Erfaniyat Dar Adab Farsi

Khagani is a famous poet, but he is hard to be known in the history of Persian literature. Contradictory statements in his poems have long been a focus of researcher’s concentration and most of the critics have considered contradictory concepts and their reason in his poetry. This study, at first, considers and criticizes researchers’ view as well as contradictory conceptions in Khagani’s poems according to moral criticism. Secondly, it attempts at scrutinizing the reasons for such contradictory statements regarding his time and his poetry. It seems that egotism, self gloring, inferiority complex and the condition of  poet’s time are among the main reasons of his contradictory statements.
