Abstract :
Lover, s life and story has always been used by narrators and storytellers , therefore love stories have covered a large port of literature in different countries. Laili and Majnoon is cosidered as one of the oldest and thr most famous Arabic stories that has greatly influenced the expansion of love stories in Persion literature . At the end of the 6th century AH, the arrangement of romantic stories by Nizami Ganjavi reached its highest peak. He versified several famous stories of his era in such a way that most of romantic versifiers, knowingly or unknowingly, were affected by his style and method of narration. One of his glorious poems is Layly and Majnoon the root of which should be searched in Arab literature. The story has been imitated in different languages several times by poets. In this study, after providing some introductory grounding, the author tries to briefly present the historical- social roots, time and place of the story and the date of its propagation in Arab and Persian literature. Then by paying attention to a brief explanation of the Arabic narration accompanied by Nizami Ganjavi's version of the story, he attempts to make a comparative, analytical criticism of the cases.
