Review of Historical Resources for Two Lyrical Poems of  Khosrow - Shirin by Nezami and  Shirin -o - Khosrow by Amir Khosrow Dehlavi

In the present research, according to the oldest resources such as historical resources and documents as well as credible researches of this type, the historical context of the lyrical story of ‘Khosrow-Shirin’ has first been studied. Then, among historical issues such as story beginnings, conspiracy of Bahram Choobin and escaping of Khosrow Parviz, the end of Bahram Choobin, the story of ‘Treasure of the Wind’, kingdom of Shiruyeh, the end of Khosrow Parviz, and finally the way Shirin died which are mentioned so many times in several historical resources, this story’s lyric grounds have been reviewed in two lyrical poems of ‘Khosrow-Shirin’ by Nezami and ‘Shirin-o- Khosrow’ by Amir Khosrow Dehlavi. The final result obtained suggests that in this lyrical poem, Amir Khosrow was committed to the historical pattern more than Nezami was. Nezami makes strong bindings for his lyrical poems from historical framework and instead of paying attention to historical details, he pays attention to myths and wisdom and advice and beautiful poetic and lyrical descriptions. But Amir Khosrow, despite some researchers’ opinion, has paid attention to historical resources, and though, according to he himself, he has never reached Nezami’s level, he has attempted to be an innovator among other imitators of this great lyrical art, while keeping himself away from Nezami’s historical and legendary pattern.
