Introduction Saadi, Hafez, Shah Nematollah Vali and One of the fundamental themes of others. The most beautiful images of this Persian poetry and Sufi literature is the issue thought, it can be seen in different ways. of the confrontation between wisdom and Aside from what has been written in non- love. Anyone who has written a few poems Persian Sufi poetry in this book, some of of poetry is referring to this issue, whether them are written in the same way as the this thought is the result of his personal book "Samarat al-Sattq-e-Mostaq al-Aqsa" reflection, his personal experience or the or "Rashuf al-Nisa'ih al-Ammaniyah and imitation of the common practice. Khedah al-Fahlajeh Elioniya". When we look at the history of the "One of the fundamental beliefs of evolution of Persian poetry, we find that this the mystics and the Sufis is that" the science confrontation as a thousand-year-old theme of love is not in the office ", and what the has always been present in the thoughts of hallway and seeker wants and wishes, not our poets. In the Persian mystical literature, through science and reason, not by the way we also do not know the effect of the order of thinking and reasoning, which is only and the prose that is without this thought of through the heart. It is achieved with the conflict and conflict of reason with love and mode of intuition and revelation, and this is mysticism. The topic of the confrontation of where not only the mystics and Sufis choose the IRGC with love and affection and the a path other than the way of scholars and triumph of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, philosophers, who teach their path with from the beginning of the formation of satire. This is also where the words and poetic literature, Persian verse was wisdom, office, and knowledge are counted, introduced by Sanai in the sixth century and and office and slacking are considered to be in the second period of his life, and then a favored way, and if the papers are followed by him in the poetry of the divans matched, they will be entitled to a slogan; of mystical poets such as Attar, Maulvi, they will go to see the place instead of International Journal of English Language & Translation Studies (www.eltsjournal.org) ISSN:2308-5460 Volume: 06 Issue: 04 October-December, 2018 knowing. insight; take the place of the intellectual sciences, as well as the culture of scientist; the lesson of non-verifiability is mystical terms and expressions”. Love has said, the words are said, and the defined love as an intense desire and passion measurement of reason and love with the for something. Also, in the other small intention of a number of reason and a philosophical culture developed in Arabic, large number of love is raised in their words love is meant for intense love (Khalili, 2006, "(Rastgoo, 2004, p. 247). p. 26). As to the Arabic root of the word There have been several studies in "love" and where it was derived and relation to "love" in the works of Feyz adapted, it reads in the book "Love is Kashani; however, there is no study derived from love, and it is the plant that investigating the relationship between dries on the trunk of every tree that is wisdom and love in his works. For example, twisted, and it remains refreshed itself. So in a study by Asadolahi (2008) on love in any love will dry up on any one that casts up Feyz Kashani's book of poetry, there has except the beloved and fades it and weakens been a thorough focus on different aspects of it and turns away the soul and heart" the book of poetry such as love and worship, (Khalili, 2006, p. 27). the prejudice of love, love and pain, among Allameh Jafari said Love cannot be others, but the study considers the defined scientifically because it is neither relationship between wisdom and love tangible nor sensible. While affecting two marginally. Yet, in another study on love realms (senses and wisdom).

Finally, According to Molasadra Shirazi, love there was no such study on Fayyaz Lahiji, exists in the whole world. Love is more too. Therefore, the current study aims to fill intense in humans, which is related to this gap with regard to poetries written by relationship, knowledge and love. Feyz Kashani and Fayaz Lahiji.
