Amid the variety of literary genres, lyrical literature as one of the oldest poetic genres encompasses a vast spectrum of human emotions and feelings. Among the literary figures of this country, Nezami Ganjavi shines as the one of the most brilliant stars of our classical literature in terms of composing love stories, romances and Saghinameh, and therefore is highly regarded. Among his works, the three romantic verses khosrow and Shirin, Laily and Majnoon, and the grand work of Haft Paykar are considered as the most significant lyrical works in the Persian literature. In this article, two domes of Haft Paykar as examples of the most beautiful and enchanting lyric-epic romantic verses have been selected and structurally analyzed. For this purpose first the theoretical principles of narratology and morphology and Props functions in this domain were presented then, the narrative structure of two tales namely the tale of the unconscious city and the king in black from the first dome and the story of good and evil from the sixth dome based on Props’ narrative model is analyzed and compared respectively in terms of morphology, motifs and characters.
