Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nizar Tawfiq Qabbani (1923-1998) and Mohammad Taqi Shams Langroudi (1329) are famous poets of contemporary Syrian and Iranian literature. In this article, relying on stylistic similarities, their poetry is analyzed on three linguistic, literary and intellectual levels. The general goal is to determine how two poets have similarities in language, literature and content despite belonging to two different literatures.

METHODOLOGY: This study was done with a library study and in a descriptive and analytical way. The statistical population of the research is Qabbani and Langroudi poems.

FINDINGS: At the linguistic level, Qabbani and Langroudi deviated from the linguistic norms and the form of classical poetry and wrote new and white poetry. According to the era of his poetry, Qabbani turned to new poetry later, but Langroudi is the representative poet of prose poetry after the Islamic Revolution. Phonology, puns and repetition of words in their inner music have stylistic characteristics that are more in both repetitions of words. At the lexical level, they have used everyday and common words of the time. Word formation and new combinations, being interested in using some words related to the life around them is the stylistic feature of both of them. At the syntactic level, the integration of classical and colloquial language, tendency towards popular language, bringing the language of poetry closer to prose, shorthand and the use of new combinations are common. At the literary level, their similarity is in the innovation of elements of classical imagination, simplicity of images and depiction of elements around them. This similarity has many similes, metaphors, symbols and hints. Their common concern at the intellectual level is alignment with the reality of society, contemporary human problems, and social and political criticism. The romanticist look at the issue of love, the reflection of the important issues of the society, such as the issue of Palestine and Quds in Qabbani"s poetry, the Islamic revolution and the imposed war in Langroudi"s poetry, are their similarities, and their difference is the attention to personal emotions and the problems of their own society, which can be seen in these contents.

CONCLUSION: What brings these two poets together with different languages ​​is their approach to language, literature, form and thought. Both of them turned to poetry with a fresh attitude and achieved innovation by crossing the tradition of classical poetry. They have a new language, a new imagination and a content in line with the reality of the contemporary society, suitable for the spiritual emotions of the contemporary man.
