Abstract :

Undoubtedly, one of the glorious manifestations of Persian literature is Maulana Jalaluddin Balkhi (604-672AH). Although, as he deems himself a follower of Sanai and Attar Neyshabouri in Persian literature and mysticism, he is considered as the leader of all poets of mystical poetry. Melted in wisdom and love, Rumi lived in the seventh century AH, and due to migration from east to west of Iran, he remained obscure from historians and the rest of poets. However, during ninth century Abd al-Rahman Jami (817-898), a prominent mystic and poet, introduced Rumi in his memoir "Nafahat al-Ons", and provided the readers with useful biographical information about the poet, his family and his masters. From the ninth century onwards, Rumi's enthusiasm increased in the central and eastern lands of the Persian speakers. Of course, Sheikh Ajal, Saadi, because of globe-trotting, in his own words in "Boostan", went to "Rome" with friends, to visit Rumi, " The wise mystic", who is an exception to the ignorant, yet unaware of Rumi’s greatness. It is from the second half of the ninth century that Rumi's admirers rush to Konya to visit his tomb, and the poets of Persian literature engage in "imitation", "estimation" and "thematization" of his lyric poems and Masnavi. Mystics began to describe Masnavi and poets embraced his passionate poems warmly. The researcher in the present article in a "descriptive-analytical" method intends to introduce a number of great figures of Persian literature, from Saadi to Saeb, who have followed Rumi in lyric poetry.
