[ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini mengkaji al-mu'allaqah karya Zuhair Ibn Abi Sulma, sebuahsusunan puisi lirik Arab (syi?r ghinâ`î) dari zaman pra-Islam. Denganmenggunakan pendekatan naratif, penulis membuktikan bahwa bentuk lirikmu'allaqah Zuhair tidak semata bersifat liris, melainkan membawa gagasan naratifmelalui kehadiran struktur kisahan (story structure) yang mengikat setiap larikpuisi ini di dalam satu pengaluran. Penelitian ini menguatkan pandangan Hühn(2004; 2010) bahwa pendekatakan naratif dapat dimanfaatkan untukmenghasilkan interpretasi baru terhadap sajak-sajak lirik lama.
