Abstract

Literary works, especially the poetry of poets, are a reflection of the social and cultural conditions of their time; since artists have keen insights and insightful thoughts, they explore the situation of society more carefully and highlight its irregularities in their work. In Persian literature, the expression of these shortcomings, disorders and dissatisfaction has been called "complaint". This type of poetry has a significant place, especially in Persian literature. Emad Faqih Kermani is one of the prominent poets of the eighth century AH who has unique beautiful poems in the form of ode and lyric. Examining "complaint" as a theme in his works can play a significant role in recognizing the social situation of this period. This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and relying on library data. The findings of the research indicate that in the poetry of Emad Faqih Kermani, the poet has artistically raised these complaints and criticized the situation of the society of his time. Reflecting on the complaints of Emad al-Faqih, it can be seen that the political situation prevailing in the poet's era has been the basis of his greatest dissatisfaction. This displeasure is reflected in themes such as the humiliation of dervishes and the needy, the feeling of worthlessness, the humiliation of grace and art, the criticism of the structure and political agents.

1. Familiarity with the position of social and cultural grievances in Persian poetry.
2. Investigating the reflection of Emad Faqih Kermani's social and cultural complaints in his court.
Research questions:
1. What is the role of social and cultural grievances in the content of Persian poetry?
