Wus'at-i- Mashrab: The Poet's Intellectual Response to Safavid Politics

Wus'at-i- Mashrab of the Safavid literature (Indian style) is a social, cultural and political thought. This idea was made by immigrant poets who were considered educated in society. The frequency and distribution of the term in poetic collections, historical sources and poetic and Sufi Tazkiras (treatises) prompted us to explain and analyze this term. The purpose of this article is to show its various dimensions and to explore the context of the idea's formation and development. On this basis, the poets of the Safavid era have built the popular idea into a unified system whose central idea is to ignore the distinctions and differences that have caused divisions in society. This article is categorized into seven sections by extracting definitions, characteristics, metaphors, and functions of its dimensions: non-sectarianism, opposition to religion, its relation with mysticism,Mashrab and love, seeking for pleasure, Mashrab as ethical form of life and ontological aspect of Mashrab.
