Abstract :
Paying due attention to poem's musical elements (such as rhythm, rhyme, Radif) helps the reader to perceive the meaning as well as poet's feelings better. Specially, it is the case for rhyme which is the most important manifestation of music accompanying the poem and it plays a significant role in transfer of the meaning. Investigating such poetic elements not only helps to better make sense of the poem, but also evaluates poet's strength in writing poems. Iqbal Lahouri, a famous Iranian poet, has used rhyme as any other Iranian poets as an instrument to express his emotions and his desired meaning and this study attempts to investigate the musical role of the rhyme by applying an analytical-descriptive approach and by relying upon poems within Iqbal Lahouri's Javid Nama.Strong and various structures of the rhyme, the impact of rhyming letter's resonance in compensation of metre limitations, the expression of the poet's desired emotion, phonetic consistency of verse components with rhyme letters as well as Iqbal's use of imagery devices and creation of artistic rhymes have been evaluated in this study as the main reasons for Javid Nama's poems ear-catching rhymes.
