Pastiche and confronting of Hazin Lahiji in Odes

Hazin Lahiji is one of the sublime poets and scientists of 12th century A.H. and spent most of his lifetime in India. He was a master in almost all of the scientific fields of his time and wrote about them. Although he has not considered poetry as his first talent and his scientific rank is higher than his being a poet, he has written many poems in different formats of Sonnet, Ode, Tarkib band (composite-tie), Quatrain and Masnavi. The reputation of his poems is mostly for his sonnets. Hazin has 40 Odes which are often about theism and praising the prophet of Islam, Imam Ali and other religious sublimes and praising Imam Ali is the most frequent theme of his Odes among others. He has pastiched poems of Anvari, Khaghani, Sanayi, Sa’di and Naser Khosrow, respectively and wrote poems with the same rhythm, rime, word order and some common words and contents. His devotion to Prophet Mohammad and Imam Ali made him confront flattering panegyrists such as Anvari and mentioning their names, make their poets seem witchery and their praise untruth and introduce his poems as the truth and real intimacy. In this study it has been attempted to compare Hazin’s Odes with other poets’, using library method and analysis of contents of the Odes.
