Attar and Meeting with Holy witness (A discussion on the Construction and Content of some of sonnet-narrations of Attar’s Divan)
Journal Title: Poetry Studies - Year 2022, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Attar (537-627 AH) is one of the most prominent poets of the great mystical school who has the most subtle and refreshing spiritual thoughts and the most beautiful spiritual experiences in the field of mystical worldview has left. In many of his sonnets, a kind of story or event is depicted that expresses the sudden spiritual transformation of a mystic or a seeker of the path. Among his sonnets, which include 872 sonnets, about 70 sonnets have a special and different structure from the rest of the sonnets. In these lyric poems, which express a kind of intuitive experience and are considered as the randan and bullying lyric poems, almost the same situation occurs on Attar or his elder. This state, which is a kind of mystical event and a personal and inner perception, is "the expression of a spiritual experience that implicitly refers to the attainment of unmediated knowledge of the senses and intellect, and requires the creation of special psychological conditions resulting from asceticism and austerity." (Pournamdarian, 1390: 17). Although such a theme can be deduced in most of his sonnets along with other themes of his poetry, but in these few sonnets, they have their own construction and function.
