The purpose of this article is to examine the style of this work.

This research was done with a descriptive-analytical method.

The formal and content structure of this work in three linguistic, rhetorical and intellectual levels is based on the fundamental political, social and cultural transformations of Iran at the beginning of the 10th century of Hijri and the changes that took place in the style of poetry and poetics, content and worldview, the way of imagination and imagery. It came, it was formed and in fact it was a step towards innovation and creating a style between the Indian style and the Iraqi style.

In Abdi Beyg's poetry, there is no mention of complex and abstract compositions of Indian style poets, and his compositions are made according to the simple and fluent language of his poetry. At the literary level, the presence of all kinds of imaginary images and beautiful images, creative themes, thin fictions, and all kinds of verbal and spiritual works in Abdi Beyg's words proves his proficiency in rhetorical techniques and the use of artistic language. What is important at the intellectual level of the poem is the historical and religious references and allusions to their stories in various places in the divan.
