%X Surrounding factors, both the internal and external, always have a significant impact on a literary work. The most considerable external factor on literary works is the author himself, especially if he/she experiences a physical disorder with psychological implications. Such conditions can certainly give characteristics to the literary work. Al-Ma‘arri, who since his childhood suffered blindness, grew up to be a pessimistic person, always feeling isolated. This sadness led to deep contemplation of life, expressed in the poem "al-Marsiyyah" (Lamentations). This study aims to answer the question of what is the effect of al-Ma‘arri's disability on his thoughts contained in the poem? This study uses the expressive theory of literature that views literature as an expression of the inner world of the author. From this it can be seen that the disability carried by al-Ma‘arri has made him a pessimistic person, influencing his thoughts and views on life. This research found some philosophical ideas of al-Ma‘arri, such as the concepts of life and death, joy and sorrow, and the treatment of the universe.
