Abstract
Riffaterre's theory of semiotics analyzes the text by examining all the structural aspects of the poem, including accumulation, descriptive system, hypogram, and structural network. This theory is based on the structure of the poem, the relationship between the signifiers, and reaching the final meaning of the poem. The poem “Unshūdat almaṭar” depicts the suffering soul of the poet in hisexile, and the conditions of Iraqi society. Based on this, the mentioned ode is a suitable text for semiotic analysis. Using the semiotic theory of Michael Riffaterre, this research has discussed the ode" Unshūdat almaṭar" in an analytical-descriptive way. The findings of the research indicate that based on Riffaterre's approach, deeper meanings such as love for the homeland, struggle, hope for change and progress can be taken from the ode "Anshouda Al Matar". The exploratory reading of this ode shows that the poet is trying to express his longing by describing his lover's eyes with romantic words. The heuristic reading of this ode shows that the poet is trying to express his longing by describing his lover's eyes with romantic words But the retroactive reading shows that the poet's beloved is the homeland, and the poet speaks of his love for the homeland in his sojourn and exile and invites his compatriots to fight and stand against tyranny. In this ode, there are four accumulations with four sememes: beloved, nature, rain and sea, and three descriptive systems with the cores of homeland, oppression and hope for change and transformation.
