Metaphor Analysis of Water and Mirror in Bidel’s Poems

The culmination of Indian Style and the cause of its growth refer back to the efforts and creative images as set forth by Bidel Dehlavi, leading to the genesis of various kinds of metaphors in his poetry, in which cases these metaphors are inconceivable and original so that one can dare to say that they are not found in some other poetries. The Indian style was  formed by Saib Tabrizi in Iran in the eleventh century and Bidel Dehlavi in India in which one can call Bidel as the knight of Persian language in Persian speaking territories overseas. This paper endeavors to give further explanations on water and mirror as the two highly applied motives in Bidel’s poetry along with some metaphors and their original combinations by such a rare stranger so that the study of his poetry and the profound philosophical and mystical meanings could become easier to some extent, and by unveiling the ambiguities and sophistications of his language that stemmed from these combinations and thoughts, the mellifluousness of his poetry as the full-fledged representative of the Indian style poetry could be transferred to his readers more than ever, dusting the surface of this brilliant gem, and remind the value of his poems once more.
