Abstract
A highly popular poem of Hafez opening with ‘zolf Ashofte o khoui karde va’, starts with such an unexpected turn-up of ‘the beloved‘ that many researchers have considered it as traces of an implied metaphorical love in the poet′s works. In this article, having examined the early literature on this type of emergence of ‘the beloved‘ and communication with the beloved, the researcher has indicated how poets′ recounting of this experience varies according to their worlds of thinking as well as their competence and mastery in language and arts. The range of variations in poets′ reflections and interpretations is as wide and sharp as their conceptualization of ‘love’ itself. Also, in this analytic study, the readership is exposed to the essence of thoughts of Sanaee, Attar, Moulavi, and Hafez and awarded the opportunity of a friendly visit to these poets. Meanwhile, this study may be considened as a search for the geneology of Hafez ′s above – mentioned lyric poem.

Abstract
The similarities between Moulana's (Roumi) poetic style and Surrealism have been widely studied for many years. After reviewing the relevant literature, this paper revisits the topic more intensively and cites some supporting arguments to that claim. To this end, the similarities between the above styles are discussed from two perspectives. First, the similarities between Moulana's views concerning poetry are compared against those of the manifesto of surrealism. In the second part, the distinctive features of surrealist imagery in Moulana's poetry are portrayed. Then, it can be convincingly argued that what Andre Brereton and his contemporaries (1924 -1930) presented about madness and self-directed writing, marvelous phenomenon, the spark nature of poetic discourse, etc. in their poetic manifesto in Paris had indeed been experienced and realized in poetry by the great Persian Poet Moulana Jalal Ol Deen Mohammad Moulavi (604 – 672 A.H.) as early as eight centuries ago.
