Manifestation of Afghanistan resistance in the works of Jabber Qumaiha: A Case study of "I sing about Afghan's jihad" divan
In addition to its patriotic function, the mission of resistance poems is international. Because this kind of poem utilizes all its literary and technical capacities to arouse public interest, as well as bring a lawsuit against unwelcome developments in political and social fields of different nations. Throughout history, Afghanistan has terribly suffered from unjustified presence of foreign enemies as well as its arbitrary government. However, the presence of such colonialists as Russia and Britain in Afghanistan, as well as the tyranny of the local government have finally been ended with Afghans' victory in different battlefields. Their resistance against cruelty has demonstrated their high capacity to fight against colonialism to the extent that poets from other countries have composed poems in praise of that public movement on the theme of Afghanistan resistance. A case in point is attempts of Jaber Qumaiha, a contemporary Egyptian poet, to show different aspects of resistance in Afghanistan in his collected poems entitled "I sing about Afghan's jihad". This analytical-descriptive research aimed at alluding technical themes of resistance in the work of Jaber Qumaiha. The results of the present research suggest that the poet has introduced the conception of sacrifice in themes of piety and monotheism as the key factors to Afghan's victory in order to express motif of Afghanistan resistance; moreover, Afghan children susceptibility to the war has also been emphasized in order to arouse the sense of social accountability. With regard to the technical aspect, the poet has emulated religious figures, particularly the Islamic Prophet. But on the other hand, by voicing the same opinion, as well as knowingly adopting Quranic interpretations, the poet has set the stage to convey the message of resistance and show its relation with patriotic issues.
