The Trace of Koranic Story of Ibrahim in Hafiz's Black Eyelashes

One of the most outstanding characteristics of Hafiz' poem is its amenability. Among all, sonnet 354 beginning with "with your black eyelashes you brought me thousand doubts', taking an impressionist view, is one of the sonnets that can be compared and contrasted with the story of Ibrahim and Ishaelm (peace be upon them) in the Surah of Safat. The interpretation of "ghasre" (the palace of houri) in sonnet 354 derived from Surahs of Safat, Sad, Vaghea, Rahman is a clue on the one hand, links the audience mind with the story of the Holly prophet Ibrahim and Ishmael (peace be upon them) in the Surah of Safat, and on the other hand it causes a harmony and link among the couplets of the sonnet. Based on this amenability and contrast, it is found out that Hafiz artistically has created a semantic and lexical link between his sonnet and story of Ibrahim. In fact he has been under the influence of the story in the creation of his sonnet and has accorded it with the artistic and literal nature of sonnet. Consequently created by this amenability, a different meaning can be excluded considering single lexicon, expressions and couplets of the sonnet. On the other hand, a more logical relation and a stronger consolidation can be made among the couplets of the sonnet that facilitates understanding of the couplets.In this article it is aimed to clarify and analyze the relationship between the sonnet and the Koranic story, it is also meant to demonstrate a different analysis and interpretation with reference to Hafiz's amenability from The Holy Koran verses, in addition to other meanings and expositions presented till now.
