Abstract
Getting to know thinkers and poets who are the intellectual resources of a nation is inevitable. Among these great poets could be called Badreddin Helali Joghataee Estarabadi,the famous poet of late Timurid era. He is one of the Persian sonneteers of late 9th and early 10th centuries A.H. He belongs to the Araqi (Voghou) school of Timurid era.His works include: 1.Divan of Poetry, itself including odes, moghataat, and quatrains 2.Mathnavi of Shah vaGeda(the King and the Beggar), 3.Mathnavi of Sefat_ol_Asheghin, 4.Mathnavi of Leili and Majnoon. In his sonnets,Helali has been influenced by Hafiz and Amir khosrowDehlavi. He has composed his Mathnavi of Shah vaGeda in the same meter as Nizami’s Haft Peykar, Sefat_ol_Asheghinin the meter of Khosrow and Shirin, and his Leili and Majnoon in the meter of Nizami’sLeili and MAjnoon.This study is a documentary-library research which intends to investigate the reasons for Helalie ̓s popularity with regard to some stylistic features of his sonnets. Among these reasons one can point to his independence from the court, his simple and nearly colloquial language, his liberalism, and his imitation of great poets.
