Abstract:
Bayati is the predominant form of lyric poetry in the Turkish language. Bayatis have various themes (lyrical, social, historical and religious) and for this reason, they are recited in numerous celebrations and ceremonies. Bayatis are also a mirror of the beliefs, customs, temperament and aspirations of the Turkish-speakers and they are therefore of great importance. Fortunately, in recent years, in the light of popular literature in different parts of the country, good researches have been done on Bayatis, especially the Bayatis of the Azerbaijani people, but a close examination shows the Bayatis on other Turkish-speaking areas, including Zarandieh in Markazi Province. But no special research has been done and for this area, in this article, the villages of Hakimebad, Qasemabad and Sadrabad villages of Zarandieh city have been collected by field method and reviewed by content analysis method (descriptive-analytical approach). In this study, it has been determined that there are more than one hundred Bayatis with different themes in these three villages, but lyrical Bayatis have the highest frequency. These Bayatis, like the Azerbaijani Bayatis, are four-syllable and syllabic, but because in some of them the quantity of syllables is not observed, pause and break play an important role in arranging the melody. Most of them have rhymes; Like many Turkish Bayatis, the first shutters are the introduction and the main theme is expressed in the final shutters. Most of the characteristics of popular poetry, including the simplicity of words and language, the scarcity of literary terms and the uncharacteristic nature of the poet, are generally not much different from the Azeri verses.
Machine summary:
Fortunately, in recent years, in light of the attention given to folk literature in different regions of the country, good research has been conducted regarding Bayatis, especially the Bayatis of the people of Azerbaijan; however, careful investigation shows that no specific research has been carried out regarding the Bayatis of other Turkic-speaking regions, including Zarandiyeh County in the Central Province.
For example, Zarandiyeh County in the Central Province is one of those regions where this type of poetry is prevalent, and even now, many old men and women, middle-aged people, and youths have examples of these poems in their memory, and whenever they feel a certain mood, they recite a number of these Bayatis and sometimes shed tears while reciting them.
Based on this, in this article, with a look at the form, structure, and theme of Bayati, the lyrical Bayatis of Hakim Abad, Qasem Abad, and Sadr Abad villages of Zarandiyeh County have been discussed in terms of structure and content.
