The term mazmoun [theme] is one of the main keywords in the Indian Style [Sabk-e Hendi] of Persian poetry. This word, also used as a literary term since the fifteenth century in Persian poetry, is not synonymous with meaning, content, concept, intent, context, and diction in the literary terminology of Persian poetry. In the following paper, I try to examine the nature of “theme” as the Indian Style’s main literary element, its mechanisms, and how Persian poets and tazkirah writers of the fifteenth century employed the term. To this aim, the frequency of the early usages of this literary term from the late-fifteenth century to the early-seventeenth century has been considered. I have identified eight different characteristics of the term “theme” based on the Indian-Style poetry and the critical writings on this school at the time. Furthermore, I have differentiated three processes of constructing the “theme” based on three frequent verbs: to find, to reach, and to close. I will further point out the rising complexity of the structure of “theme” from Saib Tabrizi to Nasir Ali Sirhindi in the late-seventeenth century

Based on the findings of this research, in these praises, some rites and traditions of pilgrimage, such as enlightenment, funeral, carrying coffins, packing, thresholding, offering recommended prayers in the Razavi shrine, intercession, among others are mentioned. Another point worthy of attention in intercession in the Razavi praises of this period is the expression of material and spiritual needs and desires and a kind of request of poets to the eighth Imam, which in the poem of this period, entitled "Alias in praise of Shah Khorasan or Imam Reza Come". Regarding the condition of the pilgrims, points such as the crowd of pilgrims, the dusty heads and faces of the pilgrims, the breaking of the hands and feet of the pilgrims due to the crowd, the burial of a large number of people in the shrine, etc. are mentioned in these eulogies. This article using the descriptive-analytical method has shown the religious customs and traditions of visiting the Razavi shrine and the condition of the pilgrims in Mashhad in the Safavid period along with its representation in the Razavi praises. The reflection of these customs shows that the poetry of this period supports and continues the line of thought and religious policy of the Safavids against Sunni religious rivals such as the Uzbeks and the Ottomans.
