The duality of “Life and Death” occupies a central position in human consciousness, stemming from its profound ontological ambiguity and the perpetual tension between the innate human yearning for immortality and the existential dread of annihilation. In modern literature, and particularly within poetry, this theme serves as a critical lens for exploring complex psychological, social, and political landscapes. This study conducts a comparative analysis of this duality in the works of the Iraqi poet Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and the Iranian poet Mohammad-Reza Shafiei Kadkani.Utilizing the methodology of the American School of Comparative Literature—integrating historical context, critical theory, and textual analysis—the research examines the lexical, symbolic, and structural manifestations of life and death in both poets’ oeuvres. Through a descriptive-analytical approach, the study deconstructs the imagery and metaphorical frameworks utilized by the poets to bridge the gap between Arabic and Persian literary traditions. The research concludes that while the duality of life and death forms a fundamental structural pillar for both poets, its semantic and ideological implications diverge significantly. For al-Sayyab, death is an embodiment of loss, political displacement, illness, and existential fragmentation. Conversely, for Kadkani, death transcends the physical, assuming philosophical and mystical dimensions intertwined with time, cosmic destiny, and the essence of existence. Both poets employ a shared symbolic lexicon—contrasting night and darkness with light and spring—which reveals a profound cross-cultural aesthetic dialogue, ultimately highlighting how distinct intellectual traditions can converge to explore the universal human condition while maintaining their unique creative identities.
