A comparative study of the prison`s poetry of Ali bin Jahm and Ibn-e-Zaydun
Abstract
Ibn-e-Zaydun was a renowned Andalusian poet. He served as Courtier
Poet of Abu al-Hazm Ibn-e-Jahoor, a king of Cordoba, Andalusia in
Maluk al-Tawaif era.
Ibn-e-Zaydun succeeded in his private life by leaps and bounds which
resulted in creating differences between King Ibn-e-Jahoor and Ibn-eZaydoon. He was consequently imprisoned by Ibn-e- Jahoor.
While in prison, Ibn-e-Zaydun wrote him many poems having
panegyrics so that the King may forgive him and release him from the
prison.
Ali bin Jahm was a well-known poet of Abbasid Caliphate era. He was
imprisoned by Abbasid Caliph, Al-Mutawakkil Billah. While in prison,
he also wrote many panegyrics in the praise of Caliph.
Ibn-e-Zaydun has reproduced literal and poetical ideas of Ali bin
Jahm’s prison poetry in his own poetry which confirms that Ibn-eZaydun was highly inspired from his prison`s poetry.
The current paper describes the impact and reflection of Ali bin Jahm`s
prison poetry in the prison`s poetry of Ibn-e- Zaydun.
