Abstract
This article examines the role of music and musical instruments in the life and works of Fereydoun Moshiri, a contemporary Iranian poet. Music and poetry have always had an inseparable bond throughout history, and Moshiri, as a poet whose poems are full of emotion and simplicity, has used music as a source of inspiration and an integral part of his artistic worldview. By analyzing Moshiri's poems, this research examines the effect of musical instruments on his poetic space and the symbolic reflection of these instruments in his poems. Musical instruments such as strings, harps and drums are used in Moshiri's poems not only as symbols of Iranian culture and art, but also as a means of conveying deep emotional and philosophical feelings. This article shows how Moshiri, using music and its instruments, creates a poetic atmosphere and expresses human emotions beautifully. Also, this research seeks to answer the question of how musical instruments are used to express deep concepts in Moshiri's poems.
