Discovering oil in 1908 and establishing first oil well of the Middle East in the homeland of Bakhtiaries, Masjed Soleyman, have influenced that area and paved the ground for the British colonial presence in this area. Although native Bakhtiari wanderers early worked as the work forces in the oil facilities, they soon understand intelligently that they were seized for the colonialists' goals. The sense of oil ownership of their homeland, patriotism, and their disloyalty to the Pahlavie's government strengthen their distrust to the imperialists. This paper has considered anti-colonialism aspects in dialectical poem of Masjed Soleyman Resurrection, the most popular poem between Bakhtiaries, with sociological viewpoint. The result of this paper is as follows: Speech of the presence of colonialism and using oil of their ancestral land. Speech of the injustice of employers in deal with natives. Declaration of the lost generation. Declaration of the Pahlavi government.
