Studying Persian literature and poetry from the beginning of its formation to the present time
reveal that, Persian poets and writers like adoption of any other phenomenon and literary subject,
extensively use The Qur'an verses, anecdotes and proverbs in myriad ways. Such methods differ
both in overt/covert and artistic/rhetorical attitudes. To put simply, poets and writers’ derivation
and adoption occasionally differ from overt and covert forms in a way that some concepts are
easily available for almost all ordinary readers and some others are merely comprehensible for
sophisticated readers. Taghi Danesh can be considered among such learned writers. Along other
earlier mystical poets, Taghi Danesh the eminent poet of late Qajar and early Pahlavi dynasties,
was under the shining influence of The Qur'anic verses, anecdotes, Arabic proverbs in two
ways; overt form (derivation, insertion and allegory) and covert form (allusion and allegory).
In the current study, the researcher considers all Taghi Denesh lyrics and studies the ways he
was inclined by The Qur’anic verses, anecdotes and Arabic proverbs in covert and overt forms.
Hence, the ultimate goal of the present study rests on keeping the track the ways Taghi Danesh
reveals such inclination. The study arrives the point that effective derivation, insertion and drift
are absolutely vivid in his lyrical works
