Abstract
Background and purpose: This research aims to examine the fragments of Saadi's divan for two purposes. The first purpose of this article is the stylistic analysis of the poet's pieces on three levels, linguistic, literary and intellectual, using a descriptive and analytical method, and the second purpose is to discover new points of his personal life through the content of the pieces.
Method: The method of this research is library, induction and statistics.
Findings: The distinctive feature of Saadi in the composition of the piece is its simplicity and fluency in all three levels. He inspires the audience with the most meaning in his compositions with the least expression. In terms of his personal life, new information was obtained about his jobs, his presence and absence in government courts, his travels, his children and his mood. Also, the similar themes of the pieces have been compared with his other works.
Conclusion: Based on the research done in terms of linguistic level, the words used in the pieces are in the field of politics, sharia, wisdom, and admonition codes, and on the other hand, we are not faced with lyrical codes. This statistical community leads us to the conclusion that Saadi's speech is more with the government institutions and then with the conscious human conscience. At the literary level, the original designs are very simple and straightforward. The amount of similes and metaphors is small and all of them are noticeable. At the intellectual level, he was in the service of court affairs for some time and boasted of his poverty, and sometimes used threats and satire to advance his demands.
