Abstract :
A comparative study of common allegories in Molavi's Masnavi and Waladname. Waladname is a work in Masnavi form and an emulation of Molavi's Masnavi. This work which is in verse contains ethico-mystical intricacies and beautiful allegories and reflects a thorough image of physical and spiritual life of Molavi, his pupils and colleagues. Comparing these two works shows that Solatan Walad (623-712) is probably the first poet who could model his father's skill in composing mystical poems with allegories. The results show that a full understanding of Waladname especially its allegories depends heavily on understanding Masnavi and that decoding enigmatic phrases in the son's poems needs a full account of the father's work. This article is an attempt to introduce the influence and common aspects in creating allegories.
