A study on "Zaari" translation of Nezami's " Leyli-va- Majnun

Nezami, is one of the greatest story-teller poets of Persian literature whose poems are always followed and welcomed by other poets. Zaari, a Kurdish poet, is one of those who has translated Nezami's “Leyli-va-Majnun” poem into Kurdish language. In this paper, “Leyli-va Majnun” of both Zaari and Nezami have been comparatively studied and our research is conducted in three parts: elision and conciseness, accretion and alteration. In the first part, called elision and conciseness, some of the anecdotes within the Nezami's “Leyli-va- Majnun”, are being omitted in the Kurdish translation, and some of the descriptions have tendency for brevity as well. In the second part, accretion - being just two instances- it seems to be the further justification of the two events of the story that makes the poet add these two parts. In the last part which is the alteration, it is found in the details of the story, not in the general structure or the sequence of its events.
