| Description |
In this article, the author analyzes the form and formation of the rubai distich genre, reveals the content of the rubais, and reveals its rhythms. The rubai genre in the works of Persian-Tajik classical poets appeared before the invention of the Arabic aruz meter (the metric system of Tajik-Persian versification, VIII century) and was widely distributed among the peoples of Ajam. Rubai essentially has its own precise rhythm. It is composed to the rhythm of six-eighths music, and its lines begin with one long syllable due to the beat and consist of three full measures. The scheme of the true form of the rubaiyat can be determined by this scheme: – / – V V – / – V V – / – V V – /. That is, its lines consist of 13 syllables: 7 long and 6 short (see rubai "Nomat Shunavam" by Rudaki). It can be concluded that the rubaiyat, before it was introduced into written literature, was already widespread among the people, especially its rhythm. Rubais has many varieties. Such genres of poetry as gazelle, masnavi, and poems, etc., are not written in the rhythm of the rubai. Probably, in the statehood of Iran and Central Asia, where the majority of Tajik people reside, we do not find a poet who would not have composed several rubais. Because the rubai is one of the favorite genres of classical poets and contemporaries of the Persian-Tajik peoples. |
