Symbols of Divine Love in Al-Ja'bari's Diwan

Abstract

The Sufi poet takes the symbol as a basic criterion in his poetry

so that he can express his spiritual perceptions, meanings, scenes,

and psychological feelings. Therefore, this study focused on the

presence of the symbols of divine love in Al-Jabari’s Diwan, which

is characterized by a special poetic language, deep in symbolism and

ambiguity. And analyze these symbols in his poetry, which are: the

symbol of the woman, the symbol of Khumri, and the symbol of

nature, and the statement of its hidden esoteric implications in order

to reach the poet's intention.
