Suggestions for writing some vocabulary and combinations in the Hadiqat al Haqiqa

Hadiqat al Haqiqa can be considered as one of the ancient texts of Persian literature; Due to this antiquity, ancient and obsolete words, terms, and combinations have been used in it that some of which have not even been recorded in dictionaries. In addition, due to the mistake of the correctors, misreadings have taken place in the written or corrected texts, which have changed the written form of some of the words and their combinations and removed them from their originality. The necessity of this research is that the words and phrases used in the Hadiqah are among the valuable heritage of Persian language and literature, and the advancement of language and literature will increase the distance between the natives and the works, and such advancement may make it more difficult to discover their correct form. The descriptive-analytical method is used in this research and data collection tools are library resources in which the achievements of other researchers in this field have been spotted and benefited. The main achievement of this research is suggestions for recording some words and compounds in this work that will solve the conceptual problem of some verses.

The history of Persian literature proves that Hadiqat al Haqiqa, immediately after it was written, was met with public acclaim; To the extent that its verses have found their way into the works of Sanai's contemporaries, such as Bahramshahi's Kelileh va Demneh. Researchers' re-approach to the works of Sanai led to three valid academic corrections of this work in the last century: 1. Correction of the late Modarres Razavi, based on the comprehensive script of Hadiqah; 2. Correction of Hosseini (Fakhrinameh), based on a concise script of Hadiqah; 3. Yahaghi and Zarqani's correction, with access to older versions, based on the comprehensive script. Nevertheless, we should not assume that there is no need to correct it; because the misreadings and misconceptions that have led to these corrections are so much that they cannot be easily ignored.  

This research, using library resources, analytical and descriptive methods, has examined the recording of some words and compound words in Hadiqat al Haqiqa. Additionally, the author of the article has adapted some cases with manuscripts. The need to study ancient mystical works, as well as to review and critique the published works on this subject, necessitates further research. The importance of this research is the significant position of Sanai and Hadiqat al Haqiqa in the history of Persian literature, which has been influential in the formation of the mystical current in Persian poetry. Of course, the literary importance of Hadiqah should not be easily overlooked; because the words, combinations, and expressions used in it, due to their lack of use, need more research and recognition. Such is the necessity of this research to highlight similar words and combinations. The research process is such that first, the recorded form of the verse is mentioned in the existing corrections of the Hadiqah, and then, the author's proposed form for recording words and also expressing their meaning will be presented with evidence from Persian literature texts.      

In this research, the correct form of the words and combinations of "mademouyan", "sayesh", "fasi", "chamsh", "takab and takin", "enaz", "tankar", "nikbad" and "nebisandeh" are discussed and finally, it has become clear that some of the inconsistencies in the corrections made from Hadith al-Haqiqah go back to its two different versions, which caused a difference of verses from the verse 3800 (in Khalil Inaljak's version) to 14,000 verses (in Hagia Sophia's version) and this is the reason that has made the explanation of the book very difficult for researchers. It should be noted that when verse or verses are not expressed in their place, the vertical axis of the work will be disrupted, and understanding the meaning of the verses will not be easy. On the other hand, some of the difficulties of Hadiqat al Haqiqa are the result of incorrect correction of verses or incorrect recording of words and compounds, which adds to its ambiguity. However, it should be noted that by approaching the poetic mentality of the poet as well as the language of his time, some of the shortcomings of writing and recording the words and compositions of the Hadiqah can be eliminated. In this study, it was found that the main reasons for misreading and incorrect recording of words and combinations in written or corrected Hadiqah texts include the following:  1. Obsoleteness of words (Sayesh); 2. Use of words and terms of other sciences (Fasi, Tankar); 3. Not reflecting the meaning of the word or composition in its context (enaz, nikbad);  4. Not paying attention to the use of words or combinations in texts close to the time of the poet (mademouyan); 5. Lack of attention to other forms of words (chamsh and nebisandeh).
