Abstract

This study examines the poem of Ibn Farkoun Al-Andalusi, which he composed using the Dubet quartet (Dubet) template. He wrote it in response to the request of Prince Yusef the third, Prince of Granada in 811 AH.In the poem, he praised the prince and highlighted his qualities and virtues. The study dealt with the poem from an analytical semiotic perspective, by deciphering it and revealing all its connotations , which lead to the purpose of praise. It also briefly touched upon the poet and his life, the poem and its occasion, and then examined semiotics in the poem, its concepts and different aspects. The study applied the semiotic approach to the components of poetic composition, through its beginning and structure, and the elements it contained, such as symbols, images, intertextuality, rhythm, etc. The conclusion was then linked to the rest of the components of the poem.
