تغابن لعل و روز بازار خزف (نقدی بر یک نقد)

The purpose of researches published in scientific journals has always been to solve a problem of a specific field of knowledge. Recently an article titled:” Rhetorical and Stylistic Critique of Hafiz’s Quatrains”, has been published in a journal. The title is really astonishing as many years ago Late Amin Riahi has proved in his book “Golgasht” that the quatrains brought in Hafiz’s Divan do not belong to him. Now it is not clear why Hafiz, who had never been known for writing quatrains, be criticized and then it is decided that he did not have enough skill for writing them. It is the very surprising title that encourages us to continue reading the article. After reading the text, one will find that it is incorrect interpretation of the authors that cause them to find fault with the quatrains, that by chance are not Hafiz’, and to pass a judgment that is against him but at the same time is unfairly favored by the authors. The purpose of this research is to present a fundamental and content assessment of the said article and specifying its shortcomings and weaknesses that are clearly evident in it.
