Abstract

One of the three main types of Persian epic poetry is the historical epic, which is more than seven centuries old and has continued until now. These works are important from two aspects of historical-political information and stylistic value. One of the epic works of the Afsharia period is the Shahnameh of Ahmad Shah Durrani written by Nizamuddin Ishrat Sialkoti, which is composed in 10476 verses. Since less attention has been paid to the epic works of the mentioned period, it is necessary to investigate and research in this field. Therefore, the aim of this research is to introduce and analyze the content style of Ahmad Shah Darrani's Shahnameh, an unknown historical epic system of the Afshari period. In this article, the researcher has analyzed the text of this Shahnameh in a descriptive-analytical way, using the method of layered analysis, in three linguistic, literary and intellectual layers. In terms of style, the poem shows that in this period, with the decline of the Indian style, a literary return has begun, and the poem was written with a return to the Khorasani style.
