Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sufism and mysticism, which has long been prominent in Iranian poetic and prose literature, can also be seen in the poetry of poets of the literary return period. This era can, in addition to introducing anonymous works, reflect and explain the manifestation of mysticism and Sufism in this period. This article intends to study the mystical themes in this work by introducing the manuscript of the divan of "Abdolrahim Hazin Shervani" and expressing the author"s condition and its contents.

METHODOLOGY: The present article has been written using the library method and based on the lithographic version of the poet"s divan, which is the most complete and regular copy available in the library of the Documents Organization and the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

FINDINGS: Mirza Abdolrahim Shirvani alias Hazin, a powerful poet of the 11th century AH, is from the Vesal Shirazi family and has been influenced by Mohammad Fuzuli, Amir Alishir Navai and Hafez in terms of thoughts and poetic style. Although he has shown proficiency in various forms of poetry such as quatrains and Masnavi, and he has three Masnavi with the names of Safa al-Qulub, Hedayatnameh and the content of Zabihnameh, he has not succeeded in composing lyric poems.

CONCLUSION: Shirvani"s sad poems are more introverted, mystical and romantic in terms of thinking, and sometimes they advise the audience. In mystical themes and advice, he is more influenced by Hafez and in romantic themes, he is influenced by Sa’adi. One of the most important and prominent mystical subjects in Shervani"s sad divan is the idea of ​​monotheism. According to him, monotheism is an infinite world that the mystic is required to enter this infinite world. Hazin, like other poets, has confronted reason and love and is opposed to the central reason. He is a religious poet whose life is imbued with love for the Prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt, and this is proven by a brief look at the court. The mystical terms of Hafez"s period can be seen in most of his poems, but without deep mystical use and only a brief reference to the terms, and for this reason, he cannot be considered a mystical poet just by mentioning these mystical terms. The unity of existence and monotheistic thought is the most important and frequent mystical thought in the sad intellectual system.
