Abstract

The Nizami Ganjavi’s influence is evident in most of the works written after the sixth century. Contemporary poets are no exception to this category and while establishing an inter-textual relationship with Ganjavi's works, they have expanded the meanings of their poetry. This descriptive-analytical article is based on the assumption that ancient texts are not completely forgotten over time, but are reproduced in later texts in various ways. Mohammad Hossein Shahriyar is one of the poets of our time who has been greatly influenced by language, art and Nizami’s thought. Although the poetics of Shahriyar and Nizami’s poetry are not very close to each other in terms of relationship and proximity, Shahriyar has been able to use some aspects of Nizami’s poetry intelligently. In the present study, we have first dealt with the way Shahriyar is mentioned and the way he looks at Nizami’s personalities and works, and then we have pointed out some of the thematic, linguistic and artistic similarities between the two. Shahriyar's main influence, according to him, is from Nizami’s descriptions and paintings. Shahriyar defines painting in the light of the standards of Romanticism. Painting in this sense is the leafing of a specific image or subject that can be seen similarly in the middle of military stories. It is probable that Shahriyar was also inspired by Nizami in his Ascension and Children's Book.
