This study was aimed to show that the purpose of Hijāʾ (invective, lampoon, satire poetry) was directly linked to war.
invective poetry of War is one of the main types or genres of Classical Arabic poetry, but the studies did not explain the reason for the war' s continuity that was behind the development of the satire verse.
We relied on Pierre Clastres in explaining this phenomenon in the context of his work on war within the tribal framework. Pierre Clastres' theory of Stateless society provides an explanation for the sustainability of war, which is the same reason that scrutinizes the function of satire and its development.
We reached a number of results, the most important of which is: The satirical poem is not merely a matter of techniques and rhetoric, but rather an act of speech: The issue of satire and its development becomes a conceptual structure of any intentional act. rather than stylistic effects. Techniques and meanings are all associated with the performed illocutionary act. This explanation is necessary to understand why the need for it increased in pre-Islamic society and the decreased need for it in later eras.
