With weeping, wailing and the anguish of parting, the poet sings his poem when he laments a certain person, mentioning his good qualities and his good deeds. He is praising the dead. This is the lamentation that was known in Arabic literature, and it had its own motives such as obtaining personal, financial or social benefits.The purpose of lamentation in the pre-Islamic era was included within a single poem, and later it separated and became independent, and its themes changed in the Islamic era, as Islam refined the whole life and poetry was one of them.After the painful battle of Tuff, the Islamic nation was struck by astonishment, bewilderment, and remorse.  To shed the blood of purity from the Ahl al-Bayt, so they expressed their anger through armed revolutions such as the Revolution of Al-Tawabin and the Revolution of Al-Mukhtar and others, and the poets resisted mourning Hussein, peace be upon him, and rousing the nation to take his revenge.  Like the courage of Hussein and his companions, the ferocity of the battle, patience in the face of tribulation and thirst, and the captivity of Hussein’s families and his orphans.The research dealt with the art of Al-Husseini’s lamentation between the two poets (Haider Al-Hilli and Saleh Al-Kawaz) through a comparative study between the “Annals and Al-Alawiyat” in which hearts cried before eyes, with an introduction that clarified the reasons for choosing the topic, and in three chapters: the first of which dealt with the lives of the two poets, and the second was in lamentation and its development through  Literary eras and its trends, and the third is a balancing study in their Al-Husseini lament in demand, intertextuality, poetic image and themes, and the research reached results, the most important of which are: The Husseini lament dealt with doctrinal concepts such as the caliphate and the imamate, as it contained the words “guardian” and “guardian” and other expressions indicating that, as the two poets tended to the required construction methods because of their impact on the Husseini discourse and a manifestation of emotions and feelings.  His religious inheritance, his historical knowledge, and his knowledge of hadith and biography, so intertextuality had luminous episodes of his poems in which he lamented Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him), in contrast to the poems of Sayyid Haider al-Hilli in which the intertextuality was less than what Sheikh al-Kawaz had;  Perhaps he relied on the Qur’anic heritage more than the historical, and the two poets employed poetic images to express the misfortune of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), and to remind the reader of that painful calamity.  They varied and came to describe the fierce battle, the courage, patience and steadfastness of al-Hussein, and he mentioned the captivity of the Prophet’s families, the hatred and oppression of the Umayyads, and the injustices of the family of Muhammad who killed, poisoned, displaced and enslaved his offspring and abused them.
