Hafez and Galeb

The divine poems of Hafiz is beyond time and place; in fact, the influence of a permanent word of this modest poet can be clearly seen in the works of most sonnet composers after him. The depth and extent of this influence on the subcontinent has long existed. And his influence can be seen in works of great poets including Bidel Dehlavi, Saieb, Kalim, Iqbal Lahoori, Naziri, Orfi, Nasser Ali Sarhendi, Riyadh Kheirabadi, Jegar Morodabadi, Valeh Daghestani, etc. This study aimed to prove that: 1. Not all poets in Hindi style have been stretched to extremes in fantasy themes. 2. The background to return to Iraqi Style, especially to Hafez and Saadi’s sonnets was provided from within Hindi itself. This paper, applying a comparative analysis, aims at investigating and evaluating the extent that Ğāleb Dehlavi was influenced by Hafez in different dimensions such as: language, expression style, statement, vocabulary, composition, creating pictures, aesthetics of statements and innovation, prosody and poem rhythm, thoughts, wisdom, philosophical and social concepts and finally mystical ideas and origins.
