An investigation of Ein-al-Qadat’s Persian poetry and his views on poetry

Ein- al-Qadat -Hamadani is one of the phenomes of Islamic-Iranian culture and a pre-eminent in Theosophy, Philosophy, Gnosticism, and Literature in his own era. His writings are abundant with elegant mystic theosophical punctiliousness. The present study aimed at investigating Persian poems mentioned throughout his sayings almost without mentioning the name of their poets. This characteristic is due to his specific attitude towards poetry. The major purposes of the current study are to show Quazi’s particular attitude towards poems and the poets’ identity whose couplets were recounted. Library research revealed Quazi’s meticulous attitude towards poetry in that he sees poem as a mirror in which everybody looks his own identity. This attitude is similar to present-day poets’ views about the death of authors and meaninglessness of poems.  Following that, poets such as AbolhassanBosti, YousefAmeri, AhmadHammuyu, and VaezSerakhsi, whose couplets were recited by Quazi, were presented and investigated. Findings displayed that Quazi had an unconventional and innovative attitude toward poem and he vitalized the name, identity, and samples of some mystic poets of the fourth and fifth century who have been anonymous everywhere else.
