This research is based on an introduction, four chapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter deals with the linguistic and technical meaning of the term “vagrancy”, and the second chapter deals with the origin of this term, its synonyms, meanings, and connotations. As for the third chapter, it includes the meanings and reasons for the term “vagrancy” in the four eras: pre-Islamic, Islamic, Umayyad, and Abbasid, and how this term differs from one era to another according to economic, social, and political changes, in addition to the use of poets in the modern era, those vagabonds, as symbols of revolution and rebellion against injustice and tyranny, which prevails in the world at all times and places. The conclusion, the research showed that the reasons that led to the existence of vagabondage in ancient times, from poverty, injustice, oppression, tyranny, and deprivation, are the same as what the oppressed and subjugated Arab peoples suffer today, and how much we need today the chivalry and generosity of yesterday’s vagabonds such as “Urwa bin al-Ward” and “Tabat Sharran” to achieve social justice, and revolt against injustice and tyranny for the sake of freedom and a dignified life.
