HISTORICAL FIGURES IN KURDISH POETRY; CEGERXWEN' POETRY AS A MODEL FOR THE STUDY

Abstract

The Kurds had a distinguished role in the different periods of Islamic history, and they were able to take over the reins of affairs in Azerbaijan during the tenth century AD. Two characters who had a distinguished presence, Desem and Salar, emerged. Through his poetry, Jigarkhwen wanted to employ these two characters in his poems as Kurdish heroes in Kurdish history. During the Islamic era, despite the historical enmity between the two personalities, Jigarkhwen tried to reconcile them and stood neutral in the conflicts that had taken place between them, and even invoked them in one poem sometimes to give indications and indications of the two’s Kurdishness and their symbolism as heroes of history characterized by courage and challenge.

Jigarkhwen succeeded in this recruitment in more than one poem and even in his flirtatious poems, with simple words with deep connotations, and the pride in them was the most dominant of most poems, wishing that the new generation would emulate them in courage and daring.
