Abstract

Emotional intelligence and addressing it is one of the most central and at the same time most complex ways to reach the depth of meanings in literary writing. Daniel Goleman, the contemporary American psychologist, is among the experts who has an accurate and comprehensive view of emotional intelligence. With his approach, one can gain a complete understanding of the psychological creation of a literary work, leading to a proper comprehension of the inherent meaning in a text. In his theory, emotional intelligence has four components: self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness or empathy abilities, and self-motivation. In the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method and a psychological approach, the dimensions of Daniel Goleman's emotional intelligence in this poem are analyzed to simultaneously grasp the secondary meanings and gain a correct understanding of the poet's mentality towards his beloved. The poem "Balqis" is a complete mirror of the poet's thoughts, ideas, and feelings towards his wife, and the character of Balqis plays a very prominent role in this poem. The research results indicate that the poet, being aware of his emotions and feelings towards his wife, manages himself and indirectly introduces his inner motivation as resistance and vengeance for Balqis's blood and defense of the community of women, and declares his social empathy towards the people of his land. The dimension of self-awareness is one of the most widely used elements in this poem, and the poet, while being self-aware of his emotions
