This study examines a daliyya (a poem with end-rhymes in the letter Dāl) by Bashar ibn Burd that praises Caliph al-Mahdi. It explores the poet’s use of allusion and persuasive techniques in addressing the Caliph, as a form of self-protection after two of his close companions were executed for heresy by the Caliph’s order—leaving Bashar in a vulnerable position.
The study also looks at his relationship with political power and reflects on his views of Arabs, his beliefs, and the accusations of heresy against him. It adopts a descriptive and analytical method to trace hidden meanings and rhetorical strategies in the poem. The structure includes an introduction, two main sections, and a conclusion. The first section discusses the rhetorical direction of the poem—both suggestive and persuasive—while the second analyzes the linguistic tools Bashar used to build his persuasive appeal.
The findings suggest that Bashar was not successful in clearly defending himself. Though he attempted to show loyalty to the Caliph and the state, the poem contains indirect criticism beneath the praise, as well as elements of satire and implied warning. These features reflect a deeper alignment with his Persian roots and hint at a conflicted stance toward Arab and Islamic identity.
