Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Shah Da’ei Shirazi is one of the mystical poets of the ninth century AH who has left many works of poetry and prose. One of his poems is "Set Shah Shah Da’ei " and Masnavi "Chahar Chaman" is the fourth poem of Set. The purpose of this research is to analyze the style and content of Masnavi Chahar Chaman from three perspectives: intellectual, linguistic and literary.

METHODOLOGY: This article is based on library studies and has been done in a descriptive-analytical manner.

FINDINGS: Shah Da’ei is one of the propagandists of Ibn Arabi"s idea of ​​existential unity. As in Masnavi Chahar Chaman, the influence of the thoughts of Ibn Arabi and Attar is evident. Also, the ontological thoughts of Shah Da’ei in the frequency of words, terms and content show the influence of this mystic poet from Ibn Arabi. In seven valleys of conduct and the issue of unity, the existence of Attar"s influence can also be seen in this Masnavi.

CONCLUSION: The achievements of the research show the initiative and independence of Shah Da’ei in the artistic, literary and content structure. In such a way that this mystic poet has been able to start a new path in mysticism with his imagination. Although in Masnavi Chahar Chaman, errors are seen in terms of verbal and content novelty, but in the intellectual and content aspects of this work, innovations are seen
