Abstract
Modern poets of the second Hijri century revolutionized the form and content of poetry, drawing inspiration from urban reality, Shu'ubiyya, and occasionally from revelry and debauchery. This innovation served as a gateway to rebelling against traditional poetic conventions and structures, diverging from the norms of ancient poetry and its traditions. A critical question arises: Did this change extend to the depiction of the camel (naqa) in travel scenes in their poetry?
An examination of various collections from that era reveals that some poets, such as Hammad Ajrad, completely abandoned the mention of the camel. Others minimized its use or redefined its symbolic role, contrasting with older traditions. For instance, some poets portrayed the camel as an omen of misfortune, such as Abu Shi's, or used it as a source of satire for Shu'ubiyya poets like Abu Nuwas. Some even replaced it with descriptions of ships (harraqa) or made comparisons between ships and camels, as seen in the poetry of Bashar bin Burd. However, some imitators continued to skillfully employ the camel in their praise or elegies, rivaling their pre-Islamic and Umayyad predecessors, such as Marwan bin Abi Hafsa and Ibn Miyadah.
The aim of this research is to compile and analyze these scattered references, enriching Arabic literature by exploring the semantic and symbolic evolution of the camel in poetry, particularly during the transition between the Umayyad and Abbasid periods. It highlights the innovations and rebellions that impacted the form and content of poetry.
