Abstract
A highly popular poem of Hafez opening with ‘zolf Ashofte o khoui karde va’, starts with such an unexpected turn-up of ‘the beloved‘ that many researchers have considered it as traces of an implied metaphorical love in the poet′s works. In this article, having examined the early literature on this type of emergence of ‘the beloved‘ and communication with the beloved, the researcher has indicated how poets′ recounting of this experience varies according to their worlds of thinking as well as their competence and mastery in language and arts. The range of variations in poets′ reflections and interpretations is as wide and sharp as their conceptualization of ‘love’ itself. Also, in this analytic study, the readership is exposed to the essence of thoughts of Sanaee, Attar, Moulavi, and Hafez and awarded the opportunity of a friendly visit to these poets. Meanwhile, this study may be considened as a search for the geneology of Hafez ′s above – mentioned lyric poem.

Abstract
'Beauty and Heart' (Per. Hosn O Del) or Directions for Lovers (Per. Dastour Ol Oshaq) is a versified Persian allegory by Fattahi Neyshabouri (Death: 825 A.H. /1446 A.D). This allegory has attracted many oriental scholars and has been translated into several languages. Also, it has been imitated eight times in Persian and ten times in Turkish. Mystical and loving themes, great number of symbols and variation in themes have made the allegory an interesting book for further study. The poet tries to employ body organs and lyric metaphors to encode his ideas in the narrative style. The overriding theme of Beauty and Heart is the clash between reason and love as a recurrent topic of Persian Suffism. The poet portrays the victory of love in this clash along with the lover's sufferings. This paper provides a critical summary report of the story and a biographical account of Fattahi so that more light is shed on this mystical allegory and, in so doing; more avenues of research are opened up.

Abstract
Vis and Rāmin, by Fakhruddin As'ad Gorgani, is one of the first love poems in Persian literature that has been morally rejected in the history of Persian literature as it is the first story of marital infidelity in both ancient and Islamic Iran. Regardless of the poem’s content, one cannot deny its literary, social, and cultural values as well as its unique status among the ancient works of Persian literature. Although the poem has immoral content, there are reasons behind the immoral actions of the characters in the story that need due attention to some points for the analysis of the poem from a moral criticism perspective. They comprise knowledge about the poet and the society, religious beliefs affecting the actions of the characters, and the four main themes of the poem: “pleasure”, “fatalism”, “conflict between seniority and youth” and “love”. Vis and Rāmin can be considered as a literary example of art for art’s sake doctrine and morally as an example of the moral relativity of the characters in the story.
