Sana'i and Hafez's Confrontation with Sufism

The present research attempts to study the similarities and differences between Sana'i and Hafiz's approaches to life, poetry and Sufism attitude; In fact, "Sufism" is an independent variable and the way in which Sana'i and Hafiz encounter that dependent variable constitutes this research. The spirit of mysticism and spirituality arises from unworldly experiences in both poets' lives and works; but there is no valid evidence that any of them belong to the official communion and dynasties of Sofia. The forms of social life, such as poetry, etc., have not been avoided. Their free method of life and contents of poetries proves their desire to spirit, message of reproach and Qalandaria. Sana'i is the pioneer of mystical themes in poetry and his poetic presence has revolutionized the field of Persian literature in terms of form and content.
