Muthaqqab al-Abdi, depending on certain poetical images that disclose the parameters of the circulating conflict between the poet and time via a cultural apocalypse that apparently envisages the concentricity of the antagonist. Also, this research reveals the co-existence of al-Muthaqqab al-Abdi of certain different contradictory existential forms through two streams: the first confirms his fragility and deprivation of liberty and the self, the second confirms his identity and freedom. Among these two streams lies a passing bridge that leads him to the world of determination and existence.
