Abstract

Motif is one of the common terms in various sciences including literature, criticism, painting and other arts. This term is one of the notable cases in the discussion of terminology. In this article, qualitative and quantitative methods have been used to examine the theme and various motifs in the poetry of Farajullah Kamali, a poet from Dashtestani, in order to determine the style of thought and the impressionability by examining the motifs and the implicit meanings arising from them in his two poetry collections. His social issues, his type of worldview and his special attitude to the world and its issues should be identified and analyzed. Also, following the examination of frequent motifs in this article, the type of use of literary industries as well as the intertextual connections of the motifs of Kamali's poems with other poets have been investigated in order to determine Kamali's individual style. By examining the themes of Kamali's poems, it is clear that he, as a local poet, did not consider his audience limited to a specific region. In his poems, the traditional literary industry has taken a new form in the expression of a specific motif with the local language in a symbolic form. The fundamental recurring concepts and motifs in his poems are sometimes used to express emotional feelings, personal issues, as well as political and social concerns. Kamali's critical language in expressing motifs with the use of stylistic norms has created his special style.
