Abstract :
The poems of the great poets reflect the conditions of their time, and in the meantime, due to the closeness of the poets to the rulers, as well as being sympathetic to the people and coming from the body of the society, the behavior of the rulers and their type of government is clearly manifested in the works of the great poets of this land. Rulers have a significant impact on reforming or corrupting the society and, as a result, the lifestyle. Tyranny rule is an act of corrupting the lifestyle, and in order to reform the society, the government must be reformed. In the history of Iran's past government, the people were the herd and the ruler or the king was the shepherd, which is clearly evident in the hadiths of the elders. Another important point is that the power of a government comes from its popular support, and the ruler is actually the trustee of this valuable support, which he should be grateful. In this article, using the library method and using the works and documents of the discussed poets, including Ferdowsi, Rumi, Saadi and Hafez, as well as the works of prominent scholars who have addressed these great men of Persian literature, indicators of the history of government and governance were identified and be introduced.
