Abstract :
As all literary scholars know, one of the features of Indian style is the discovery of foreign and unfamiliar meanings and layered images along with new themes. Indian style, with all its features, is a great source of motifs; motifs from every realm that cross the reader's mind. The Indian poet uses all the capacities of language and literature to achieve his goal. One of these linguistic capacities that helps the poet in creating innovative themes is the language and belief of the common people. Saeb, as one of the prominent poets of this period, has employed common motifs in the field of medicine and treatment at the center of his poetic associations and has built a group of his poetic images on it. In this article, an attempt has been made to introduce the most prominent common motifs in the field of medicine, which plays an important role in the lives of ordinary people. Then, attention has been paid to the features that have caused these motifs to be at the center of Saeb's attention. Besides that, the elements that these motifs have associated and the poetic images they have created have been mentioned with examples.
