Nizār Qabbāni,the contemporary Syrian Poet (1923-1998), is known as the poet of woman in the field of poetry and have been mostly criticised from this poin of view. The results indicate that the implication was used only for the purpose of organic unity and the unity of the psychological atmosphere and he also resorted to repetition technique to enhance the rhythmic structure of his poetic texts but the main purpose of intellectual music is creating a kind of invention and innovation. It has also become clear that the absolute rhymes - rhymes connected to soft character- are predominant on the restricted rhymes and it was characterized with the voices (Alif, Vav and Ya) which are the most appropriate sounds for the purpose of description and singing. We studied the rhythmic phenomena on both aspect: the first is what is called external music, where we analyzed scansions and rhymes and we understood that the poet invested the rhythm of the “Kamil” meter, and he have been published many of his technical experiences in this metre because it is one of the most poetic lyric poetry. The music is an essential element of poetry and is one of the most prominent techniques used by poets in the construction of their poems, from here, this research examines this element in the poems of Nizar Qabbani, based on descriptive-analytical method.
The results show that Nizar Qabbani has used different types of deviations in his poetry and there is no "stylistic" deviation in this work, while "semantic" and "phonetic" deviations have been used with a high frequency.
Through an analytic-descriptive method, different types of deviation have been analyzed in present essay on the basis of Leech's theory in the poems of the Syrian well-known contemporary poet, Nizar Qabbani, published in his work "Kitab al-hubb" (Book of Love). He has distinguished eight different types of deviation in a literary work. Geoffrey Neil Leech (1936-2114), the English linguist, believes that de-familiarization in literary language is put in to effect in two ways of "foregrounding" and "deviation". Its usage, as an expressional technique (or somehow trick) can lead speech in to dynamicity and makes the audience to pay more attention to the text. This is an effective method to foreground matters in a literary work that can be easily defined as departure from normal and standard language.
Deviation is one of the techniques Russian formalists discuss in their criticism theories.
