A Comparative Study of the Texts of Nahj ul-Balaghah and Sami Baroodi's Poems of Wisdom

Comparative studies in literature has led to a method by which human view on literature has been transformed and, therefore, links of literature works and writers of different nations have been studied and reveling sources have been discovered. Mahmood Sami Baroodi is regarded as contemporary leader of Arabic poem. Comparative study of Imam Ali`s speeches in Nahj ul-Balaghah and Sami Baroodi`s poems of wisdom is an attempt based on comparative method taken from the French school for surveying Baroodi`s impressionability or non-impressionability of Imam Ali`s speeches in Nahj ul-Balaghah, Dorar ul-Hekam and Mizan and the way and measure of this impressionability. As is understood, Baroodi in his poems of wisdom has paid attention to and been affected by Imam Ali`s speeches. High degree of the impressionability has been taken place in the form of recreating Imam`s contents of speeches in his poems. As Baroodi has praised Imam in his poems, we, therefore, may regard Imam`s speech as a source of Arabic contemporary poem.
