Stylistics of Raziq Fani's poems

Razeq Fani is one of the prominent poets of contemporary Afghan poetry who, unfortunately, like most of his compatriots, is not well known in Iran. A comprehensive analysis of Persian poetry in Afghanistan is one of the relatively neglected areas in our literary community. In this research, which has been carried out with the aim of recognizing the stylistic features of Raziq Fani"s poetry, an attempt has been made to introduce the great Afghan poet to those who are interested by presenting examples of Fani"s poetry. Also, identifying the position of Razegh Fani as a contemporary poet of Persian literature is one of the objectives of this research.

The present study is a theoretical study. Its data were obtained by library method and were done in a descriptive-analytical way and by presenting statistics. The study area is a collection of poems by Raziq Fani, published in Kabul by Hafiz Shariati Sahar. Razegh Fani"s classical poems have been stylized on three levels of language, literature and thought based on the method of Sirus Shamisa.

The most prominent linguistic features of mortal poetry are the use of slang words, ancient words, types of repetitions and novel rhymes. Its literary highlights include the high frequency of the method of proportionality, types of metaphors, new similes, types of irony, symbols, proverbs and allusions. The most important intellectual characteristics of mortal poetry are: love for the homeland, separation from the homeland, social pains and worries, grievances, protests and criticisms, problems and troubles of the land of immigration.

From the studies done, it can be concluded that Razegh Fani is a master poet who is completely proficient in the principles and rules of classical poetry and is familiar with different angles of Persian poetry and literary traditions.
