Comparing Rouhal- Amin's Laili and Majnoon to Nezami Ganjavi Laili and Majnoon

This paper not only aimed at introducing Rouh al- Amin Shahrestani to literary men and researchers but also compared Rouhal- Amin’s Laili and Majnoon to the poem of Laili and Majnoon by Nezami Ganjavi in order to study the areas of difference and similarity of these two stories in respect of narration, structure, and word. Rouh al- Amin followed the great philosopher, Nezami in his poetry, and undoubtedly, he benefited the experience of his former great masters in his imitation in a way that he mentioned and admired Amir Khosro Dehlavi, Jami and Sanaee who were Nezami’s imitators. The purpose of Rouh al- Amin in composing the poem of Khosro and Shirin was to remove the weaknesses of Khosro and Shirin by Nezami. Also, he had the same idea about Laili and Majnoon and changed the narrative style of the story. However, all over the book, Nezami’s trace in using word, meaning and concepts could be found, and if there had been any differences, they could have been related to the different styles of the poets in narration.
