Representation of Resistance in Poetry of Ibn-al-Ghaisarani

Literature has always been the stage of representing sublime concepts of humanity and illustrates most latent scenes of human life. War and resistance have been apparently represented in literature as two most important expressions of human life. Writers and poets have always created beautiful works in this context such as those written after crusades and events of fateful conflicts between Muslims and Christians. Moreover, after the rise of Zangian and liberation of occupied territories, poets and belletrists, as representatives of the society, dedicated their poems to encourage rulers and associate epic feeling and fighting. Ibn- al- Ghaisarani (478- 548 AH) is among brilliant poets of Zangian period who assigned his mission to resistance goals and its pugnaciously approach and to liberate Islamic territories from dominance of crusaders. Influenced by religious thoughts and Islamic beliefs, he caused incitement and promotion of morale of warriors and Islamic leaders. Calling to combat, hope for the future, expressing joy and happiness and history adaptation are considered as the most important elements and components of resistance in his poetry. Present study is to investigate resistance poems of the brilliant poet in resistance area of classic Arabic Literature and to consider most important elements of resistance.
