Abstract :

Paradox is one of the literary tricks that is present in oral speech, philosophy, logic and even areas of human life, and it is a poetic combination of two words that have a contradictory meaning and seem intellectually impossible. In literature, this trick is one of the beautiful verbal arrangements that its beauty factor is in the astonishment that it creates in the mind of the audience. Khajoo Kermani is one of the powerful poets of the eighth century AH who has used this paradox very artistically in conveying concepts and themes; Therefore, the present study is dedicated to examining the paradox in Khajoo Divan. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical. The results show that Khajoo Kermani in his poetry collection looked at these paradoxes as one of the literary and poetic tricks and considered them from different angles and used various techniques in expressing these contrasting elements. And has provided the means to highlight his word.
