Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Jalal Khaleghi-Motlaq is one of the prominent contemporary researchers and professors (1316-1404) who left behind a collection of Rubaiyats called Ahoe Koohi Dar Dasht. The Rubaiyats of this late contemporary thinker have not been researched and studied in terms of stylistics so far. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the stylistics of his Rubaiyats, in which stylistic characteristics in the linguistic, literary, and intellectual fields will be discussed and examined so that the audience and readers can also become familiar with Khaleghi-Motlaq"s less-noted abilities in the poetic field.

METHODOLOGY: The study method in the following article is descriptive-analytical based on library studies. The statistical population and scope of the study are his 150 quatrains in the collection "Mountain Deer in the Plain", which was published by "Hamisheh" Publications in 2018.

FINDINGS: Khaleghi Motlaq, using simple language, free from complexity and dogma, but following the elders in choosing rhymes and melodious lines, choosing noble words while avoiding boasting, using connected and disconnected pronouns in the place of rhyme, and using lyrical symbols, has paid more attention to three-rhymed quatrains. The dominant syntactic aspect is the news aspect. His words are more of a sensory type, and at the literary level, the frequency of sensory-to-sensory comparisons, abstract descriptive metaphors, and allusion to the described are notable in his poems. Among the novelistic devices, the proportional device has received more attention; in the field of intellectual style, attention to May, the beloved, and the passage of life in the style of Khayyam is more evident.

CONCLUSION: Our study of Khaleghi-Motlaq"s Rubaiyat shows that the poet has acted moderately in the three areas of linguistic, literary, and intellectual style. Among the notable features of his poems are the use of modern words, intertextuality with Khayyam, sensory analogies, attention to love and personal circumstances.
