Poems in Indian style are worthy of note due to their rich images، as in terms of word concept they are similar to the English metaphysical poems of the 17th century. Such poems have brevity، delicacy، and are predictable by complex concepts. Hence، having a powerful structure and a recurrent philosophy، they are considered to possess complex stylistic features matched with the mystic secrets of life. This style is the product of the thoughts and feelings of poets with profound scientific and philosophical knowledge; therefore it requires a distinctive audience. The main features of this style are profound philosophical contemplations، vernacularism، an addressing tone through such devices as simile، metaphor، personification، antithesis، and pun، whose manifestations are noticeable in the literary vocations of John Donne and Saeb Tabrizi، that is to say، these two poets hunt the reader’s mind. This article comparatively studies the selected works of John Donne and Saeb Tabrizi for some of the eminent instances of the above stylistic features.
