<![CDATA[Safavid Dynasty (1501–1736) marked a vibrant era for Persian poetry, most notably through the rise of Sabk-e Hindi (the Indian Style)—a movement celebrated for its complex symbolism, fresh imagery, and philosophical depth. At the forefront of this shift was Saib Tabrizi, whose unique voice left a lasting mark on Persian literature. While existing scholarship frequently centers on the romantic and mystical dimensions of his work, his specific stylistic techniques remain relatively understudied. To bridge this gap, this study applies Geoffrey Leech’s stylistic framework to analyze two of Tabrizi's poems, translated by Rebecca Ruth Gould and Kayvan Tahmasebian. Employing a qualitative, descriptive approach rooted in textual analysis, this paper examines how Tabrizi utilizes diction, figurative language, and symbolism to shape thematic meaning. Supplemented by an array of scholarly literature on Persian stylistics, this research aims to enrich the broader field of Persian poetic analysis while offering fresh insights into Tabrizi's literary craftsmanship. ]]>
