One of the ways of defamiliarization is using paradox. Poet converts routine and slang language into literary one by this technique. Beauty images which paradox make and its effect depend on impressions, emotion and ideas of its user. During all ages of Persian Literature, these kinds of imaginations and has been created by different poets, however, Sanayi Ghaznavi is the one who applied broadly such imaginations and concepts in his poems and has used Paradox that no one can reach him. In Arabic literature paradox is also seen in Ibn al-Arabi poems which are resulted from the combination of mysticism and literature and Evolution of literature from simplicity to complexity which are the most important factors in paradox development in Arabic Language. In this study, paradox is analytically and descriptively analyzed in Sanayi and Ibn al-Arabi poetries in two levels of linguistic and semantic. The results of study show that paradox in Sanayi poetries is more than Ibn al-Arabi, and also its frequency is more seen in semantic and imagination forms than in Ibn al-Arabi poems.
