Poetry of Borderline between Iraqi and Hindi Style

ABSTRACT:Before the advent of Hindi or Isfahni style, an intermediate style that is the borderline between Iraqi and Hindi style was created bearing the title “occurrence school”; therefore, at the same time as arrangements were being provided for Hindi style another style was also being developed and flourished, the base for this style was founded in the first quarter of the tenth century (AH) that brought out the sonnet from the dry and lackluster form of ninth century and gave it a new life and in the second half of the same century sonnet reached the peak of its perfection and it continued until the first quarter of the eleventh century. (Golcheen-e-Maanee, foundation of Iranian culture, 1969, p3) So there were two poetic trends in this century: one of them was subtle, eloquent, and fluent poetry of Baba Faghani who was called “The small Hafiz”, because he brought Hafiz poems due to the dilution of meaning and subtlety towards Hindi style and the other is the new style “occurrence school” which was created by poets to get rid of the imitation and change the style. But, ultimately, it didn’t work. Besides, changes in style were the natural reflection of social environment of the tenth century. (Shamisa, Ferdos publication, 1995, p270)
