In the winter of 1778, an earthquake shattered the city of Kashan. Three poets, Āẕar, Hātef, and Sabāhi, responded to the disaster in verse. Although all three are commonly associated with the Bāzgasht-e adabi (Literary Return) school that championed the style of an earlier era, their poems display an affinity with more contemporary Safavid poetry, particularly that of Mohtasham Kāshāni. In their responses to the earthquake, the poets acted as agents of social order, helping their audience to cope with their loss by putting the calamity into more familiar religious and cultural contexts (such as comparisons to the death of Emām Hoseyn at Karbalāʾ) and enabling them to move forward into the future.

1778年冬天，地震摧毁了喀山市。三位诗人Āẕar，Hātef和Sabāhi在诗句中回应了这场灾难。尽管这三者都与倡导早期风格的Bāzgasht-eadabi（文学归来）流派有联系，但他们的诗歌与更现代的萨法维德诗歌有着密切的联系，尤其是MohtashamKāshāni的诗歌。在对地震的回应中，诗人扮演了社会秩序的角色，通过将灾难置于更为熟悉的宗教和文化环境中（例如，与卡巴拉拉（Karbalāʾ）艾玛·侯赛因（EmāmHoseyn）的去世进行比较），来帮助观众应对损失。他们前进到未来。
