Abstract   In the mysterious world of language, critical discourse analysis opens a new window to discover the hidden layers of the text. This new approach, beyond examining the linguistic structure and aesthetics, seeks to decipher the relations of power and ideology in the text. Based on this, Norman Fairclough’s theory of critical discourse analysis, which is introduced in three levels of description, interpretation, and explanation, is one of the most efficient methods for examining texts and discovering meaning at the level of text and metatext. Suleiman al-Salman is a powerful Palestinian poet who lives in Syria and wrote an ode titled “Salas al-Dahab” under the influence of traveling to Iran and visiting Imam Reza (a.s.) in praise and praise of Imam Hammam. In a way, this poem reflects the pains of a poet who has always witnessed the sufferings of the Palestinian people following the occupation of his homeland by the Zionist occupation regime. Therefore, his poem is considered a political-social work. The current research is trying to apply Norman Fairclough’s theory of critical discourse analysis to the above-mentioned ode “Salaz al-Dahab” and explore the ideas and discourses hidden in it by relying on the descriptive-analytical method. The results of this research indicate that the poet emphasizes the position and dignity of Imamate and Wilayat in the guidance and prosperity of the Muslim community by using words such as “Al-Imam”, “Al-Wali”, “Al-Reza”, “Nur” at the level of description with an array of repetition. has done At the level of interpretation and considering the situational context of the mentioned ode, including the time and place conditions and the political-social and cultural conditions of the Palestinian and Syrian society, the author aims to create a discourse based on the resistance and stability of the Palestinian and Syrian people. At the level of explanation, the poet has created a critical discourse based on the betrayal of the normalization of relations and the compromise of some Arab rulers with the Zionist occupation regime by stating the most important reason for the martyrdom of the Imam (a.s.) which was the compromise of some community leaders with the oppressive rulers.
