Abstract

verse by Amir Khosro Dehlavi

Abstract:
In the poem Shirin and Khosro by Amir Khosro Dehlavi (born: 651 AH, died: 725 AH), which was collected in imitation of Khosro and Shirin Nizami, there is a verse as follows:
I am a subservient for your slaves to worship
This verse in Shirin and Khosro, which was edited by Ghazanfar Aliyev and published by the Institute of Asian Nations in Moscow (1961) and also in Khamseh of Amir Khosro Dehlavi, which was revised by Amir Ahmad Ashrafi (1983), is the same as mentioned, means, in that verse, the above combination "Religion" is stated.
In the present research, which was conducted in the field and in the library, this researcher faced the question of whether there was any revision in the above work or not? Because the key words of this verse such as "servant", "subservient" and "maid" do not have a precise semantic relationship with "ritual worship or religion".
On the other hand, in the three manuscripts of Amir Khosrow's khumsa in the library of the Islamic Council, instead of religion-worship, low-level worship is mentioned to prove that it is a valid combination that Amir Khosrow borrowed from Nezami, but due to the low prevalence of this combination in Persian literature and the closeness of the writings of ritual and low in the manuscripts, it was corrected or distorted by the hand writers.
