Sanai's Defense of Poetic Integrity and Divine Inspiration in Chapter 10 of the Hadiqat
In Chapter 10, Section 10 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai asserts the spiritual supremacy and integrity of his poetry. He claims the title of a true 'hakim' (wise poet) whose verse serves as a direct exposition of religious law and faith (sharah-e shar' va din). Sanai contrasts his divinely inspired, truthful, and greed-free (bi-tama') poetry with the worldly, reward-seeking verse of pretentious poets, arguing that those who devalue his work are spiritually blind to its sacred significance.
