Abstract

The content of Hassan’s Islamic poetries in comparison to his pre-Islamic works has altered both in terms of quality and quantity. In some of his Islamic poetries new concepts and interpretations could be seen whereas in pre-Islamic ones such thing is not encountered. Hassan also put away themes such as anacreontic verses and romantic odes and instead defended Islam, the Prophet and his disciples. In eulogy and elegy he applied his previous pattern of the pre-Islamic era and once again he repeated his formerly themes and concepts. His eulogies and elegies in Islamic period outnumber the pre- Islamic ones this in turn illustrates the poet’s reluctance towards the two literary devices in the Islamic era
