Debates on the Backgrounds of Wine Poetry and its Manifestations in Arabic and Persian Poetry

The Wine Poetry has been influenced by several sources. Persian Banquet tradition had an effect on the Arabic poetry of pre- Islamic and Islamic period. Besides, the social movement of the first two centuries induced the Decadent Arabic poetry, known as Mujun. The satiric and protesting aspects within it, made a background for the Qalandar literature of later centuries. Along with the expressions which were derived from Banquet tradition, other themes such as Sin and Repentance and Guilt and Mercy of God, were developed in Mystical literature by means of Mujun Poetry. In this article, we are going to explain the counter effect of the Persian-Arabic literature along with the flourishing of lyric language by means of Wine Poetry.
