In classical Arabic literature, language serves a dual function, as a medium of aesthetic expression and as a tool for voicing emotion, ideology, and social criticism against the injustices of power, as exemplified in the works of Abu al-Ṭayyib al-Mutanabbī (915–965 CE). This study explores the representation of affective meaning in Al-Mutanabbi’s poems as a form of social critique toward the conditions of society and authority in the 10th century. Geoffrey Leech’s (1981) semantic theory is applied to reveal the emotional and ideological dimensions of his works. Data were collected through documentation and library research, then analysed through identification, classification, and interpretation within the socio-political context. The findings indicate that affective meaning plays a crucial role in conveying the poet’s emotions, such as disappointment, as a subtle medium of criticism.
