        Ansi Haj is a Lebanese poet, one of the standard bearers of literary modernism and one of the founders of prose poetry in the Arab world. His poetry is distinguished by its automatic writing, the dominance of the space of discontinuity and dreams, and the dominance of the mind. Ansi Haj, especially in the early stages of his poetry, travels in a surrealistic atmosphere, but due to the transformation and revolution that the prose poetry pioneered by him and fellow poets such as Adonis created in the Arabic poetry process, the stylistics and aesthetics of his poetry did not receive much attention and attention from critics. Based on this, this research has tried to examine and criticize the surrealist components and characteristics of his first and most controversial poetry collection, "Len" with the approach of descriptive analysis. The results show that the poet was deeply affected by the surrealist aesthetics and epistemological resources of this school; In such a way that the abundance of rebellious and irrational concepts, contradictory images, unconventional defamiliarizations, breaking of the thread of time and failure of the logic of language in this collection of poems indicate the poet's narration of the world of dreams, which the surrealists call the superior reality. Nizar Qabbani made an important change in the form and content of contemporary Arab poetry, and because of this, the conservatives rebelled against him and attributed various slanders to him. After Jovin, Nizar Qabbani has changed his poetic approach from love to politics, and the question of how successful his poetic art has been in depicting the situation of the failed Arab society, opens another chapter for the exploration of his works in front of the readers of his poetry. In this article, surrealism in the poems of Arab poets is discussed with an emphasis on the love poems of Nizar Qabbani. Manuscript profile
