| Abstract:
Sanai and Mohammad Ghazali are among the eminent literary figures whose works brought about a turning point in the mystical legacy of Persian literature.
The present article, as a comparative study of how these two poets view the concept "tanzieh", seeks to investigate if Sanai has drawn upon Ghazali`s points of view or he has been on his own in this regard. Although intended just to be about tanzieh, the article highlights Sanai`s approach to Ghaznavi`s works as well.
To be suggestive enough, it deals with comparisons in the light of Sannai`s creativity on such basic matters as tanzieh and simile, firmament dwelling, interpretation of Quranic verses and religious sayings, and the Creator versus man and his sins.
