Study and Analysis of the Stylistics of Saadi Shirazi's Persian Poems at the Intellectual Level

Omid Majd , Naser Kazemkhanlo (Author in Charge), Samireh Hemmati

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Like other literary genres, the ode has undergone many changes over time and has undergone changes and transformations in structure and content. Saadi Shirazi is one of the greatest ode writers in the Persian language who played a prominent role in the development of the ode after Naser Khosrow, Sana"i, and Khaqani, but not much research has been published about his odes. This article examines the stylistic features of Saadi Shirazi"s Persian poems at the intellectual level.

METHODOLOGY: This research, which was conducted using content and library analysis, examines the structure and most important stylistic features of Saadi Shirazi"s Persian poems at the intellectual level.

FINDINGS: Saadi broke with tradition by using advice or praise instead of poetry, using lyrical odes, and shortening the main body (praise) in comparison to poetry - sometimes to the limit of one or two verses - in his odes. Criticism and objection to the custom of praise, appeal to kings, and threats and warnings of praise are also among Saadi"s other innovations in the main body of his odes.

CONCLUSION: The main subject and content of Saadi"s odes are praising God and the Prophet (PBUH), monotheism, describing spring, preaching, advice, and wisdom, praising and admiring the great, and lamentations. Saadi is a lyric poet and because of this spirit, he has included lyrics in most of his odes of praise, but in his non-lyrical odes and in odes of praise combined with advice, he does not include lyrics and goes straight to the main subject of the ode from the very beginning. By rejecting the shari"ah and dedicating this section to the prayer of the praised (not the demand for immortality in the form of a shari"ah), he has created a change in the structure of ancient odes.
