Farrukhi Sistani is one of the first Persian poets whose Taqazzols (Sonnets) are broadly full of emotional words. In this article –written in document mining style– the elements of lyrical language in Taqazzols of this poet has been described and analyzed. A simple syntactic structure, context validity of several Taqazzols, the application of proverbs, and having no complex intertextuality relation, have led to a simple language through which, the addressor has transmitted, explicitly, his/her emotions and feelings to the addressee. On the other hand, the addressor, having addressed the message to himself/herself, has given an emotive function to the language; this trait has been pointed out by some kind of lyrical narrative and internal monologue. In the context of his Taqqazols, the poet has also used different types of foregrounding for the sake of lyrical language. And through all these characteristics, emotional states of the addressor can be very well observed. The poet has also strengthened text music through various parallelism (syntactic, linguistic, and phonetic), and this music of the language, which is in tune with the content of the text, has led to the integrity of the literary work and the unity of its effect. Both the content and language harmony of these Taqazzols indicate the sincere expression of poets’ feelings.
