Mohammad-Taqi Bahār ( Persian محمدتقی بهار); ( December 29, 1886 in Mashhad - April 22, 1951 in Tehran ), known as Malek osh-Sho'arā ( Persian ملکالشعراء, King of Poets , originally his title as the chief court poet of the Shah) and Malek osh-Sho'arā-ye Bahār , was a renowned Iranian poet and scholar . He can be considered one of the greatest poets of Persian modernism . He was also a politician , journalist , historian and professor of literature . Although he was a 20th century poet, his poems were very traditional and marked by strong nationalism.
Life
As a writer and politician, he took an active part in the Constitutional Revolution of 1906. From 1916 he worked in the Society for Literature Daneschkade , which had set itself the goal of writing "ancient verses with new thoughts". As a professor at the University of Tehran , he was one of those who contributed to the further development of literary history .
He drew his inspiration from the life of his time - it was shaped politically, socially and morally. His spectrum of activity encompassed all lyrical forms, but especially those of the Qasids . He knew how to combine traditional elements harmoniously with elements of modern language (here archaisms ) with elements of everyday language (including dialects ). With his expansion of inspiration and means of expression, he exerted a great influence on 20th century poetry.
With the musician Morteza Neydavoud (1900–1990) he created the popular Iranian song Morgh-e Sahar .
