The aim of this research is to provide a brief introduction to the life and achievements of one of the most important contemporary poets of recent Iranian history. He was not only a poet but also a journalist, writer, researcher, congress representative and minister. Literary scholars consider that Mohammed Taghi Bahar is the last great poet of " classic " Persian literature. It is true that Bahar is known mainly as a poet, but I wish to indicate the ways in which he was a patriot who cared about Iran, was interested in Iran's destiny in the twenty century, who wished for an independent, globally respected Iran, who longed for the glorious past of the Persian Empire and wished for the awakening of his countrymen and on the whole a true progressive citizen. Talented as he was in poetry, his poetry was a means to express these wishes thoughts and concerns. Since Bahar's life was a period of turmoil and changes in Iran’s history - the constitutional revolution, a change of dynasty ( Qajar to Pahlavi), World War I, World War II, the abdication of Reza Shah ( the founder of Pahlavi dynasty), and his replacement by his son Mohammed Reza during WWII- Bahar’s life has traditionally been divided into four periods: first period from the death of his father until coup d’etat of 1914, second period from 1914 until 1920, third period from 1920 until 1941, and fourth period from 1941- the abdication of Reza Shah until his death. The focus of this paper, after a brief history of Bahar’s biography, will be the third period of his life from March, 1920 until September, 1941.
