Comparison of Mystical Love in the Poems of Safi Hirani and Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi

چکیده

Mawlana, Jalal al-Din Rumi and Safi Hirani are two knowledgeable and well-known Persian and Kurdish artists, who within their Ghazals the subject of love and its characteristics are evidently displayed. Although artists and experts of art have much examined and analysed the two poet’s verses, in the field of comparison and evaluation, few efforts were made with respect to mystical love in the work of the two poets. Despite the long time period between the lifetimes of the two artists, in this study we endeavour to highlight love and characteristics of love, and point out common and different features of the term of love. The results obtained from the analysis of the verses of the two artists reveal that the true love has some characteristics which are manifested in their work. Also the perspectives of the two poets concerning love are relatively the same.
