Abstract
This study discusses the influence of the Qur'an on the formulation of titles in Saudi poetry, whether it be the title of a diwan or qa.ida. It also discusses how the title indicates the contents of the diwan or qa.ida, and its relationship with the words and contents of the Qur'anic ayas. In addition this study analyses the relations between two contexts: that of the individual aya and 'group' of ayas within the Qur'anic discourse, and that of the underlying context of the qa.ida or diwan creation, in order to arrive at the relationship that connects title and qa.ida on the one hand, and qa.ida and aya(s), and their context, on the other.
