تأثير الصوفية و الحب الإلهي في شعر إبن الفارض

Abstract

[Ibnul Farid was a famous Sufi Poet of Egypt during the
Ayyubid era. His Poems are centered around divine thought
and love of Allah. In his childhood he studied hadith
(traditions) and Shafi Fiqh (Jurisprudence) and later on
became a practicing Sufi. He spent a long time in isolation. He
has a small collection of poetry called diwan of Ibnul Farid.
Though short, it is one of the original or fundamental works of
Arabic poetry. His poetry is exceptionally exquisite in term of
its style of writing and full of beauty and ornate. His poems
were written to be sung in Sufi circle. Its exoteric and esoteric
meanings are very deep. They are sung both as poems of
mundane love and divine love. His collection of poetry has
two fully spiritual poems. The first one is Khamriyat ()*+,-./0)
or the description of the love Allah and its greatness. The
second one is called Nazm as Suluk (3456/0 789) or the poem
about the way to the spiritual path. This Qasida Ibnul Farid
has narrated a deep and mourning description of all his
experience in the spiritual path. This poem of seventh hundred
and sixty verses is also called At-Taiyy al-Kubra (<,=>/0 ?@A*B/0)
which all the lines ended with Ta ())].
