Ibn Farez's Poetic Moaning and a General View of his Gnosticism

A seeker’s enthusiasm and effort is indeed the means of ascension toward God and His divine love. Ibn Farez’s heart-rending and literary moaning, are similar to those of Mohyadin Iraqi, Molavi Balkhi, Fakharldin Iraqi, and other Gnostics. Given that he has used an extreme amount of innovative verbal and spiritual figures in his poems − which hasn’t been of interest to researchers − and also with the objective of recognizing his poetic character, the present research was conducted. The obtained results indicate that flares of divine love, lack of intimacy and union with the divine throne, and freedom from the mortal world, have created rare literary manifestations. In his poems, Ibn Farez has inspired a literary revolution along with a combination of literary techniques that has led to extremism in beauty hindering him from reaching his goal.
