Document Type : مروری

Abstract

Before Nasir Khusrow, the format of qasida was mostly praise; But Naser Khosrow has broken the structure in the poem, both in terms of format and meaning. The subject of this article is to examine Nasir Khusrow's innovations in this field. In the first part of the article, odes before Nasir Khusrow are briefly discussed. In terms of poetic taste and adherence to some literary traditions, his poetry has similarities with previous poets. In the differences section, Nasser Khosrow's view on poetry, the weight of his poems, innovation in the introduction and the main part of the poem are examined. Nasir Khusrow's intention of describing nature is to show its instability through associations and secondary meanings, the necessity of not giving up on the meaningless passage, as well as passing from the outer nature and referring to the inner world. In fact, Nasser Khosrow, in the main text of the ode - which according to the tradition is the place of praise - deals with the interpretation and interpretation of the first part - the ghazal - and talks about religious issues. The source of this view of the poet is the Qur'an and theological thoughts that can be seen in some of his authoritative works.
