The Andalusian Muwashshahs and Kharjas
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 56, Issue 1
Abstract
The Qasidah was the unique form of classical Arabic poetry. However, with the expansion of the Islamic state by the conquests, some new poetry styles have emerged under the influence of neighboring cultures and social conditions in the far corners of the Arabian Peninsula. One of them is al muwashshah which appeared in Spain called Andalusia by the Muslims. Al muwashshah consists of a common rhyme called Qufl which is repeated throughout the verse and a changing rhyme throughout the poem which is called Dawr. The last qufl is called kharja and it means exit. The kharja has a special place in this poetic form since it has a special dialect that consists of foreign words. The body of al muwashshah is in standard Arabic, and the kharja includes some words from the old Spanish dialects called al A'jamî in Arabic and al Jamiado in modern Spanish. Recently, these parts have attracted the attention of many researchers from the West and East.
