A comparative study of two mystica l odes by Aviccina and Bardsiri Kermani

The belief that the soul originates from the celestial world and is imprisoned in the material world as a result of neglect is a fundamental belief in mysticism. the sophis try to purify the soul through knowledge and wisdom before it unites with the God in the afterworld. Aviccina focuses on this purification in his Ode (Einieh) and the Persian poet, Bardsiri Kermani, does the same in his long piece of poetry(Mesbah-ol-Arvah) and follows the example of Einieh. makes use of several terms and themes of Islamic mysticism including vesal, Boka, Bareqe and Hejab similarly references are made to light and darkness.This paper comparatively explores the theme in these works.
