Abstract

Love stories as the most important part of lyrical texts comprise a large part of the Persian language and literature. Studies conducted in the field of lyrical literature show that such stories dates as far back as to the start of the Persian poetry and works such as Afarin-nameh by BooshakoorBalkhi, Varqa and Gulshah by Ayooqi, and Vamiq and 'Azra by Unsuri. It is not difficult to gain information on lyrical texts and know the authors of such works, because so many studies have been conducted so far in this regard. Lyrical texts with religious approach are limited, to the extent that in comparison with large number of stories like Leyli and Majnoon, Khosrow and Shirin, Vamiq and 'Azra, and Nel and Daman with only lyrical aspects, there are a few stories like Soleyman and Belqeys and Yoosef and Zuleykha. The present paper studies a lyrical text written during Safavid time; a work that is unique and distinguished in nature. It is a rare of concurrence of religion and lyrical works; a love story with a totally religious theme. In addition to discussion the lyrical aspects of Uraynab love story in Praising Karbala poetry by ZakiMashhadi, this study attempts to analyze different aspects of the said work and compare them with the historical story of IbnQutaybahDinvari.
