Abstract :

  One of the most prominent characteristics of Hāfiz’s poetry is his use of paradoxical expressions. A paradoxical poem artistically relates two opposite or unlike things in some way. The present article, by taking into consideration the definition of paradox and its relation with the concepts of amphiboly, oxymoron and defamiliarization, tries to examine the paradox in Hāfiz’s ghazals.
