Abstract

This research discusses the issue of modernity in contemporary Persian and Arabic poetry. The researcher chose the Iranian poet Nima Yoshij, who is considered one of the pioneers of modernity in contemporary Iranian poetry, and the Iraqi poet Baland Al-Haidari, who is also one of the pioneers of modernity in contemporary Iraqi poetry.
 Through their poetry, the two poets expressed the themes of modernity that entered the world of poetry and literature, and that are based on modernist concepts with a new and contemporary vision in harmony with their time; The two poets explained their aspirations and hopes, and the hopes and issues of society. The poet is a member of the community who feels his suffering, his concerns and his ambitions and expresses them in the most sincere way. It seems that the poets have benefited from their experiences and their culture of roses in updating the poem in form and content.
