Bridging Tradition and Modernity: The Evolution of Persian Poetry

Author(s) Mr. Md.Nadeemul Ghaffar Siddiqui
Country India
Abstract Abstract
This paper examines the transformation of Persian poetry in the twentieth century through a comparative study of She‘r-e Nō (New Poetry) pioneered by Nimā Yūshij and She‘r-e Sepīd (White Poetry) developed by Ahmad Shamlou. While Nimā’s innovation lay in reconfiguring the metrical and formal structures of classical Persian verse without fully abandoning tradition, Shamlou’s contribution represented a radical rupture from inherited norms, rejecting classical ‘arūz and creating a rhythm grounded in syntax, imagery, and semantic intensity. The analysis focuses on three dimensions—form, metre, and themes—highlighting how Nimā expanded poetic expression to embrace narrative, symbolism, and existential modernity, while Shamlou employed prose-like fragmentation to articulate political resistance, collective struggle, and human dignity. Drawing on critical perspectives from Katouzian (1999), Bashiri (2003), Zarrinkoub (2003), Algar (2011), Yarshater (1988), Hillmann (1984), and Talattof (2000), this study situates both poets within broader debates on continuity and rupture in literary modernism. It argues that She‘r-e Nō represents modernization within tradition, whereas She‘r-e Sepīd embodies a revolutionary break, together forming the twin pillars of Persian poetic modernity.
