The Influence at Arabic Poetry on Iraj Mirza's Divan

Iraj Mirza is a descendent of the Ghajari Fath-ali Shah whose poetry is, on the one hand, a mixture of tenderness and beauty, and, on the other, replete with vulgarity and obscene words. However, his poetry has always been tied to Islamic and Arabic themes which runs like blood in the entire body of his Divan. In addition, his poems are often composed in relation to religious themes in which Quranic concepts abound.In addition to verses from Arab poets like Abu-l-Fath Basti, Mohlebi, Ibn Qalaqes, Sharif Razi, and others, one might also explore traces of poetic themes related to Ibn Rumi, Motenabi, Abu-l-Atahiyeh, Bashar, Ibn Hajjaj in the depth of his Poetry. Thousands of Arabic proverbs are also implied using their lexicon or alluding to them in the form of short comments. The present article attempts to explore some of the themes at issue, identifying the Arabic sources and their Iranian counterparts which existed in the pre-Islamic period.Since Iraj Mirza might have been influenced by previous Iranian poets,the study also refers to some relevant evidence in the footnotes.
