Abstract

Amir Khosrow Dehlawi has composed a roughly famous verse
which is closely examined in the present study: “Ze daryāye shahādat
choon nahange lā bar ārad sar/tayammom farz gardad nooh rā dar
rooze toofānash”.In this poem, Amir Khosrow has intended to convey
“Lā of Shahādah” which is previously employed by Sanai and other
poets in an attempt to create novel senses. Undoubtedly, Amir
Khosrow was already familar with these applications of present word.
Such great Sufis and poets as Nur ad-Din Abd ar-Rahman Jami have
attempted to write their own interpretation of this verse. Jami, the
extremely popular poet of ninth century, linked the theme of this verse
to the pantheistic thoughts of Ibn Arabi. It seems that his work is
written subsequent to reading the interpretation of Shyekh Muammad
Athiri Lāhiji. After pointing to the background of Amir Khosrow and
his thoughts, the current study presents the full interpretation of Jāmi.
