Home in the Poetry of Saudi Arabia Poets: Khalid Al-Faisal an Example of a Distinguished Arab

Abstract

Poetry is the singing of birds, and the homeland is the nest of those birds. Accordingly, we find that there is a mutual link between poetry and the homeland. In order to show the originality and creativity of one of the founders of poetry who loves the homeland, the aim of this research study is to highlight and review some of the values in Saudi poetry. In addition, the study attempts, through critical analysis, to show the status of poetry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a rapidly growing Arab country that supports contemporary poets and literary giants, in addition to literature, learning, and culture. One of these prominent poets is Khaled Al-Faisal, who devoted his life to the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to the production of many styles of contemporary Saudi poetry. It is known that philosophers may express their attachment and belonging through a small part of the larger homeland, and thus they express their love and loyalty to it.

On the one hand, the researcher seeks to highlight the poet's experience and show his love for his great homeland, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through the influential poem bearing the title "Umm Al-Gura" by the poet Khalid Al-Faisal. On the other hand, the researcher makes an effort to evaluate and analyze the poet's talent for using poetic images and symbols in his poetry with reference to this poem. The study begins with a brief introduction to poetry, its magnificence, and its importance. It then moves to a brief review of Saudi literature and provides an overview and a quick look at the importance and status of the holy city, Makkah Al-Mukarramah. The researcher moves on to the main subject of the study, which is represented in analyzing and exploring the rest of the poem "Umm Al-Gura" by the Saudi poet Khalid Al-Faisal. The study uses a critical analytical approach with a focus on the homeland as the main emphasis of the study, which ends with a brief conclusion.

اَلشَّعْر هُوَ غِنَاءُ اَلْعَصَافِيرِ، وَالْوَطَنُ هُوَ عُشُّ تِلْكَ اَلْعَصَافِيرِ، بِنَاءٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، نَجِدُ هُنَاكَ عَلَاقَةُ اِرْتِبَاطٍ مُتَبَادَلَةٍ بَيْنَ اَلشِّعْرِ وَالْوَطَنِ. مِنْ أَجْلِ إِظْهَارِ أَصَالَةِ وَإِبْدَاعِ أَحَدِ مُؤَسِّسِي اَلشَّعْرِ اَلَّذِي يَهْوَى اَلْوَطَنُ، جَاءَ هَدَفُ هَذِهِ اَلدِّرَاسَةِ اَلْبَحْثِيَّةِ إِلَى اِسْتِكْمَالِ إِبْرَازٍ وَاسْتِعْرَاضٍ جُزْئِيَّةٍ مِنْ اَلْقِيَمِ فِي اَلشِّعْرِ اَلسُّعُودِيِّ. بِالْإِضَافَةِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، فَالدِّرَاسَةُ تُحَاوِلُ مِنْ خِلَالِ اَلتَّحْلِيلِ اَلنَّاقِدِ إِظْهَارَ مَكَانَةِ اَلشِّعْرِ فِي اَلْمَمْلَكَةِ اَلْعَرَبِيَّةِ اَلسُّعُودِيَّةِ، كَدَوْلَةٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ سَرِيعَةٍ اَلنُّمُوِّ، تَدْعَمَ اَلشُّعَرَاءَ اَلْمُعَاصِرِينَ وَعَمَالِقَةَ اَلْأَدَبِ، بِالْإِضَافَةِ إِلَى اَلْأَدَبِ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ وَالثَّقَافَةِ. أَحَدُ هَؤُلَاءِ اَلشُّعَرَاءِ اَلْبَارِزِينَ هُوَ خَالِدْ اَلْفَيْصَلْ اَلَّذِي كَرَّسَ حَيَاتَهُ لِتَطْوِيرِ اَلْمَمْلَكَةِ اَلْعَرَبِيَّةِ اَلسُّعُودِيَّةِ، وَإِنْتَاجَ أَنْمَاطٍ عَدِيدَةٍ مِنْ اَلشِّعْرِ اَلسُّعُودِيِّ اَلْمُعَاصِرِ. وَمِنْ اَلْمَعْرُوفِ أَنَّ اَلْفَلَاسِفَةَ قَدْ يُعَبِّرُونَ عَنْ اِرْتِبَاطِهِمْ وَانْتِمَائِهِمْ مِنْ خِلَالِ جُزْءٍ صَغِيرٍ مِنْ اَلْوَطَنِ اَلْأَكْبَرِ وَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ يُعَبِّرُونَ عَنْ حُبِّهِمْ وَوَلَائِهِمْ لَهُ.

مِنْ جَانِبٍ، يَسْعَى اَلْبَاحِثُ إِلَى إِبْرَازِ خِبْرَةِ اَلشَّاعِرِ وَإِظْهَارِ حُبِّهِ لِوَطَنِهِ اَلْكَبِيرِ، اَلْمَمْلَكَةُ اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ اَلسُّعُودِيَّةُ، مِنْ خِلَالِ اَلْقَصِيدَةِ اَلْمُؤَثِّرَةِ اَلَّتِي تَحْمِلُ عُنْوَانًا وَطَنِيًّا هُوَ "أُمُّ اَلْقُرَى" لِلشَّاعِرِ خَالِدْ اَلْفَيْصَلْ. وَمِنْ جَانِبٍ آخَرَ، يَبْذُلَ اَلْبَاحِثُ جُهْدًا فِي تَقْيِيمِ وَتَحْلِيلِ مَوْهِبَةِ اَلشَّاعِرِ فِي اِسْتِخْدَامِ اَلصُّوَرِ وَالرُّمُوزِ اَلشِّعْرِيَّةِ فِي شِعْرِهِ، مُسْتَشْهِدًا بِهَذِهِ اَلْقَصِيدَةِ. تَبْدَأَ اَلدِّرَاسَةُ بِمُقَدِّمَةٍ مُوجَزَةٍ عَنْ اَلشِّعْرِ وَرَوْعَتِهِ وَأَهَمِّيَّتِهِ، ثُمَّ تَنْتَقِلُ إِلَى اِسْتِعْرَاضٍ مُوجَزٍ عَنْ الِأَدَب اَلسُّعُودِيِّ، ثُمَّ تَقْدِيمِ لَمْحَةِ وَنَظْرَةِ سَرِيعَةٍ عَلَى أَهَمِّيَّةِ وَمَكَانَةِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ اَلْمُقَدَّسَةِ، مَكَّة اَلْمُكَرَّمَةِ. يَنْتَقِلَ اَلْبَاحِثُ إِلَى اَلْمَوْضُوعِ اَلرَّئِيسِيِّ لِلدِّرَاسَةِ وَالْمُتَمَثِّلِ فِي تَحْلِيلِ وَسَبْرِ غَوْرِ بَقِيَّةِ قَصِيدَةِ "أُمِّ اَلْقُرَى" لِلشَّاعِرِ اَلسُّعُودِيِّ خَالِدْ اَلْفَيْصَلْ. تُسْتَخْدَم اَلدِّرَاسَةُ نَهْجًا تَحْلِيلِيًّا نَقْدِيًّا مَعَ اَلتَّرْكِيزِ عَلَى مَوْضُوعِ اَلْوَطَنِ كَمِحْوَرِ اَلدِّرَاسَةِ اَلرَّئِيسِيِّ، وَاَلَّتِي تَنْتَهِي بِخَاتِمَةٍ مُوجَزَةٍ.
