Abstract :
Studies on the structure of romantic narratives in Persian literature show that a narrative grammar consisting of three elements of love, Beloved and lover, can be traced within the structure of this literary genre. Accordingly, one of the elements of expressing love in lyrical texts is "resorting to descriptions and images". But contemplation in lyrical texts of Persian literature suggests that such illustrations and descriptions are different, depending on the work being narrative or non-narrative as well as the views and attitudes of the poet. So the comparison of the descriptions in Saadi's ghazals with Nezami's Khosrow and Shirin (narrative text) clearly illustrates the fact., the study is to compare the descriptions in Saadi's ghazals with Nezami's Khosrow and Shirin. According to the results, the investigation of pictorial descriptions in Khosrow and Shirin and the descriptions of the beloved in Saadi's ghazals represent a dramatic transformation in Persian love poetry, which is more than anything else the result of changes in the attitudes and stylistic views of the two poets as well as the type of narration of the two literary works. Saadi mostly adheres to describing the apparent details and inner states of the beloved.
