Abstract

Khosrow va shirin is the best romantic Mathnavi of Nizami and the old Persian literature. The kind of Nizami's use of story elements in this work is one of its triumph secrets. If we compare this book with the other romantic mathnavis, the value of Nizami's work will be appreciated. The relevant use of the tone element is one of the positive features of using the story elements. Using verbosity and terseness is one of the main examples of the tone element. In this essay we are going to study the extended verbosity and two of its technics in Nizami's khosrow va shirin; furthermore, we compare the use of this element in Nizami's work with Amirkhosrow's khosrow va shirin.
