Poetic Stories in Ilia Abu Mazi’s Poetic Works     Sadeq Fathi Dehkordi *   Shlyr Fathi **   Abstract     Poetic story is a kind of art firmly connected to poetry and story and is a sign of restoration in Arabic poetry furthermore, it is an artistic field for presenting poets' ability in putting poetry and tale together. This genre has included many current poetic works. Abu-Mazi as a poet with sublime human tendencies and like many other Mahjar (migration) poets has poetic stories with humanistic motifs, but the span of his art is wider, so it contains many themes like history, legend, teaching and preaching, society, sentiment, conscience, fatherland and nation. Since he is a social poet, in his poetic stories he finally gets to human and his noble life. Among themes of preaching he goes through human borders and sings the anthem of sublime life. We can see vividly the honesty of his soul which tries to transfer a collection of social thoughts to the audience, some of which are his personal experience but some are not. These thoughts have dominated his work and are inserted into social subjects. Teaching as well as preaching is another theme with which the poet is discovering an instrument to bring him near the love of all creatures. Meanwhile, he is not inattentive toward themes regarding nation and fatherland and narrates some tales which are impressed with homelessness and separation from Lebanon. Explicitly he ends most of his themes with stories and wise sayings which are concerned with human and his society and teach human patience, cooperation, correlation, and help and encourage him to continue his life.     Key words : Ilia Abu-Mazi, Poetical Story, Poetical Work  * Assistant Professor, Department of Arabic Language and Literature, Tehran University .   E-mai l: Fathi.
