Reflection of Baroque in the Structure of Saib Tabrizi's Sonnets

To date، the Indian style of poetry has been known by many scholars and literary critics as comparable to the European baroque in the seventeenth century، to which it is almost contemporaneous. Consequently، many comparative studies can be found which have focused on the affinities between Persian poetry and the baroque school. In the present research، Sa''ib Tabrizi، who is acclaimed as the sole representative of the Indian style، has been selected for investigating his verses from a baroque perspective. Far from presenting Sa''ib as completely identifiable with the baroque in its entirety، by utilizing a structural analysis، the authors have tried to investigate some of the unique properties of the baroque، theatricality and chiaroscuro، in Sa''ib''s sonnets.
