The Rulers of "Barjaste Hemistich"

A Selection of Indian Style Poems by Alireza Zakavati Gharagozlou, published by the University Publishing Center in 1372, was the first selection of Indian style poetry in Iran. A work that in its selection of Indian style poems went beyond Saib and Kaleem's poems, and presented other brilliant poems in this style from some unknown poets. In this article, we are talking about the second edition and the detailed and revised version of A Selection of Indian Style Poems that is Majmoo'eye Khial (a Collection of Fantasies). This new book includes selected ghazals of forty six poets from Baba Faghani Shirazi to Safa' al –Haq Hamedani, and was published by Nashrenow publishing house in 1397.
The following article first deals with the opponents and proponents of the Indian style, and then discusses some excerpts from the poems of Indian style poets from the book  A Selection of Saib Tabrizi's poems by Heidar Ali Kamali Isfahani (published in 1305) and other selections published up to 1397. Finally it is going to criticize and evaluate the book Majmoo'eye Khial (a Collection of Fantasies). In this section, while explaining the political and social situation in Iran after the Mongol invasion and Safavid despair, the characteristics of the Indian style and the ups and downs of this style are discussed. One of the most important advantages of the this collection compared to other selections of the Indian style is that the author's philosophical insight was the main criteria in choosing the poems, and the author has tried to reveal the "individuality" as well as stylistic and intellectual characteristics of each poet by reflecting on their individual and social thinking.
