Sitīzī dar qalamrav-i bayān

Sitīzī dar qalamrav-i bayān by Yūnus Mīrzāyī is a comparative study of conflict, opposition and contrasting ideas in the poetry of Nāṣir-i Khusraw and Ḥāfiẓ. The author sets the two poets within different religious and intellectual contexts and considers how each responds to authority, belief, hypocrisy, freedom, reason, love and the pressures of his age. The study first outlines the social struggles and ideological positions associated with Nāṣir-i Khusraw, then examines comparable or opposing motifs in Ḥāfiẓ’s poetry. It brings together poetic examples to identify affinities as well as differences in outlook, rhetoric and moral judgement. Rather than treating the poets only as literary figures, the book reads their verse as a record of intellectual resistance and cultural debate. It is intended for readers interested in Persian poetry, literary criticism, comparative interpretation and the relationship between poetic expression and religious, philosophical and social thought.
