Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The 7th century has always been an important period due to the devastating attack of the Moghols and the destruction of many scientific and cultural centers and the flight of many scientific, cultural and literary elites to other countries and the domination of foreigners over the destinies of the Iranian nation. One of the topics that need to be addressed in this era is the topic of understanding the evolution of the Persian language and literature and the poets of this period. Jalaluddin Atighi of Tabrizi (741 A.H.) is among these outstanding and lesser known poets who was a contemporary of Hafez Shirazi. This research has examined the layered stylistics of the book "Majales" by Jalaluddin Atighi Tabrizi.

METHODOLOGY: This research was carried out using a descriptive-analytical method. The studied source is the correction of this work by Saeed Karimi (2012) in the publication of written heritage.

FINDINGS: The stylistic coordinates of ancient poetry are the same as the coordinates of the Iraqi style in terms of language, thought and literature. The abundance of Qur"anic allusions and quotations, Arabic words, combinations and proverbs, the height of the lover"s status and base, the excess of the love of the lover towards the beloved, the expression of asceticism and Sufi terms, the sarcastic references to ascetics and Sufis, the metaphorical use of the terms tavern, wine, drunkenness, etc., to express mystical thoughts are among the features of the Iraqi style that are present in his gatherings.

CONCLUSION: From a linguistic point of view, the language of Majales is adorned with Turkish and Mogholi words and adorned with rare Persian and Arabic words and combinations. Ancient Arabic poems show that he had sufficient mastery of Arabic language and literature. The creation of many, wonderful and artistic similes is the most important and main feature of the rhetorical layer in this work. Atighi has a mastery and special skill in connecting mystical, religious and romantic elements using creative similes. In the ideological layer of the work, subtle and romantic mystical concepts are the main theme, which is sometimes mixed with elements of magical realism.
