Nasrollah Mardani (Persian: نصرالله مردانی) (1948 - 2004), was a prominent Iranian poet. He was one of the influential poets in the years after the iranian revolution and one of the Ever-lasting Names of Iran in the field of literature and culture.[1] Mardani, under the influence of the new Ghazals of her fellow citizen poet, Mohsen Pezeshkian, turned to this style.[2] He is mentioned as the inventor of the epic lyric style.[3][4] The book Khoonnameh Khak from Mardani's books was selected as the selected book of the year in Iran in 1985.[5] Mardani can be considered one of the most prominent poets after the revolution in Iran. His tomb is located in Mardani Park complex in Kazerun city.[6]

Life

[edit]

Nasrollah Mardani was born on the 14th of January 1948 in Kazerun city in Iran and finished his education in the same city.[7] Mardani was fascinated by the poems of Hafez and Ferdowsi.[8] However, he was strongly influenced by the poems of his fellow cirizen, Mohsen Pezeshkian, and for this reason, he turned to the lyrical style. Before the revolution, Mardani was an employee of the Bank Melli Iran[9] and after the revolution he worked in the cultural departments of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.[10] His interest in Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i led to the National Congress for 9 years under the title Commemorate Allameh Tabatabai in Kazerun.[11]

Poetic style

[edit]

Mardani's poems were more epic and revolutionary. His poetic style attracted many government poets, so that the footprints of his compositions and images can be traced in the Ghazals of other poets of the Islamic Revolution.[12] Considering his past interest in Ferdowsi and Hafez, inspired by these two, he created a link between epic and ghazal. He was loyal to the classical and ancient forms of Persian poetry, in his poems dealt with themes related to the Iran-Iraq war.[13] Mardani also wrote many poems in Kazeruni accent due to his love for his hometown.[14]

Books

[edit]

Mardani wrote 12 books during his life.[15] Fire of Ney, Uprising of Light, Rule of Love, Fourteen Everlasting Lights, and Crest of Speech are among his published books. His book Khoonnameh Khak was selected Iran’s best book of 1985.[16]

[edit]

Nasrollah Mardani died on March 9, 2002 during a trip to Iraq in the city of Karbala.[17] His body was first moved to Tehran and was funeral in front of the Vahdat Hall[18] in the presence of officials and then, according to his will, he was transferred to his hometown Kazerun and buried in this city.[19] Ali Khamenei in a message called him a sweet-spoken and revolutionary poet.[20] Some of the country's senior officials also expressed their condolences on his death.[21]
