Common Concepts, Symbols and Allusions in the Poetry of Islamic Revolution Poets about Palestine

Defending the oppressed and praising their resistance against aggressors and oppressors is one of the main themes of Islamic revolution literature. One of the subdivisions of this concept is composed poems about defending of Palestinian people and praising champions who fight against Zionism. Acceptance of these poems in Islamic revolution literature was so remarkable that a great number of poets have already paid attention to their different aspects, to the extent that this theme can be considered as one of subdivisions of Persian contemporary Poem. In the present paper, more than 300 poems of poetic collections composed by about 180 Persian poets in the form of Sonnet, Masnavi, Sepid, New, Ode, and Quatrain about Palestine have been studied by content analysis method and their semantic components have been classified into common concepts, symbols and allusions. The findings of the study suggest that if we consider Persian Palestinian poem- affected by the war in the 60s-, as epic, ideological, subjective and semantic- oriented expression, has closed to an elegiac, human-centered, objective and poetic atmosphere affected by translations and festivals in 70s and 80s
