Contemplation on Jalal Tabib Shirazi's Divan

The impact of other poets’ works on Hafiz’s poetry is remarkable. This great poet has skilfully and appropriately utilized contents and meanings of poems by other poets in his works and has justly done it in a worthy way. Therefore, In order to study the origins of Hafiz’s poems and to represent his dominance in making eloquent poems, it is necessary to consider those poets’ works and to compare them with Hafiz’s words which demonstrate some of his ability in eloquence. The author of this article aims to study Jalal Tabib Shirazi’s Divan in this regard. To this end, an authentic copy of Jalal’s Divan was required. Fortunately, Dr. Pourjavadi has recently provided this possibility by revising and publishing a copy of Jalal’s Divan based on an illegible manuscript which has been found as an annotation on another manuscript and also by referring to other sources. What is represented here is the result of contemplation on this collection of poems. In the case of being accurate, there would be a hope of being considered by the scholars in future.
