The Common Themes in Love Songs of the Suspended Odes and Bakhtiari Nomadic Verse

The impact of region, geography, and the environment on the behavior, manners, and thoughts of human beings is undeniable. The manifestation of this effect has stood out in the literature ofa wide variety of peoples and ethnicities. Lifestyle creates the poetic and literary style and the style of Arabic and Bakhtiari poetry is influenced by their surrounding lives in terms of content and language. A quick glance at the poetry of Arab people,especially that of pre-Islamic period, would point to the fact that Arabic poetry is a total reflection of the nomadic life of that region. In the poetry of pre-Islamic era, what stands out the most is the quality of nomadic life, migration, and its requirements. In Iran a great deal of Luri poetry, particularly that of Bakhtiari dialect, have a lot in common with the Arabic poetry of pre-Islamic period. Migration and its concomitant state of being homesick, stopping by the beloved’s halting-place, crying over it, and the remembrance of the sweet memories of being in the company of the beloved in Bakhtiari songs find parallels in the Pre-Islamic poetry of the premises of the Suspended Odes. The important point is that Bakhtiari poetry, unlike Persian poetry, despite the thematic similarities, has not imitated the Arabic poetry, and this similarity in themes is the result of tribal lifestyles.The current research aims to comparatively examine instances of realizations of such similarity in Bakhtiari and Suspended Odes of Arabic poetry
