Abstract
The concept of homeland and its derivatives such as: homeland, land, country, etc., is a vital concept for Iranians and has undergone many political and social changes throughout history. Many poets tried to include these concepts in their poems due to their importance to the people and courtiers. In places, the poems of Hakim Toos, Malek al-Shoara Bahar, and Farrokhi Yazdi feature the concepts of patriotism, sacrifice for the homeland, etc. In contemporary times, poets used the concept of homeland to stir people's emotions and help them overcome tyranny. In Ferdowsi's poems, the homeland is a utopia that is protected by heroes and intellectuals. However, in the contemporary era, the homeland has become a country under socio-political influences that no longer has the glory and greatness of the past and is involved in corruption, tyranny, foreign interference, and domestic traitors. In Ferdowsi's poems, the homeland has a glorious aspect, but in the poems of Bahar and Farrokhi, the homeland is involved in many problems. In this article, we will examine the concept of homeland in the poems of these three great poets, examining the differences and similarities of the concept of homeland in the poems of these three poets. In the rest of the article, you will see how the concept of homeland has lost its high position over the years.
