The Skilful Use of Koran in Sanaie Ghaznavi's Poetry

Our didactic and lyric literature, especially in mysticism has employed the true message of "plain truth"(quoted from Koran), in such a way that perusing these woks purges man's heart of darkness and fills it with absolute truth. In this respect, Sanaie, Attar, Moulavi, Sadi, Hafez, and many others who utilized such spirituality in their works have become immortal. Sanaie, the father of Persian mystic poetry, is one of the greatest literary men of Iran. He has portrayed his artistic skills in an ode by employing the words of the Koran and tradition and this is the focus of the researcher's analysis. Sanaie Ghaznavi, in a delightful and appealing ode, has embellished the lines with traditions and the Koranic verses. He applies these embellishments not only to the a-verse of each stanza but also to the rhyming parts of the second stanza in the form of adaptation, allusion, Alteration, and quotation. What is evident in the poet's work is his comprehensive knowledge of Arabic literature.
