Abstract

Lyrical concepts have a special place in Eastern literature, especially Persian literature. To the extent that those who have a spark of love in their hearts have instantaneously turned to poetry and literature. Amir Khosro Dehlavi and Nezami Ganjavi are poets whose lyrical concepts are one of the main themes of their works as virtual love has been one of the poetic themes of Amir Khosro Dehlavi's poems. His works have a high place in Persian lyrical literature. However, in each period of common Persian styles, these elements have undergone changes; nonetheless, Dehlavi's interpretation of love is a continuation of the interpretation of Iraqi style poets, that is combination of real and virtual love. Examining lyrical concepts in Amir Khosro's poems is significant regarding the extensiveness of lyrical works. This research is accomplished by a descriptive-analytical method by relying on the data of library sources. The findings of the research indicate that the lyrical concepts in the poem of Majnoon and Leyli by Amir Khosrow Dehlavi are pure and free from any arrogance; also, depending on the emotional state of the poet, he is either kind and generous or arrogant and indifferent towards the lover. These lyrical concepts can also be seen in the poems of Leyli and Majnoon of Nezami and its illustrations.
