Discourse means to highlight the hidden motives that are wrapped in words and flowery language just to intensify and enhance the effect of the words. In the same way poets write poetry in order to have some motive behind it. The purpose of this paper is to spotlight the hidden meaning of the poem "Balqees" in front of the readers to make it expressible. We all speak something having a motive behind our talk. Discourse is research methodology to find out the truths or purposes behind the spoken or written words. I have chosen this poem because it expresses the cruel reality of life and this world. This paper analyzes the language of the poem “Balqees”.The study is grounded in critical discourse analysis that 'text within contexts'. The poem is open to diverse interpretations.
