Abstract

Abstract: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating love and its manifestations in Nizar Qabbani's love poems. The research method was analytical-descriptive and the tool for collecting information in this research was divans, articles and library resources available in the field of the research topic. Two basic questions were raised in this research. In response to the first question, it was stated that Nizar Qabbani has devoted a large volume of his poems to love, and more than anything else, love is the subject of Nizar Qabbani's poems. And his romances reflect all his mental and emotional aspects. Love is all the wealth of a poet, beyond nationality, language, religion and sociological attitudes, and Nizar Qabbani is also right about this. For him, life with love is a long and exciting journey that forces him to fight with nothingness, a journey that has no end. In response to the second question, the manifestations of love in Nizar Qabbani's romantic poems were examined and stated that the manifestations of love are all the moments, events, points of view, sayings, and romantic behaviors in which love is expressed through symbolic expression. The carrier of all these romances is Nizar's poetry, which tells the clear and transparent manifestations of love. By carefully examining Nizar Qabbani's poems, it can be seen that the symbol of love in his poetic poems is "wife", "mother", "mistress", "wife" and "homeland".
