Abstract

This research examines the poem with a semiotic approach and based on Pierre Giraud's theory of aesthetic codes. Its main goal is to discover the code system governing poetry and explain the representation of concepts such as national identity, betrayal of the homeland, and the reconstruction of collective relations. The research method of the article is descriptive-analytical and was carried out by carefully analyzing the text of the poem and its adaptation to Giraud's code theory. The semiotic analysis of the poem shows that Danqol's poem cannot be considered simply a literary work, but rather a reflection of the sufferings, desires, and romantic social ideals in contemporary Arab poetry. By artistically combining linguistic and symbolic elements, the poet leads the audience to think about individual and collective responsibility towards the homeland and history. In addition to its literary value, this poem is considered a telling document of the identity crisis and national concerns in the contemporary Arab world. The results of the research show that Danqol, by utilizing linguistic codes, semantic contrasts (such as death/life, betrayal/loyalty), and symbolic archetypes (mother,, wise old man), presents a multilayered picture of the social and psychological situation of Egypt after the defeat of 1967
