Abstract

This study aims to follow the mechanisms of textual harmony in the poem of the Arab poet Mamdouh Adwan, which is marked with "You have to lean." This poetic text revolved around a central meaning that the poet intended for, and has appeared since the first textual threshold, which is the title, and this meaning is repeated in all parts of the text, where this pivotal focus expands; to weave the threads of a semantic network from which a total structure is formed in which the partial meanings are reduced, which is that the father is the impregnable wall on which the whole family is based. If he is weak, the disease is defeated, and betrayed by the body, which led the poet to demand that he die until he retains his old image, which was an instance of strength and entity.
The study was questioned by the descriptive and analytical approach in its study of this text, and came out with the conclusion that the text was characterized by semantic coherence at the deep level, and all this can only be achieved by the availability of textual harmony tools such as context, purposeful title, background knowledge, repetition, and inference, which are tools that make the reader an effective partner in extracting the elements of the semantic text, by employing these tools while reading the text, and building his semantic harmony.
