Investigating and Analyzing the Linguistic Structure and Classification of Khaghani's Short Poems

Poetic forms play an essential role in the division of Persian poetry. Most of the definitions of these forms refer to its form, and since in the sixth century some themes are expanding, and the form of lyric poetry has also become popular. In the works of poets such as Sanai and Khaghani, who are both poets and lyricists, the issue of classifying poems in the field of content and format has arisen. In the present study, we have examined and classified Khaghani's short poems from a linguistic point of view. We have concluded that due to the three linguistic, as well as "vocabulary selection", part of Khaghani's short poems are in the lyric poems and part of the lyric poems are in the short poems. Khaqani's short poems can be divided into 7 groups: 1. Poems all praise, 2. Poems of incomplete poems, 3. Grief poems, 4. Syntactic poems, 5. Judicial poems (advice), 6. Complaining poems, 7. Qalandari's poems. The linguistic features of some of these poems are very close to the form of "sonnets" in such a way that both very similar examples can be shown in both sonnets and poems. Khaghani is one of the poets who injected the sound of "praise" into the lyric after Sanai, and is the first poet to recite "mourning" in the form of a lyric. As a result, the line between short poems and lyric poems has blurred, making it difficult to classify his poems.
