Abstract

Parody as an efficient literary craft has always been of interest to writers and poets of acountry throughout the life of writing.Khawaja Hafez Shirazi,the famous Iranian poet,whose poems have not only attracted public and artistic attention in his own country,but have also been able to spread his poetic fame to other lands and have had transnational effects.The Ottoman Empire is one of those lands where good-natured statesmen and tasteful poets and writers opened their arms of welcome to Hafez and his poems.In addition to being influenced by the themes in terms of the art,science,and aesthetics of poetry,they have also consciously,more than intentionally and boastfully,placed the poems of this Iranian poet in front of their eyes like a great encyclopedia of poetry and have performed parody or imitation.Researchers of these lines,with access to existing sources,In this context,using a descriptive-analytical method and library study,the quantity and quality of a number of Ottoman Persian poets' parodies of Hafez's poetry have been examined in order to further understand the valuable influence of Persian language and literature, especially Hafez's poetry,on the vast Ottoman land.A study of the existing components in this field shows that most Ottoman Persian poets did not make any innovations in most of their poems,but rather experimented by relying on rhetorical and grammatical issues,especially by taking advantage of the axis of substitution and association of words in the text However,afew Ottoman poets,with greater familiarity with Iranian poetry and literature in various forms,welcomed Hafez Shirazi with apassionate and artistic language and expression
