Reza Ghayoomi (Author in Charge), Morteza Fallah , Majid Pouyan
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Heydar Ali Kamali (1871–1949 CE, Abarqu) was one of the influential poets of the Constitutional Era. This essay examines the distinctive style of his poetry at linguistic, literary, and ideological levels, as well as the stylistic features of the historical period to which his works belong.
METHODOLOGY: The required data for this study was gathered through library research and subsequently analyzed using descriptive and analytical methods.
FINDINGS: Kamali’s poetic style is formal-literary and devoid of linguistic disarray. The predominant forms in his work areghazalandOde (qasida), with themuzāriʿmeter being the most frequently employed. Except for his Mosam"mats, which are unnecessarily full of inner rhymes, he uses rhyme sparingly, only when necessary, and rarely employs musical devices such as refrain (radīf), alliteration, and Internal Rhyme (tasjīʿ). His lexical choices aim to preserve the grandeur of poetic language, avoiding excessive colloquialisms. Syntactically, his poetry lacks excessively long compound sentences. On the literary level,allusion is the most frequent semantic device, while repetition andparonomasia (jenās)dominate among phonetic figures. Thematically, Kamali’s poetry revolves around three major categories. Political-Social Themes:Including freedom, patriotism, critique of a lethargic society, gender equality, and the rule of law. Ethical-Religious Themes:Emphasizing introspection and the praise of moral values. While not explicitly Sufi, his poetry occasionally touches upon mystical concepts. Lyrical-Love Themes:Predominant in hisghazals, these verses sometimes depict love beyond a specific beloved, while at other times; they address earthly love for a concrete beloved. Kamali’s poetry exhibits stylistic elements from the Khorasani, Iraqi, and Indian poetic traditions, yet he synthesizes these influences into a unique personal style.
CONCLUSION: Heydar Ali Kamali stands out as one of the Constitutional Era’s poets whose works distinguish themselves linguistically and ideologically, establishing him as a poet with a distinctive style.
