There are many similarities among various poems composed by Nima Youshij. This characteristic is seen in the works of some other other poets. By composing “Ghoghnoos” in 1316, Nima opened a new era in his poetry. Two of his successful poems (one short and the other long), called “Vay Bar Man” (1318) and “Serivili’s House” were composed in this era. Coordination of the words and the artistic link between the components have strengthened the structure of these two poems. Due to the fundamental similarity between the two poems, “Serivili’s House” is considered to be a re-creation and re-composition of “Vay Bar Man”. In other words, “Vay Bar Man” acts as a bridge to “Serivili’s House”.
In the article, instances of these similarities, like similar timing, location, main character and similar behaviours of the characters are explained in detail.
