A Comparative Study of Love and Politics in the Poems of Sherko Bekas and Hamid Mosadegh

One of the important issues for understanding the poets is to trace the development of thoughts and themes in their poems, including their perspectives on love for conceiving the poets and the condition of their age. On the other hand, considering the relations between man and society in the present era, it is necessary to know the poets' approach to the events of the age and the effect that these issues have on their poetry and thought. With regard to the life and poetry of Hamid Mosadegh and Sherko Bekas both of whom have considered love and political issues of their age, the evolution of the two themes of love and politics in their poetry in Kurdish and Persian poetry is better understood. The result of this research shows that both poets have shared ideas in the love of their own homeland and their concern about its situation. In many cases, the love and the themes emanating from them in their poems are an introduction to political issues and patriotic poems. Hamid Mosadegh does not directly address the problems of the people of the age due to the closed and oppressive atmosphere after the August 19 coup, instead, he uses the techniques of mask technique to enter the conversation with the reader, but Sherko tries to bring his voice to the attention of the world with emphasis on contemporary historical events. The direct expression of the poet is based on the method of memory narrative and the enumeration of the natural elements of the Kurdistan climate. Love in Mosadegh's poetry tends to be more frequent with time, but the frequency of love in Sherko's poetry is low and serves his political thoughts.
