A Comparison of the Styles of a Lyric by Haidari Wujodi and a Lyric by Mawlawi (A Micro-context Approach)

The most appropriate method for understanding a poet or writer's intellectual, linguistic, and literary aspects is through a style comparison. If this comparison is broad, it is necessary to compare the entire body of work produced by the two poets or writers; if it is concise, it is also possible to compare the stylistic components of the two lyrics. Using a micro-context approach and cognitive style, this article compares two lyrics (Ghazals)—one by Haydari Wujodi, a contemporary poet and mystic, and the other by Mawlawi, a classical poet and great mystic—that are identical in terms of the prosaic weight of both lyrics “Failatun Failatun Failatun Failun” and the word “narrator”. The comparison has been performed based on three stylistic levels: linguistic level, literary level, and intellectual level. The findings of this study show that both lyrics are comparable to one another and share similar language and intellectual characteristics. In addition, the intellectual similarities suggest that Haydari’s mysticism was influenced by Mawlawi’s mysticism.
