Abstract
With considering and comparative study of Dvn-e Šhams and Masnavi-ye Ma'navi
common thoughts and contents can be seen at both of these magnum opuses. Some of
these common thoughts have been come in summary and obscurity at Dvn-e Šhams
and very detailed and clear at Masnavi-ye Ma'navi. Therefore comparing and collating
these two opus magnums and applying their common points is effective at removing the
poetical obscurities of Dvn-e Šhams.
This article is searching the common ideas of these two masterpieces and is trying to
present explanations for some of the verses of Dvn-e Šhams by calling Masnavi in
evidence, at the same time.
