Abstract

“Hosn-o-Del” is one of the mystical romantic stories of the Persian literature that
inspite of including a large number of literary beauties and the unique method of its
composer in using a romantic story to indicate the different steps of the internal
journey and the journey to God; it has not been paid enough attention by the
researchers and literary men so far.
This article is an attempt to introduce some of its notable mystical and literary
points to the fans of Persain literature and Islamic Mysicism & Sufism.
Sibak-e-Neishaburi’ s use of romantic expressions to indicate the steps of the
internal journey, his opinion about “ love”, the relationship between “love ”and “ logic
”in his story and finally the effect of Nizami, Ferdowsi, Hafiz, Sohrevardi and Kershen
Mesher’ s works on his story ; are the most important points that have been reviewed
in this article.
