The Effect of Emra-al-Qeys's Moallaqeh on Lameie's poems

Abol-Hasan Mohammad Ibn Ismail Lameie Gorgani, who lived in the mid-5th century, is one of well-known poets that his works are based on the style practiced in early Ghaznavid dynasty. Some of his poems are a response to the odes of that period. His poems describe nature or eulogize the elite of his time may be, indeed, considered as an imitated amalgam of Farrokhi, Onsori and Manouchehri's anthologies. The reader reminds Manouchehri's works by his metaphorical descriptions of deserts, horses and other manifestations of nature. However, he outdared Manouchehri in using obsolete Arabic words in some of his odes. Lameie has composed 56 couplets in the honor of Abol-Hasan Ali-Ibn Mohammd Lamiehi. These verses are somewhat like Emra-al-Qeys's Moallaqheh with 82 couplets. Structure of his odes like a vulgar poet who moaning over the relics of his beloved's deserted home, goes on by singing in the memory of good old days while shedding tears of regret for missing his beloved and ends in taking a leave with a final eulogy. Emra-al-Qeys's Moallaqheh being composed of these three basic parts too, namely standing on the relics of the beloved's home while wailing, telling love stories especially on Darat Joljol day and describing his experience of vagrancy. The present article aims at the structure, theme and imagery of Lamei's poems in comparison and contrast with Emra-al-Qeys's Moallaqheh.
