Quranic Puns in Azerbaijani Poetic Style (Nezami, Khaqani, Qatran Tabrizi)

the Quran has undoubtedly had a fundamental role in the creation, evolution and development of rhetorical sciences. The study of literary text in each era of Persian literature reveals verbal and semantic aspects in creating rhetorical images and rhetorical embellishment. To elaborate the role of the Quran in the evolution and development of rhetorical embellishment and to find relevant Quranic evidence, also in order to perform a new exploration for puns, and more familiarity with the poetry of great poets of Azerbaijani style and the Quranic influence on them, this study analyzed Quranic puns in the poetry of three famous poets belonging to this style, i.e. Khaqani, Nezami, Qatran Tabrizi. In this regard, we achieved twenty types of Quranic puns in the poetry of these poets.
