Ahmad Mohammadi (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Mir Seyyed Mohammad Tabatabai alias Sanjar Kashani (1021-981) is one of the Persian poet poets of the 11th century AH. His life period was historically contemporaneous with the prevalence of the style known as Hindi or Isfahani, and like most poets of this style, he spent part of his life in India and composed his poems in that land. Due to Sanjar"s lack of fame, despite the little research and research that has been done on this poet, the quality and details of his poetic status are not well known. The main question of the present study is what are the most prominent stylistic and content features of this poet"s poetry at the intellectual, linguistic, lexical and rhetorical levels, and to what extent does he deviate from the main features of the Indian style?

METHODOLOGY: The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical method and this research has been done by referring to existing references and references related to the life and circumstances of Sanjar Kashani and the stylistic and content characteristics of his poetry.

FINDINGS: Sanjar enjoyed considerable fame and prestige during his lifetime, so much so that Saeb Tabrizi mentioned him in his poem. He is a praiseworthy poet and in his poetry he has praised several kings of India such as Akbarshah, Mirza Khani Bey, Shahnavaz Khan and Ibrahim Adel Shah.

CONCLUSION: Narrative thinking and the creation of new themes and attention to colloquial words along with the extensive use of allegory and paradox are the most central features of Sanjar"s Indian style. Also, the use of words with a special semantic and symbolic load and also special attention to some religious events and allusions in religious praises can be considered as the distinguishing features of Sanjar"s poetry in comparison with the poetry of other poets of this period.
