We know that Sahrasub is a form of Persian poetry. As defined by lexicographers, it refers to praise and satire composed by poets about the people of a city. The term shahr-angīz, also meaning sahrasub, denotes a type of poem that includes praise or satire of the majority of a city’s people. However, sahrasub or shahr-angīz is also used to describe poetry that details the craftspeople of a city and praises their professions and trades.
(Dehkhoda Dictionary)
Moreover, Sahrasub is described as a poetic form that addresses transformations, disorder, or the state of order/disorder in a city or country and its people. It is a type of verse that narrates political or economic turmoil or the conditions of different social classes in a satirical or humorous tone.
(Mahjoub, Iranian Folk Literature, 1163)
The inspiration for the volume Sahrasub is drawn from this tradition of sahrasub-poetry in Persian literary history, composed at the station of today’s turbulent times and contemporary language.
