A Comparative Analysis of Sharif Razi and Mohtasham Kashani's Eulogies

One of the applications of comparative literature is that it calls for similarities and differences in form، structure، and content in the works of different writers. Mohtasham Kashani in Persian literature and Sharif Razi in Arab literature have composed poetries on the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. Although the grievous event and the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his faithful followers in Karbala is the salient poetic subject of Shi''ite poets the language and views of these two poets are to some extend different from others. This article deals with the sorrow within Kashani and Razi''s poetry based on narrative- historical، narrative-political، emotional، imaginary، moral، and philosophical aspects.
