Earth is the symbol of coldness and renewal, the dead go underground to renew and reappear in a new form; in other words, the earth is the mother of the universe and the soil is a ground for fertility and human life. According to many verses of his poetry Divan as well as his Masnavi Hadiqat al Haqiqa, Sanai Ghaznavi is well acquainted with the ancient culture of Iran; the mythological themes are reflected in his poetry. By using descriptive-analytical method, the present article intends to examine the mythological themes related to earth in the works of Sanai Ghaznavi. The results show that Sanai, relying on rich sources of Iranian mythology and Islamic culture, has well illustrated the myths of life and creation from the earth in his works; also, he was also fully aware of the relationship of the four elements, including soil, with other elements and with the four temperaments.
