Both Sanai with entering his poetic mysticism, poetry and pomp Khaghani a special place in Persian poetry and the tradition of its time focused on the issue of love and beloved. However, this possibility is the mystical dimension or later Ghanaian or other dimensions. The themes are discussed in this article, from the perspective of artistic imagery and imagery in describing the beloved and important way overnight. For each poetic images and titles to mention a poem by each poet control is sufficient. Finally, the author focuses on the overall analysis and the desired result is achieved. Keywords: beloved, Khaghani, Sanai, poetry, lyrics, imagery. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 2146 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Introduction: In Persian poetry lover and beloved literary tradition is one of the themes in literature, especially in Ghana and its lyric, there has been much attention and centuries, in every period of Persian poetry, there have been two specific attitudes towards it. In fact, the beloved main role is decisive and in other words, the circuit is of Iranian literature. Art imaging, the main focus centered and superficial beauty of the beloved, the imaginary form of the simile, metaphor, virtual instruments and diagnostics (animation); that is the beauty and wonders of nature poet pays to describe the beloved around. For example spring, which is the manifestation of beauty and rejuvenation of nature, the poet who uses it as imaginary, image and the image that comes from feeling and his imagination, create a form of love; feel yourself in the beauty of the beloved expression compared to the most beautiful and most intuitive around the image, for example, each member of her lover's one of the beauties of nature around, such as: On the goal, eye narcissus, hyacinth hair to; therefore, important for imaginary (simile, metaphor, etc.) to describe the apparent beauty and poetic lover is very attentive. The view of the poet in their environment, more subtle and deeper, the picture that motivated his imaginative, poetic and will be a more imaginative; in other words, the imaginary circle is more poet than for his ability to reproduce and to portray the beloved, will be more pronounced. Of course, if imaginary circle of different poets. If you use the imaginary frequency in some high and some low poets. Like the much attention as a means for creating image beloved poets; That is, the poet has to see the beauty around likeness between vehicle and vehicle and this similarity has made for her lover flowers, violets and lavender hair to like it and but the intention of the beloved poetic epithets and titles, names of poets based on his poetic imagination as well as using your imaginary faces its most beloved titles, and titles, have called. Most of these titles infrastructure descriptive composition, similes and metaphors are; that their high frequency of repetition and descriptive mode, your similes and metaphors lost and have become beloved poetic name. Although the lyrical poetic as both poet repeated, initiatives and innovations are sometimes seen in pronouncing her lover. Titles and titles may be common in the lyric of the poets, but the difference is in the way overnight and its content. It depends on the widespread use of facilities for imaginary poet, fine imagination, power and dominance over the Persian poet and innovator or follower of his being. Introduction to Sanai poetic style: On the subject of discussion and analysis of the concept of love and lover of poetry Sanai have said in the course of analysis of the beloved poets, including Rudaki number of poets called Khorasani style, Manuchehri Damghani and Farrukhi Sistani and others turned more to the praise of rulers and speaking of kings and beloved land. But when it comes to lyrics Hakim Sanai is at the beginning of the same style of previous poets, but after dealing with personal poems called "lai-eater" in Ghazni written, it seems that social and moral behavior poetic wisdom has changed. That's why Hakim Sanai has been a turning point in the sense that love poems to the poetry of mystical transformation. Since everything is in the first phase of hardship and a lot of hardship, sage naturally could not be exempted from it. And it turns out the way to goal and opinions at the time, has endured problems. Actually Sanai able to expand the realm of ideas and experience in the art of Persian poetry and lyrical poetry that http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 2147 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 until then disperse in the land and praise experience so the new arrangement, and it became religious and mystical emotions and Couplets in the form of didactic literature and the philosophical mysticism. The Masnavi of Hadiqat-ul Haqiqah one of the most effective teaching and mystical literature in Persian language. As other Persian poets, including Rumi and Attar's Couplets were adjusted their style of Sanai and many others Couplets created to imitate the style of Sanai. However, Sana has a personality out of character of those present at the time, he is a multi-dimensional personality in a way that is both lyrical and people from worship, both from the religious and the skeptics, the ascetic poetry and the poetry Qalandari. Sanai bipolar viewpoints, fight over the wisdom and love, the confrontation between the royal palace and monastery, religion and spirituality, and so implies an open attitude of his character. Nevertheless, Hakim Sanai was born in an era when dealing with mystical poetry, were not relevant and love and lovers in the ground space was discussed, poets often praise the kings and princes and rulers, and because of the financial resources that were earned by getting ,maintaining and gratuity; and rather than lovers were changed. (Khorasani style) and its land lovers were involved. Sanai was also out first of these categories, but in the beginning he was recently praised the sultans of fun but soon disowned this method and to the world of mysticism and gold turned away from God chooses force. So, Sanai Ghaznavi was the first Persian ghazals both in terms of the format and content both in terms of structure, gave independence. That is inspired by the great Sufi mystical teachings, because Shibli, Bayazid Bastami, and Hallaj, Sufism that had been common in the fifth century, in this age, the strength formally format called ghazals and mystical Persian poetry as lyric founded. The same type of poem that later in its evolution from both the poets after him grew. From the perspective of structure, through Anvari, Zaheer irrigation and Kamal al-Din Isfahani culminated in Saadi and Hafiz, and the content (knowledge) through Attar, Rumi and Hafiz Kamal found Khaghani and military. Sanai another part of the lyrics to the theme of romantic mysticism form. These themes, in a variety of poetic forms in place, instead of his works can be seen. Odes to the Court that the general atmosphere surrounding their souls is Qalandari and the implications of these odes is often of the kind raised in the romantic mysticism is the expression of love and states of love and beloved. Also in this kind odes, with beliefs and way of thinking primarily encountered blame which in terms of content, they also have one of the poems on the theme of romantic mysticism fit. In the latter, the poet puts on the appearance of denying and denouncing places and persons infected but have esoteric (like Allen, mosque) considered sacred and what is religious as anti-valued (such as pubs, drunkenness, etc.), and his purpose in this collection (of course) the negative campaign against the hypocrisy that was later continued by the keeper. Another part of the romantic mysticism Sanai, the lyrics have been raised. His poems, in terms of themes divided into two categories; first odes include the romantic mysticism and other themes related to the underlying meanings of the more unreal love of pure love heaven and the earth. He also blame beliefs (which is proportional to the romantic mysticism) has been proposed many times in the lyrics. The idea of some of the romantic mysticism Sanai should he be found in the poems of symbolic and allegorical, while this kind, it is dedicated to Sanai devotional mysticism. In some allegorical stories Hadigh though rarely, sometimes, we come across cases that the content should be placed in the following verses of romantic mysticism such that it can be said that despite warnings from lover to lover tale that in sober and vigilant not to cross the Tigris, enter the Tigris and perish. According to the story, the love in the way that it should not drink it with caution and this is what forms the core of romantic mysticism. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 2148 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Beloved poetic titles in poetry of Sanai: Sanai on the beloved mystical and poetic as that used his divine

  • Irreverent Persia

    Irreverent Persia

    Irreverent Persia IRANIAN IRANIAN SERIES SERIES Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of IRREVERENT PERSIA Persian literary history. Its principal genres – invective, satire and burlesque – have been INVECTIVE, SATIRICAL AND BURLESQUE POETRY very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE TIMURID PERIOD have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle (10TH TO 15TH CENTURIES) irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry RICCARDO ZIPOLI (10th century) up to the age of Jâmi (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet. In addition to their historical and linguistic interest, many of these poems deserve to be read for their technical and aesthetic accomplishments, setting them among the masterpieces of Persian literature. Riccardo Zipoli is professor of Persian Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice, where he also teaches Conceiving and Producing Photography. The western cliché about Persian poetry is that it deals with roses, nightingales, wine, hyperbolic love-longing, an awareness of the transience of our existence, and a delicate appreciation of life’s fleeting pleasures. And so a great deal of it does. But there is another side to Persian verse, one that is satirical, sardonic, often obscene, one that delights in ad hominem invective and no-holds barred diatribes. Perhaps surprisingly enough for the uninitiated reader it is frequently the same poets who write both kinds of verse.

These are the first words with which Dowlatshah Samarqandi begins the notice he devotes to Hafez in his Tazkerat al-sho‘ara in 1486. Then he adds: ‘His excellence (fazilat) and his perfection (kamal) are endless and the art of poetry is unworthy of his rank. He is incomparable in the science of Qur’an and he is illustrious in the sciences of the exoteric (zaher) and the esoteric (baten).’1 Although Hafez died in 1389, his poetry was widely celebrated one century later, as shown by Dowlatshah’s eulogy.

The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period.

  • The Comparison of Sanai and Rumi's Outlooks Towards Women

    The Comparison of Sanai and Rumi's Outlooks Towards Women

    The Comparison of Sanai and Rumi's Outlooks Towards Women Abstract The position and prominence of women in any society is associated to the attitude of the time and individuals towards women. The place of women in Iranian society has always has been controversial. In the meantime, the works of poets can be a mirror for understanding the situation of women. By considering the fact that the worldview of every poet, writer, or thinker is influenced by the intellectual, social, and cultural memory of the time and place in which the person exists; Sanai and Rumi are prominent Iranian poets whose works reflect the political, social and cultural conditions of their life. The issue raised in this study is the transformation of the position of women in society during the time of the mentioned poets. This research is accomplished by a descriptive and analytical method and relies on library data. Findings show that from the Sanai to Rumi periods, a unique social and cultural change took place that led to the enhancement of the status of women and this has been effective in the depiction of women's personalities. Sanai has a mainly negative and critical view of women and rarely cares about her position as a mother and in the service of her religious attitude towards women; nonetheless, Rumi considers woman as a manifestation of divine beauty; furthermore, in Rumi's poetry, woman is the soul, earth, and essence, and she complements creation and this distinguishes the manner in which the female figure is depicted in the poetry of Sanai.

    Sa'di's Rose Garden

    Sa’di’s Rose Garden: a Paean to Reconciliation ‘An Exploration of Socio-Political Relations, Human Interactions, Integration, Peace and Harmony’ Mohamad Ahmadian Cherkawani (Iman) Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations Department of Politics School of Geography, Politics, Sociology 01/2018 i ii Abstract The core purpose of this PhD has been to investigate the reconciliatory thought of a 13th century Persian poet named Sa’di Shirazi. Although Sa’di’s prose poetry is not set out in the systematic form of a comprehensive political theory, profound insights were extracted from it that convey a powerful message regarding the necessities of harmonious behaviour as a precondition for a healthy society, and the dangers of not adhering to it. The Rose Garden of Sa’di, his most prized work and a pillar of Persian literature which is one of the oldest in the world, was the focus of this thesis. I revealed that deep within the Rose Garden, there exists a concept of human integration or reconciliation leading towards an ideal state that Sa’di envisions and the name of the book denotes. This concept lies at the heart of his concern for human well-being and prosperity. The thesis is developed in five stages: first, I describe Sa’di’s personality and life experiences; second, I show how recently there has been an aesthetic turn and a local turn in our understanding of present-day politics and peace, demonstrating how poetry, especially indigenous poetry, can have a significant impact on political behaviour and understanding; third, I deal with
  • The Poet and His Patrons: Two Ghaznavid Panegyrists

    The Poet and His Patrons: Two Ghaznavid Panegyrists

    PERSICA XVII, 2001 THE POET AND HIS PATRONS: TWO GHAZNAVID PANEGYRISTS Julie Scott Meisami University of Oxford Among Professor Hans de Bruijn's many contributions to the study of Persian poetry, his discussion of the influence of patronage on the poetic production of Sanaˆi of Ghazna (d. 525/1131) stands out as the first major effort at addressing this important issue.1 De Bruijn disputed the traditional image of Sanaˆi as a court poet who, after a mystical “con- version”, dedicated himself to composing religious poetry, and showed us instead a poet who, failing to secure satisfactory patronage at the court of the Ghaznavid Mas¨ud III (492-508/1099-1115), turned to religious patrons, for whom he composed panegyrics, homiletic poetry, and poems to be used in preaching. Sanaˆi also produced song-texts (gazals) for professional minstrels; and when he returned to the Ghaznavid court in the reign of Bahramsah (511-52?/1117-57?), he dedicated to that ruler both his homiletic ma†nawi the Îadiqat al-Ìaqiqa and numerous panegyrics in the qaÒida and gazal forms. The diversity of Sanaˆi's patrons, and of his poetic output, raises broader questions about the nature of literary patronage; and Professor de Bruijn's study illustrates the need for a more extensive exploration of this issue. In his doctoral thesis on Sanaˆi Franklin Lewis addressed this issue further;2 but it remains to be seen whether Sanaˆi's case is excep- tional, or whether it reflects changing patterns of patronage at the courts of the later Ghaznavids.3 That from its very beginnings Persian poetry was intimately connected with courts is well known.

    International Journal of Finance and Managerial Accounting, Vol.1, No.4, Winter 2016 Is Hesaabdaaree an Adequate Equivalent for Accounting? Ahmad Nasseri Assistant Professor of Accounting, University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran (Corresponding Author) [email protected] Hassan Yazdifar Mohammad Ali Mahmoodi Akram Arefi Professor of Accounting, Salford Associate Professor of Persian M.A.in Persian Language and University, UK Language and Linguistics, Linguistics, University of Sistan and University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran Baluchestan, Zahedan, Iran ABSTRACT Some of the difficulties and misunderstandings that happen in accounting theory, practice, regulation and education are grounded in language and linguistics. As an illustration of this the Persian equivalent of 'accounting' is linguistically analysed to reveal how a mistranslation may cause difficulties in understanding and improving Iranian Accounting. This paper shows how Hesaabdaaree is not a complete Persian equivalent for 'Accounting'. The examination is followed through two linguistic methods. First, a localistic lexical semantic approach is applied. Hesaabdaaree is a combination of an Arabic noun and a Persian suffix. It is then argued that the impuissance and limitations of hesaabdaaree in transferring all conceptual aspects of accounting has not arisen from hesaab, but daaree. Next, a holistic lexical semantic approach is applied to examine the sense of Hesaabdaaree within its word family to find out if it conveys the precise sense of accounting. Both the localistic and holistic examinations reveal the weaknesses of the Persian word Hesaabdaaree in transferring the exact meaning of 'Accounting'. This paper adds to the existing body of accounting theory and methodology by: a) introducing and examining a linguistic problem (i.e.
