Abstract
Elegy is a prominent and important topic of Arabic poetry in Nigeria, as through it the poet can express his feelings and pain he suffers due to the magnitude of the calamity resulting from the loss of a loved one who has a high status in the hearts of the people, despite all this, the elegy of women, whether a wife, daughter or sister, was very little and rare among Nigerian poets. Perhaps the reason for this is what critics have said, that the most difficult elegy for a poet is to eulogize a child or a woman, due to the narrowness of speech and the scarcity of attributes. This may lead to the failure of the poet, especially in the eulogy, which is a reminder of the tragedy and praise of the virtues of the deceased, and mentioning and enumerating his good qualities. This has led poets to abandon this type of elegy, except for a few of them. Among the contemporary Nigerian poets who practiced the elegy of women, despite the difficulty involved, is the poet Muhammad Nazir bin Muhammad Al-Qaurawi. This article aims to conduct an analytical literary study of the poet’s poem “Al-Hamziyah” in which he mourned his sister, with the aim of discovering the poem’s artistic values and highlighting the poet’s emotional quality in it. The article will focus on addressing this problem using the analytical method, relying on the following elements: a brief overview of the poet - presentation of the poem - structure of the poem and the poet’s emotional quality in it - the most important ideas contained in the poem - elements of elegy in the poem - artistic values in the poem - artistic evaluation of the poem - conclusion - list of references.
