Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Salman Savoji, a prominent poet of the 8th century AH, with a divan full of ghazals, odes, and masnavis, is one of the important figures in the continuation of educational literature in Persian poetry. The aim of the present study is to identify and analyze the manifestations of educational literature in Salman Savoji"s divan and to explain the moral, educational, and social system hidden in his poems in order to clarify how this poet has used the art of poetry in the service of morality, human education, and social reform.
METHODOLOGY: This study was conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach and based on the content analysis of Salman Savoji"s divan. Educational themes were extracted, classified, and explained in three main axes: "individual morality," "mystical-spiritual education," and "social and critical thoughts," based on a systematic study of the poems.
FINDINGS: The findings show that Salman Savoji"s divan is full of components of educational literature; In the area of personal ethics, virtues such as honesty, loyalty, humility, contentment, and avoidance of hypocrisy are emphasized; in the area of mystical education, concepts such as divine love, immortality, self-knowledge, and self-purification are emphasized; and in the area of social thought, the poet, by criticizing religious hypocrisy, externalism, and injustice, calls the audience to justice, freedom, and human dignity. In his poems, reason and love are in a constructive balance, and poetry is introduced as a medium for self-knowledge, self-purification, and the transcendence of the soul.
CONCLUSION: Salman Savoji has been able to establish an internal connection between poetic aesthetics and moral and educational messages, and elevates his poetry from the level of direct advice and slogans to an aesthetic and thought-provoking experience. His poetry is a prominent example of educational literature in which moral, legal, and religious teachings in the form of ghazals, odes, and eulogies guide the audience to self-knowledge, spiritual education, rethinking social relations, and reforming society.
