This research deals with the study of the manifestations of the pre-Islamic poet complaint of a lifetime, and through the manifestations of misery and helplessness; complained forever that reflected the negative forces in both picture of ruins and inability. In fact, this points to horror as long he tried to draw a nominally to relax, or to prepare for a specific matter. This horror is no more than time, as we find in this research a sense of impotence, and the al-Jahili tries to overcome it at times, and surrender at others. Impotence means man's inability, and the impossibility to achieve his goals. If man stops helpless in front of disease, death and loss and others, the most felt thing is his failure to resist fate. This study begins by talking about the concept of eternity, then scrutinizes the al- Jahili poets' view to fate. It manifests the revelations of complaint from fate with the two pictures of ruins and inability.
