Abstract

The poem Lam Naftariq Lakinnana Lan Naltaqia Abadan by Mahmoud Darwish is one of the poems that has high aesthetic value and is closely related to the Palestinian conflict, which is currently being widely discussed. Still, many people do not know the meaning of this poem. This study aims to reveal the form and meaning of metaphors in the verses of the poem Lam Naftariq Lakinnan? Lan Naltaq? ?bad?n by Mahmoud Darwish. This study is needed so that readers can understand, appreciate, and conceive the poem's meaning more deeply so that they can explore the best meaning contained in it. This type of research includes descriptive-qualitative by using library techniques to collect data. The results of the analysis of this study indicate that the use of metaphors in the poem is to describe the true meaning intended in the concrete form of the poem which can be grouped into seven parts, they are: notification, hiding, learning, death, longing, disappointment, and emphasis. This analysis highlights the power of metaphor to translate abstract emotions into concrete imagery. The recurring motifs of separation and connection create a complex emotional landscape, where loss and unity coexist, inviting the readers to delve into the intricacies of human experience. Then, this poem is presented in the form of a metaphor to sound more beautiful but seems very deep if the meaning is already known but it is very unfortunate that no one has ever studied this poem. Therefore, this study is very important to contribute to poetry observers so that the message conveyed in this poem can give a deep impression.
