Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The present study aims to analyze and examine the intellectual style of Persian-speaking rubaiyat writers from the eighth century to the contemporary era.

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and library studies. The statistical population in this article is a selection of rubaiyats of the most prominent poets from the eighth century to the contemporary era.

FINDINGS: The research findings indicate that the most important foundations of the thought and thinking of the rubai poets from the eighth century onwards include matters such as counting the spoils, paying attention to wine, philosophical despair, astonishment, tolerance and adaptation, and hope for the forgiveness of sins, all of which are manifestations of tolerance and forgiveness.
