Abstract

Nazhat al-Oqoul is replete with verses and poems that have found their way into a text without the poet's name. This text consists of forty chapters, in each of which, in accordance with the story narrated, the author has included verses in various forms. The present research has examined these verses using an analytical-descriptive method. In the text, poetry has been used ninety-seven times, with the Quatrains being the most frequent poetic form. In Nazhat al-Oqoul, there are thirty-four Quatrains, twenty-eight single verse, sixteen stanzas, eleven mathnavis, and eight poems in the form of odes  and sonnets. Out of these ninety-seven poems used, sources were found for thirty-four of them; verses from Sanaei, Khaqani, and Nezami were found repeatedly, and poems from poets such as Ayn al-Quzzat Hamadani, Mu'in al-Din Asam, Seyed Hassan Ghaznavi, Baba Afzal Kashani, and others were included too. Most of the poems used in the Nazhat al-Oqoul text differ from the published versions of anthologies. Furthermore, there is a dispute over the attribution of some of the poems used, and Nazhat al-Oqoul is helpful in this regard.
