Abstract

Introduction: ILIA ABU MADHi (1890-1975) is one of the outstanding Arab poets of the twentieth century. He was born in Lebanon. When he was eleven years old, he was forced to leave school to immigrate to Egypt to find a job. However, he continued his studies at night. He published his first poem when he was 17. At that time great reformists such as Seyed Jamal al-Din Asadabadi, Mohammad Abddoh, and Rashid Redha had contributed to the intellectual atmosphere of Egypt opening new horizons for Arab thinkers. Abu Madhi focused his attention on social and political happenings of the time. He went back to Lebanon to help his country but he was so disappointed by the extent of ignorance and corruption that he went to America where he lived to the end of his life. He established a socio-political journal in Arabic called al-Sameer.Abu Madhi and his friend devised new techniques and novel themes and poetic styles. He is considered as one of the founders of "mahjar literature." In his poetry the influence of Khayyam and Abu al-Ala Ma'arri can be seen. His works Diwan Abi Madhi, Al-Jadavil, al-Khama'il, and Tabar wa Torab were published in America.This is a thematic study of Abu Madhi's poetry. Three themes of LOVE, HOMELAND and PHILOSOPHY OF EXISTENCE are discussed in his poetry.Discussion: Abu Madhi is a true LOVEr of beauty and he finds this beauty in women. Carpe Diem is the theme of most of his LOVE poems. Like Khayyam he believes that wine and mistress are here today while nobody knows where they might be tomorrow.Abu Madhi's views regarding HOMELAND are not limited to the geographical boundaries of Lebanon. He regards human beings highly, especially the people of the east. He considers the east as his HOMELAND. He believes ignorance is the main reason for the problems of the eastern people. According to Abu Madhi technology should be used to overcome backwardness; however, in one of his odes he warns the east from following the west blindly. Though he has paid attention to social and political problems of his HOMELAND, the first thing he describes about Lebanon is its magical beauty. Conclusion: Abu Madhi presents pain and suffering of human beings in order to find answers for man's anxieties and worries. He believes that one way of overcoming sadness is embracing happiness of the moment. His poetry is framed within the triangle of LOVE, HOMELAND and PHILOSOPHY OF EXISTENCE. In his lyrics he is romantic while his social and philosophical poetry has affinities with symbolism.
