In pre-Islamic Arabia, women often lamented the loss of brave tribal members, and poets composed verses to honor the deceased. This tradition transitioned into Islamic literature, where the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) at Karbala became a central theme.The Urdu marsiya, particularly in the works of Mir Anees and Mirza Dabeer, exhibits significant Arabic influences in its structure, themes, and linguistic elements. Arabic rijs (war poetry) and Quranic verses are frequently woven into their compositions, enhancing both the rhetorical depth and religious significance of their poetry. Their marsiyas integrate Arabic vocabulary, idioms, and literary devices, reflecting the grandeur of Arabic poetry while maintaining a uniquely South Asian expression.This study explores how Anees and Dabeer adapted Arabic poetic conventions, incorporating Quranic allusions, Hadith references, and classical Arabic imagery to elevate the Urdu marsiya. Their works transformed marsiya from a simple elegy into a sophisticated literary form, preserving its emotional intensity while enriching Urdu literature with Arabic stylistic elements.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"> </p>2025-07-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 JARhttps://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jar/article/view/2981الأساليب البديعية فى شعر حافظ إبراهيم2025-07-11T08:52:53+00:00Hafiz Abdul Rehmanabdul.majeed@aiou.edu.pkDr. Abdul Raofabdul.majeed@aiou.edu.pk<p>In this article, we mentioned the exquisite style of Hafiz Ibrahim. Hafiz was one of the greatest poets and writers of the modern era in the land of Egypt. He spent his entire life in jihad against oppressive forces and was the voice of the oppressed. SO, Hafiz used the colloquial language to make his speech effective. He also used the methods of exquisite science. So that the listener does not get bored, in this article I have embodied these methods (quotation, interview, inlay...) as an example.</p> <p>Hafiz Ibrahim's style is characterized by simplicity and depth at the same time, as he uses language directly and effectively to convey feelings and ideas. His excellence is evident in the choice of words and their consistency with the structure of the poem, which makes his poems easy to understand and comprehend for the reader, and at the same time instill depth and Meditation.</p> <p>His style varies between sentimentality, symbolism, and similes, which gives his poems a unique and attractive character that entertains the reader and stimulates contemplation and thought. Hafiz Ibrahim used poetic images brilliantly, as he embodied scenes and situations in a way that stimulates the imagination and stimulates emotions. He used poetic structures in an elaborate manner, and this appears through the diversity of the rhyme of the verses and the smooth and harmonious interweaving of ideas.</p> <p>In short, Hafiz Ibrahim’s style in his poetry is considered exquisite and beautiful, mixing art, aesthetics, and philosophical depth, which made him the focus of attention of readers and lovers of Arabic poetry throughout the ages.</p> <p>KEYWORDS: </p>2025-07-11T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 JARhttps://ojs.aiou.edu.pk/index.php/jar/article/view/2980البعد الاجتماعي والوجودي بين روايتي البؤساء لفيكتور هوجو واللص والكلاب لنجيب محفوظ 2025-07-11T08:49:16+00:00Rula Muhammed Raji Zughoulabdul.majeed@aiou.edu.pkSumaia Fadl Muhammad Abu Shawishabdul.majeed@aiou.edu.pkProf. Judy Faris Fendi Bataynehabdul.majeed@aiou.edu.pk<p>The novel is a mirror that reflects the social and existential reality of different eras. Through it, literature can address major human issues such as poverty, injustice, marginalization, and the struggle between good and evil. In this context, two of the most prominent novels written in French and Arabic literature stand out: Les Misérables (1862) by the French novelist Victor Hugo and The Thief and the Dogs (1961) by the Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz. In these novels, a critical vision of society and a profound interest in the existential dimension intersect</p> <p> </p> <p>Les Misérables addresses the issue of poverty and class injustice in nineteenth-century French society, focusing on the character of Jean Valjean, who represents a suffering man seeking moral redemption. Meanwhile, The Thief and the Dogs reflects the tragedy of the Arab people after the July Revolution in Egypt, through the character of Saeed Mahran, who embodies anger, betrayal, and the search for justice in a turbulent reality.The research deals with an analytical comparison between the two novels in terms of depicting the social dimension, raising existential issues, and highlighting the differences and similarities in the writers’ treatment of these issues, under different historical and cultural circumstances, which reveals the unity of the human experience despite the difference in time and placeThe study adopted the comparative analytical approach, relying on the social approach in critical studies as the most appropriate approach for this study.
