Taskin is one of the authorities of poesy in which the poet can use a long syllable instead of two short syllables, but taskin inverse choice (the two short syllables instead of one long syllable) is not true, in terms of prosody researchers. However, in the poetry of the old and more recent periods, poetry is seen where taskin inverse choice have been used. Taskin inverse, although apparently in imitation of Arabic poetry (transformation a Mafaeelon to Mafaelaton) but often are used in revolving meters (dawri) that specific for Persian poetry and through vav (o) e gheyr e dawri, with transformation a long syllable center hemistich into two short syllables, the meters of “ouble Mafoul o Faelaton” has changed to the “Mafoul Faelat o Mafaeel o Faelaton” that as history in the lyrics of Moezzi, Attar and Awhadi and especially Khaghani, and also this option of meters Hazaj e Akhrab”Double Mafoul o Faelaton” is evident in the poems of Khaghani & Ghavvami. Taskin inverse choice sometimes has applied to elements of Mafaylon and Mafolon and changed this elements to Mafaelaton and Moftaelon that is used in poetry of Molavi and Hazin Lahiji. This paper, examining the various poetical works, concludes as follows: For distinguishing whether or not the dawri of the poetries that has mixed meters with dawri and non-dawri is relying on the couplets dominant meter, First, we recognize original meter if the original meter was non ـ dawri should applied dawri for other couplets, and this is the result of Taskin choice usage. This blending in Mozare e Akhrab verb root meter, observed in the poems of Anvari, Khaghani, Athir and Seyf, that by use of Taskin in the middle of some non ـ dawri verses with meters “Mafoul o Faelat o Mafaeel o Faelaton” changed their meter to dawri “Double Mafoul o Faelaton”. This subject is more fancy than musical. But if the original meter was non-dawri, should be verses meter that are dawri the result of Taskin choice usage. Sometimes, poets by using Taskin inverse choice in the middle of some dawri verses, and cause them to become non-dawri, and have been combining two meters in a poem. The musical fancy in Hazaj e Akhrab meter “Double Mafoul o Mafaeelon” is evident in Khaghani & Ghavvami’s lyrics and also has seen in the Mozar e Akhrab verb root meter “Double Mafoul o Faelaton” in poetry of Moezzi, Attar and Awhadi and above all in Khaghani’s poetry. Taskin inverse choice is more evident in Khorasani style poetry and in odes more yield from the non-dawri “vav” (o) that can be removed “vav” (o) which became a fancy and writing, changed the meter to dawri for more melodious. In that case, the reduced heavy meter and meters of both lines was dawri. In sonnets mostly the word of the middle verses connects the last syllable of the second pillar to the first syllable of the third pillar. Thus Manipulation hypothesis scribes, the “vav” (o) in the middle of the hemistich, is null at least in these sonnets. Taskin inverse choice or to follow the Arab prosody or unconsciously, are used in Mafaeelon element in Mawlawī poetry and in poetry Mafoulon pillar doleful and some contemporary poets. This choice in pillar is permissible under two conditions: first, that it does not become irregular pillar, but to become the same pillar. Such as: Mafaeelon to Mafaelaton or Mafoulon to Moftaelon. Second, it was not be in place rhyming because may change rhyme syllables. Taskin is also for the same reason, should not occur in the rhyme syllable and if does, he should be upheld in all verses couple. By accepting the fact that “Mostafel o Mostafel o Mostafal o Fa” is the original meters of quatrain, the problem of Taskin inverse choice is canceled in quatrain meter.
