Abstract
Diverse figurers in religious-mythical culture have a very valuable and important status among poets. In fact, poets have interacted with such figures in various ways because they are technical references for fertilizing and enriching with modern themes, and fill qasidas with artistic, figurative, and literary themes. Emirati poet Muhammed Abdullah al-Bariki is one of the contemporary poets who has used such figures extensively to foster the secondary implications (figurative meanings) and themes relevant to contemporary cultural figures related to poet's era. The present study aims to examine cultural, religious, and historical characters in the of al-Beriki’s poetry, based on a descriptive-analytical basis for decoding those figures and revealing their secondary meanings and implications. These figures are in many cases identical to the poet's personality, reflecting the poet's own experiences. The poet's use of these figures is sometimes technical and their implications sometimes superficial to the use of secondary meanings relevant to the poet’s era.
