Alchemy of Love: One of Nezami s Universal Messages

One of the major problems in today s hectic world is that people have no time to think about the man and his role in the universe. They are constantly trying to move forward without paying any attention to the detail, the correctness of the step, and everything which is ahead of them. It seems that previous philosophers have more time and patience in this matter and have given more attention to it. One of these philosophers and poets which has the power of language and use it to explain his lofty thoughts is Hakim Nezami Ganjavi. He has paid attention to public concerns and givenrecommendations for their improvement in all his five treasures which are ordered in succinct wise words. One of Nezami s pivotal thought through his works, especially in Khusrow and Shirin and Leili and Majnoon, is love, the love which exists in all particles and leads to the continued existence of theuniverse. The love that alters the existence of those people trapped in low intentions and aspirations and transforms them to the world of kindness. This paper discusses this issue and its impact on two poems, Leili and Majnoon and Khusrow and Shirin, as Nezami s global message.
