Abstract
Resistance literature serves as a reflection of the embodiment of truth and a wellspring of enlightenment. Resistance poetry can be likened to a poem with two guiding principles: "justice and freedom," while simultaneously acting as a guardian of human dignity (Ismaili, 2003: 79). The literary works of any nation narrate the unfolding events within that nation, and poets and writers bear a profound responsibility in this regard. Their duty is to depict and immortalize the occurrences transpiring in their society. These individuals are conscious of their role in shaping their society's destiny and do not merely stand by as passive observers. Among these dedicated poets is Abbas Moshfegh Kashani. Abbas Keymanesh, born in 1925 and known as "Moshfegh," is a prominent figure in contemporary sonnet composition. His style is influenced by Iraqi traditions, occasionally infused with elements of Indian style. Moshfegh Kashani, for the most part, adheres to the tenets of classical poetry, except for adapting his content to align with religious and revolutionary ideals (Kakaei, 2006: 36). Moshfegh Kashani, alongside other poets who sought innovation within the confines of traditional Persian poetry during this era, maintains the mental framework of their sonnets consistent with conventional sonnet structures. Moshfegh is notably recognized for composing numerous poems after the commencement of the imposed war, focusing on themes such as the holy defense, martyrdom, sacrifice, and the heroic exploits of warriors (Beigi Habibabadi, 2003: 1105). Given that Sirang's poetry collection encompasses Moshfegh Kashani's resolute poetry, featuring verses dedicated to revolution, religious figures, martyrdom, the holy defense, liberated individuals, and veterans, among others, this research centers its analysis on this anthology.
