Mathnavi Taghdis written by Mullah Ahmad Naraghi has imitated Mathnavi Maanavi and abundant subjects have been studied and analyzed from the mystical and religious viewpoints similar to Molana's Mathnavi. In this paper, the effect of Quranic stories and other former texts on Mathnavi Taghdis and Mathnavi Maanavi has been analyzed based on Genette’s Periphertextuality theory. Findings of this paper show that Mowlana and Naraghi have utilized Quranic stories, folklore culture, former mystical texts etc. Explaining the form and thought of their narrations, this paper investigates the abovementioned narratives. Therefore, their work is result of intertextual relation in which they have established with other texts according to Genette.
