It reveals the details of the Egyptian society in the Mamluki era through the poetry of Ibn Daniyal. Ibn Daniyal Al-Mawsili is considered among the most popular and most famous poets of the first Mamluki era. He was the poet of the society, and dedicated his poetry to his society and its characteristics, the different events that took place as well as the sufferings that it had. The poet had shaped his style of expression and mixed it with his vivacious soul, and although the society had been extensively addressed in his poetry, there is no extensive and independent scientific study that addresses the society from all of its different aspects. Therefore, this research came to focus on this aspect and to try to study society in Ibn Daniyal’s poetry, in addition to discussing the poetic characteristics in his poems. The researcher used the Analytical, Descriptive and Aesthetic Approach, and divided the study into an introduction, four chapters and a conclusion. In the first chapter, the researcher addressed the translation of the life of Ibn Daniyal Al-Mawsili Al-Kahhal, while in the second chapter he talked about the poet’s suffering in particular and the society in general.

In the fourth chapter, the researcher focused on discussing the structure of the poem, the poet’s language, methods, artistic styles and the artistic imagery in his poetry.
