Baba Taher Hamadaniʹs Influence on Iraqi Style

Baba Taher Hamadani is one of the most well-known Persian poets of the fifth century. Researchers have not paid attention to him and his poetry as much as he really deserves. This is due to the fact that his poetry docs not share anything with the courtly poetry of his age, and thus, was bereft of all materialistic possessions. Despite this, one should not forget that general public recite and remember a lot of his poems. The aim of this paper is to study three aspects of this poetʹs influence on the succeeding poets, particularly those belonging to the Iraqi style era: incorporation, verbal, and semantic similarities. Even if we accept that these similarities are "connotative," they indicate that Baba Taherʹs thoughts and ideas have affected, and been employed by, other succeeding poets.
