Displacement in the poetry of Jamal al-Din ibn Ali al-Khulai'i: an analytical study of selected models

Abstract

 This work examines the phenomenon of deviation in the poetry of Jamal al-Din ibn Ali al-Khulai’i, and concludes that deviation is a fundamental element in the doctrinal and emotional expression in al-Khulai’i’s poetry, making it a rich material for analysis. A man who knew the truth and followed it, and saw falsehood and rejected it. His loyalty and belief were not based on imitation or following, but rather came from insight and contemplation, and an abundance of blessings from the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) overwhelmed and engulfed him. So he took off the cloak of hatred and put on the garment of pride and allegiance, and to dedicate himself and his literature to raising the word of God in the good and pure family (peace be upon them), and to recite the most beautiful poems about his savior and our savior, and to be among the notables of Hilla in knowledge, jurisprudence and literature.
