Yahya Samaui is one of the most prominent Arab poets that “symbol” has an outstanding in whose poems. He has applied symbol very consciously and by a particular purpose to express his thought and ideas. He has used different symbols in his poems, mainly: palm, river, rain, night, wind, desert, sun, and moon. The spirit and value of these symbols are driven from their interaction with human beings. The poet has borrowed them from humans’ reality in order to emphasize on the consistency of life, hope and land. The most prominent implication of these natural symbols is applied in the expression of the ideas and homeland attitudes of this poet. The present article aims at inspecting these natural symbols and their implications in Yahya Samavi’s poems on the basis of descriptive-analytic method. We’ve tried to examine the viewpoint and the ideas of the poet too. Symbols in Samavi's poetry is an alternative for the real things in his thought and opinions and is also an attempt towards passing unpleasant situation which did not provide the direct interpretation of his attitudes and viewpoint.
