Abstract
Sanaee is a Persian poet with his unique style in Persian literature. Poets are generally aware of the significance of his works and have attempted to uncover the hidden aspects of his poetry. Nostalgia is a technical term of psychology which has entered literature. Nostalgia or regret verses express the poet's and authors' regret about the past. This research initially attempts to present the meaning of the term nostalgia under collective and individual concepts and examines the functions of nostalgia in Sanaee's poetry. Also, the language functions of nostalgia in his poetry are examined.
