Review, analysis and correction of some verses from Khāqāni Sharvāni's anthology

Khāqāni Sharvāni is a poet who has a specific poetic style. With certain innovations, his poems are among the most difficult works of Persian poetry. The poet's unique view of the sciences of his time, his proficiency in various poetic techniques, and his precise knowledge of the subtleties of language, along with his special techniques in the artistic display of images, are the important features that add to the complexity of his poetry. These factors have also created difficulties in correcting Khāqāni's anthology; so many distortions have taken place, and, despite numerous corrections, there are still doubts about the correct recording of many verses. It is obvious that the correction and interpretation of such an anthology, in addition to scientific and literary knowledge, requires a complete acquaintance with the mental atmosphere and the style of the poet and his literary technical tricks. Accordingly, in this research, with regard to the recording of manuscripts and various other factors, especially Khāqāni's unique method of using imaginary correspondence and literary techniques, some verses in his book have been corrected and described. Also, with a review and a careful study of his poems and a critical look at previous interpretations, the verses are analyzed and new points are presented about the way of reading and the semantic use of words and combinations there.
