Abstract :
The relationship between form and content in poetry during Roodaki's period was completed step by step. Still during Samanid era, the form determined content while the subject has found its form, such as strophe that was used to promote ethics and advice plus admonitions and wisdom. The form of ode was used mostly to describe nature, eulogy of prominent people, as well as philosophical issues. The lyrical form was used for expressing sentiments, poetic and lovely emotions. Therefore, in terms of Roodaki's poetry it is implied that he had been pioneer in explaining philosophical issues and a type of early mysticism. He had been able to compose poems in the available forms of that era including those forms dealing with reality recognition and explaining spirituality. Although he was at the very beginning of the road, there was no doubt that issues like morbidity, philosophical and humane issues, etc. by Roodaki was attended by the following poets.
