" Dirham Stealing By Sword In a Couplet of Abu Hanifah Eskafi

There are many poems in Beyhaqi''s History (Tarikh-e Beyhaqi). From the whole 459 couplets which have been referenced in Tarikh-e Beyhaqi، 249 couplets (4 complete Odes) are from Abu Ḥanifah Eskafi which has been highly regarded Beyhaghi. Two of these four odes have written ordered by Beyhaqi and it seems that some of these couplets will be slightly artificial. In one of these custom odes that are related to the death of Mahmoud of Ghazni، short reign of Amir Mohammad and the reign of Amir Masoud، Eskafisays in describing of Mamdouh''s sword: “Your blade steals Dirham; so you prisoned it in the enemy’s skull and feed it from his brain”. Some commentators of Beyhaqi''s History consider this couplet as a vague couplet and they have not meant it and some of them have meant only the word of “Zavar’’ incorrectly. In this article، after analyzing the words “Dirham’’ and “Zavar’’، and components of “Dirham stealing’’ and “Dirham stealing by sword’’ there is a new meaning for the mentioned couplet which eliminates the ambiguity of it. This theme is in different ways at the poem of other poets.
