Investigating simile in Neyshabouri's odes and lyrics

Naziri Neyshabouri is the greatest lyricist in the Gorkani Mogolan period and one of the most famous poets in the tenth and eleventh centuries AH. But it has not been taken into consideration as befits this great poet. The present study investigated the techniques of using kinds of simile, their frequency and Neyshabouri's attitude to different kinds of simile in analytical-descriptive manner, in terms of eight forms of simile, content, elements, compound and singular, both parties of simile (sensational and intellectual) and theme in Naziri's odes and lyric poems. Statistical and scientific analysis of each of the similes will be presented to elaborate the aesthetic criteria of Naziri's poetry.
