Abstract

By looking at the works of Persian poetry and prose, we can see that the influence of the
Qur'an in Persian literature is very wide. In different periods of Persian poetry, poets
have benefited from Quranic verses in different ways. Indian style is a suitable platform
for the prosperity of Ghazal. By composing a large number of ghazals, Abdul Qadir
Bidel Dehlavi is one of the most famous poets of the Indian style and a pioneer in
ghazal writing, who gave formal and meaningful development to ghazal. The main
difference between his ghazal writing and other great ghazal poets of the Indian style is
the monotheistic and mystical aspect of his works. Bidel Dehlavi is one of the poets
who considered Quranic verses in his poetry. This research, which deals with a
manifestation of Quranic verses in Bidel Dehlavi's sonnets, can be useful in the field of
understanding the dimensions of Bidel's poetry and the extent of the poet's influence
from the Quran.

Keywords: Bidel Dehlavi, Persian poetry, Quranic verses, Indian style.
