        Irony is a figure of speech which refers to the expression of the meaning by using a language which signifies the opposite. Irony is used to express a prominent meaning and to signify a special signified, and it results in highlighting a specific part of the discourse. This figure of speech expresses the meaning implicitly through satire, metonymy, praising and blaming and contributes to the rhetoricity of the text. This research using a descriptive analytic approach aims at explaining the status of irony in Bayazid Bastami's Shathiyat. Bayazid Bastami has controversial Shathiyat rooted in mysticism and ascetisim accompanied by love. In this article, the concepts of irony, satire, and surrealism aspects are defined at first. Then, Shathiyat will be represented in their structural framework. By reflecting on the language in Shathiyat and their symmetries we can understand that wisdom or knowledge is related to surrealism too. Finally, surreal and paradoxical Shathiyat will be illustrated and explained within the principles of Sufism and mysticism. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Surrealism, with all its misgivings and confusion, has thrown so much fire into the lives of literature that it has swept across the East like a devastating slave and has swept all over the world. Sohrab Sepehri, an Iranian poet and painter and naturalist, made his surrealistic inspirations in his poetry during his travels to the East and West, as well as his acquaintance with Eastern mysticism and Western literature schools.

The purpose of this study is to depict the real world in a supernatural language and to reach the supreme truth through mental and spiritual affairs, by using the school of surrealism in this poet's work.

        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
