Pondering on Verses of Kalim Kashani (Hamedani)

Abstract

Abutaleb Kalim Kashani (Hamedani), Creative Al-Ma'ani Thani, is considered one of the first poets of the 11th century. The use of elements such as theme, artistic, allegory, and elements of folklore has made Kalim the pioneer of Indian-Isfahani style, whose accuracy in speech and poem opens the door to the so-called Hindi poets. This research has been done using a descriptive-analytical method and we have attempted to reflect on some of the controversial words, phrases and verses of Kalim Kashani (Hamedani)’ Divan (collection), and tried to simultaneously investigate some of his controversial verses to clarify his nature of the image and poem. Therefore, we present some of the misreading related to the corrected forms of Kashani's illusions, and give some suggestions on the correct form of the phrase ‘the houses in the eyes of the compass’ and ‘hot eyes’. Then, we combed the combination of hot eyes in a sonnet from Kalim, and through this combination with the concept of green eye, we examined the history of the use of the eye and the face of it. Then, through the inter-textual relationships in the poetry of this era, by examining the neglected and obscure motifs of Kalim's poetry, such as nail art, paper and Totoya paper, it was concluded that the key words for the effect of the universal language on Indian poetry came from the status of specific and personal motifs that has become one of the most popular Indian style characteristics.
