ABSTRACT Since antiquity, elegy and lamentation have been key themes of poems, but with the passage of time this theme has undergone lots of changes. In Kurdish literature, this is markedly observed, that is, elegy is not only restricted to family members and tribe members, it is rather applied in case of the death of leaders, artists, writers, and strugglers, etc. amongst modern Kurdish poets, Tirejn has specifically paid attention to elegy and lamentation which appear very visibly in his poems. Therefore, we attempted to highlight the creativity done by Tirej in this regard as part of a study entitled ‘Tirej’s Perspective to Elegy Poems’. In this study, descriptive analytical approached is adopted.

Poems of Lamentation of Terez Abstract: In the past, grief and lamentation for the dead were one of the main purposes of poetry. However, with the passage of time, this purpose witnessed great changes as the Kurdish literature witnessed such developments. This means that grief and lamentation moved from the level of grief of relatives and clan to greater goals. The death of leaders, artists, writers, and fighters also became a tool for grief and lamentation in most of the stages of the Kurdish literature, especially in poems. Grief and lamentation for the dead were among the important topics and became the focus of poets' interest, especially in the traditional and modern poems. Many of the Kurdish poets cared about lamentation in the modern era, as they wrote poems of sadness and lamentation for different personalities and events. Terez is among those poets who paid great attention to lamentation, as it is possible to clearly show the direction of this change in his poems, and we tried to know the extent and quality of Terez's interest in the subject of grief and lamentation. Was he able to express it well and meet the required level? To what extent did he care about this topic? For this reason, we have tried in this research entitle (Poems of Lamentation of Terez) to show the innovations and changes that Terez made in this aspect. This research study adopted both the (descriptive and analytical) approaches.
