Type: article
Abstract: Objective: This research examines the concept of chivalry in Pre-Islamic poetry, where physical courage is harmonized with noble morals. It explores how chivalry extends beyond martial prowess to encompass Arab virtues such as generosity, bravery, protecting women and neighbors, and striving for self-realization apart from conflicts. Theoretical Framework: The study investigates the theme of exile and alienation in the poetry of warrior poets. It focuses on how these poets expressed humane and noble values, reflecting their deep aspirations and the collective ideals of Arab society at the time. Method: The research employs a poetic and linguistic analysis approach to evaluate the impact of exile on poetic expression. The study delves into the vibrant and dynamic language of the poets, highlighting their profound connection to the land and their cultural identity. Results and Discussion: The findings underscore the renown of a group of warriors who displayed extraordinary bravery in battles. Each tribe had knights skilled in horse riding and combat, symbolizing the influence of alienation on their character and emotions. This is vividly portrayed in the poetic meanings and themes explored in the study. Research Implications: The research enhances understanding of how Pre-Islamic poetry served as a medium to preserve values and articulate individual and societal struggles. It bridges the concepts of chivalry and alienation, offering insights into how cultural identity was conveyed through poetic expression. Originality/Value: This study provides a unique perspective on the synthesis of chivalry, alienation, and poetic language in Pre-Islamic Arabia. By analyzing the language and themes of warrior poets, it contributes to the broader understanding of Arab literary and cultural heritage.
