The Influence of Isfahan-Hindi Style on the Contemporary Ghazal: A Critical Analysis

The main purpose of the current study is to investigate novice poets’ Ghazal poetry who have adopted the Isfahani-Hindi style. In particular, this study seeks to identify the most prominent elements of the Hindi style in the contemporary youth Ghazal through a descriptive-analytical method based on library research. The research questions are: Why has Ghazal that should be in line with Nimayi or the taste of the contemporary audience adopted the Hindi style in some trends? In this way, what elements of the Hindi-style tradition have been innovative? And which pattern or approach has been imitative in Ghazals? The results of this study show that in some Ghazals, superficial and blind modeling of the equation and theme of neo-composition or applying new but hasty and superficial allegory and simile has weakened the content and structure of the couplet.
