Sheibani and blending panegyric with satire

Revitalization period in Persian poetry reached its apogee in Qajar Era. In that era, Shahs employed panegyric poets in their propagandistic Organizatisn and also poets paid more attention to panegyric odes following masters of Khorasani style. Meanwhile, Aboonasr Fathollah Khan Sheibani (1240-1308 Hejira) had a quite different position. At first he had been in the presence of Mohammad Shah and Nasereddin Shah and had panegyrized them, but he was sent away from the court, when Nasereddin Shah came to the throne, and wandered about different towns for a long time. Also he treaded on the dervishes Coarse for some times and finally engaged in Cultivating a desert around Natanz with the name of (Eshgh Abad) for 25 years,but it was also destroyed by some rebels. He complained against the unjustice in the capital, but it didn't yield any profit. All of these caused him to become one of the critics ofNasereddin Shah's era and distinguished. from other poets of revitalization Period. In this respect. I have tried in this paper to present a Short biography of Sheibani (with new findings), to review his style in blenling panegyric with satire , and to bring some evidence from other works in the fild of social status oflran.
