The artistic aspect of Mujir al-Din Bilqani's satirical similes

One of the lyrical literary manifestations in Mojir al-Din Bilqani's poems is his satires. These satires, along with Khaghani's satires, have been forgotten and not studied. For this reason, the present study tries to eliminate immoral satires, introduce satire and mention the reasons for its existence in Mujir al-Din's poems, and identify his rhetorical technique.

The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and the data have been collected using library resources. The study area and society is a collection of poems by the divan of Mojir al-Din Bilqani, which has been published by the Institute of History and Culture of Iran with the correction and suspension of Mohammad Abadi.

The results of the research show that the language of Mujir's satires is chaste and often away from insults with taboo words. Her satires are mostly related to opponents and rivals and in this case, simile is the most important imaginative image and poetic element of Mujir. The mind of the illustrator Mujir al-Din is not content to bring one image and his similes are mixed with other images. Also, he has tried to show his superiority with allegorical expressions based on similes. This has reduced the ugliness of his satires and increased their rhetorical aspect.

In his satirical similes, the poet has established a poetic connection between unrelated elements and has forced the audience's mind to try. Therefore, his satires have an artistic aspect. In terms of meaning, his satires reflect the social situation and morality that govern society. Therefore, the satires of Mujir al-Din Bilqani, in addition to their artistic aspect, are significant in terms of meaning.
