Abstract :

There is a tendency for education and ethics in all periods of Persian poetry; what distinguishes poetry in different styles and discourses is the way poets and scholars express it. In Anwari and Nasser Khosrow's poetry, he is part of a teaching poem with the help of literary images made of constellations. The poet uses education to elevate the stars and the planets, to be in a state of sadness and so on. In military poetry, in addition to teaching poems, mystical teachings are provided with the help of these constellations and the foundations of astronomy. In this research, we seek to present a report on the way these poets express themselves. The research is based on a descriptive-analytical method and is based on library resources.
