Abstract

Mastered both Persian and Arabic languages, Nour al-Din Abdul Rahman ibn Ahmad Jami, nicknamed as Khatam al-Shoara, is a powerful Iranian poet of the 9th century AH. It is enough about Jami's mastery of Arabic language that the Fava’ed al-Ziya'iyya in Sharh Al-Kafia, left of him, are known as Sharh-e Jami in Syntax. In addition to valuable works in verse and prose in Persian and Arabic languages and numerous Persian poems, he has been able to write the themes of Arabic literature well in Persian language and also left behind Molamma’ poems, which is one of the valuable fields tested by Persian-language poets. Playing a role in the development and evolution of Molamma’ in his era, Jami’s poems of Molamma’ are the continuation of the poetry of bilingual poets. There always has been a question about the Persian-language poets' Molamma’ that in terms of structure and content, what role did they play in the evolution of Molamma’ industry and what innovations did they add to it. With this same question on the mind, the investigation of Jami's Molamma’ consisting the analysis of its structure and themes for achieving the degree of variety and innovation of Jami in Molamma’ was chosen as the subject of this article. According to this research, through making innovations in terms of the structure, Jami has experimented with different types of Molamma’s and created various themes of poetry, description, and praise as the subject of these Molamma’ types, which can be considered as a technique in poetry writing.
