Abstract

Music plays a prominent role in contemporary poetry's structure and arouses the emotions of the audience while enhancing the beauty of the verses. The undeniable connection between poetry and music is evident because the beauty and longevity of any poem depend on its utilization of music. With that in mind, Mahmoud Darvish and Qahar Aasi are among the poets who have shown special attention to this aesthetic element. In Darvish’s poems, there is an epic spirit, which characterizes as a guard/ weapon to protect the land of Palestine. Similarly, Aasi's recent poem, "From the Fire and the Silk", shows his patriotic spirit. Both of these poets have tried to integrate music in their poems to deliver the message to their audience in a more beautiful and attractive way. The current research examines the element of music in Mahmoud Darvish's poetry collection, "Almond Blossoms and Beyond", and Qahar Aasi’s collection "From the Fire and the Silk". Using a descriptive-analytical approach and precise statistical analysis of selected poems from both poets, the investigations indicate that they share common themes in their poetry, but the authors seek to illuminate the method of employing music in the poetry of these two poets and the harmony between music and its content. The results demonstrate differences in the utilization of music and its relationship with the content and subject matter of the poetry by the two poets. However, the connection between music, content, emotions, and thoughts is a matter that can always be observed in their poetry.

دراسة تطبیقیة للموسیقی فی شعر شعراء المقاومة العرب و الافغانیة مجموعتی کزهر اللوز أو ابعد لمحمود درویش ومن النار ومن الحریر لقهّار عاصی نموذجاً

Abstract [العربیة]

إن للموسیقی دوراً هامّاً فی بنیة الشعر الحدیث کما تسبب إثارة العواطف والأحاسیس فی المتلقی وتزید من جمالیات النص. إن الشعر هو وثیق الصلة بالموسیقی ولایمکن انکارها. لأن جمال أیة قصیدة و بقاؤها یعتمدان على مدى استفادتها من الموسیقى. لذلک کان محمود درویش وقهار عاصی من بین الشعراء الذین أبدوا اهتمامًا خاصًا بهذا العنصر الجمالی. تتمیز قصائد درویش بروح ملحمیة و شعور بالوطنیة نحو أرض فلسطین. وبالمثل ، تظهر قصیدة "من النار والحریر" روحه الوطنیة. حاول هذان الشاعران تضمین الموسیقى فی قصائدهما لإیصال المضامین المبتکرة إلى المتلقی بطریقة جمیلة. تستهدف هذه المقالة الدراسة المقارنة لعنصر الموسیقى فی مجموعة شعر محمود درویش "کزهرة اللوز أو بعیدًا" ومجموعة قهار عاصی "من النار والحریر" وباستخدام منهج وصفی تحلیلی وتحلیل إحصائی دقیق لقصائد مختارة من کلا الشاعرین. تشیر النتایج إلى أنهما یشترکان فی معظم المضامین الشعریة فی شعرهما ، لکن االباحثین یسعون إلى إلقاء الضوء على طریقة توظیف الموسیقى فی شعر هذین الشاعرین والتناغم بین الموسیقى ومحتواها. أظهرت النتائج خلافات فی استخدام الموسیقى وعلاقتها بمحتوى وموضوع لدی کل شاعر. ومع ذلک ، فإن العلاقة بین الموسیقى والمحتوى والعواطف والأفکار هی المتلاحمة دائمًا فی شعرهما.
