An Analysis of the Macrostructure of Bidel Dehlavi's Qasidas Based on the Yarmohammadi Model
Mohammad Mir (Author in Charge)
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Persian literature during the Indian Style period underwent significant transformations in form and content, with Bedil Dehlavi, as a prominent poet, enriching his poetry with philosophical and mystical themes. Despite stylistics studies, a systematic analysis of the macrostructure of Bedil"s qasidas has been underexplored. This study aimed to examine the alignment of the macrostructure of Bedil"s qasidas with the Yar-Mohammadi model (1995) to analyze their internal coherence while contributing to the richness of modernist poetic criticism.
METHODOLOGY: This study employed content analysis and a real-language corpus approach. The data consisted of six selected qasidas (476 verses) from the second volume of Bedil"s Divan, chosen randomly to serve as a reliable representation of his works. The analysis was based on the Yar-Mohammadi model, identifying primary constructs (description, advice, reasoning) and secondary constructs, while examining the discursive structure of each verse. Data were collected through documentary and library methods.
FINDINGS: The results indicated that the description construct, with a frequency of 62%, forms the core of the qasidas, representing objective and symbolic realities through innovative imagery. The advice construct invites readers to mystical reflection, while the reasoning construct provides philosophical arguments. Secondary constructs, including complaint and lament (criticism of corruption), wonder and ambiguity (existential ambiguity) , lesson and admonition (learning from impermanence), desire and longing (aspiration for divine proximity) , request (moral appeal), and courage (resilience against hardships), further enhance the structural richness of the qasidas and align with Bedil"s Indian Style characteristics.
CONCLUSION: The analysis of the macrostructure of Bedil"s qasidas using the Yar-Mohammadi model (1995) revealed that the description construct serves as the discursive axis of these works, guiding readers toward mystical certainty alongside the advice and reasoning constructs. This study, by providing a systematic framework for analyzing qasidas, opens new horizons for interdisciplinary literary criticism and demonstrates that Bedil"s qasidas, with their dynamic discursive structure, bridge traditional mysticism and modern literary critique.
