Abstract :
The most famous Farsi ritual elegy is Mohtasham Kashani’s Āshūrá-content tarkib-band, which was continuously considered. The cultural and lingual effect of this elegy is more than just a poem; it was modeled and admired by experts. Mohtasham, sincerely, was inspired by poets before him; created an eternal piece. This article represented the goods of this poem and experts’ thoughts around it by analytical-descriptive method, and showed his influence by Khaghani Shervani, Ravandi, Hasan Kashi, Khajooi-e-Kermani, Azari-e-Toosi, Ibn Hesame Khosfi and others. In this tarkib-band the poet endeavoured properly and simply to add a combination of other poets’ goods to his poet, not mentioning God’s favour, Infallibles’ help, and encouragement of Safavid King. Studying its structure, no great piece, especially in literature field, can be created without gaining benefits of others’ remarkable pieces; and every type of literature has reached its peak in its stylistic life, it is set as a model for others, but its first acceptance is rarely repeated.
