Abstract :

Sixth century is one of the most glorious periods in Persian literature. This glory in literature paved the way for a special style of rhetoric which is later called religious poetry. One of the most famous poets of this period is Nezami Ghaznavi, whose style followed by other poets after him. Nezami’s poem is highly technical wreathed by vast scope of knowledge and skills of the poet. We can see the reflection of Islamic science in Nezam’s poetry. He also makes use of his full familiarity with juridical science in providing figures of speech, creative imagination and multiple form and style. In this paper, we have tried to explore this influence of Islamic juridical issues on Nezam’s poetry.
