Abstract

Qalandrisera poets have used the form of ghazal in different ways to express their personal experiences. One of the types of Qalandari ghazal has the shape and structure of a story, and the poet, using all the main elements of the story, expresses one of the adventures that happened to him or the old man of the monastery, and after meeting and talking with his friend and lover, he undergoes a change in the present. or his view of existence has changed, he has paid attention. Based on the story of Hallaj or Pir Sanan, this type of sonnet shows how to change Sufism and ascetic mysticism to Sufism and romantic mysticism. Qalandaran's ghazal-story sometimes has an independent form, and a ghazal is dedicated from the beginning to the end to telling the story and drawing conclusions from it, or it starts from the middle of the ghazal in an episodic way to embody one of the main mystical ideas.This type of ghazal has a symbolic language, it ends with a conclusion and a closed ending, and it often expresses the mystic's personal experience from the perspective of the first person, and in the middle of the story, by using the tricks of the narrative center, it gives a dramatic aspect to its expression.
