This study delves into the works of the Turkic poet Osman Kemal Efendi, commonly known as Osman Kemali. He was a devoted disciple of Jalal al-Din Rumi and a memorizer of the Quran. Rumi's profound engagement with rational and transmitted sciences, literature, jurisprudence, hadith, Quranic exegesis, and the sayings of Imam Ali (AS) provided the fertile ground for the emergence of the most exquisite panegyrics dedicated to Imam Ali (AS) in the Persian literary tradition. This influence has also inspired Osman Kemali's poetry to be crafted in an ethereal style, embodying a genuine affection for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS). The significance of the present research lies in the introduction of a poet unreserved in his expression of love for the household of the Prophet. The primary objective of this study is to examine the extent to which Osman Kemali's poetry is influenced by Rumi. The research methodology is predominantly library-based, supplemented by interviews in certain sections of the study. The theoretical framework is grounded in discourse analysis, drawing on the ideas of Fairclough (2001). Findings indicate that Kemali's poetry is deeply influenced by Rumi in terms of theme and meaning, and it can be posited that the meter of his verses closely resembles that of Rumi's. In contrast to Rumi's poetry, which incorporates both personal and impersonal pronouns, Kemali's work is characterized by a restriction to personal pronouns. Another salient feature of Osman Kemali's poetry is his use of allusion; he employs verses, hadiths, and even Rumi's poetry as allusions throughout nearly all of his works, following Rumi's stylistic approach

The discussion of moral virtues and vices is one of the common ideas in the moral and mystical beliefs of ancient Iran and India. According to the idea of dualism, vice traits are caused by the forces of evil and darkness, and good traits are influenced by the forces of good and light. Avoiding vices, especially the vice of anger, is emphasized in this common thought and its expression in Avesta, Pahlavi, and Manichaean works of ancient Iran and the works of Vedic, Brahminical, and Buddhist literature of ancient India. In the Shahnameh, the battle of these two forces of good and evil can be seen in the thoughts, words and actions of the characters in Ferdowsi's stories and words. In Mawlavi's Masnavi, there is a battle between good and evil in human existence. In this research, the attribute of anger in ancient Iran and India has been investigated based on Shahnameh and Masnavi, with a comparative and analytical method. According to this study, anger is used in the two concepts of the demon of anger and the vice of anger in the works of Iran and ancient India. We can see the reflection and influence of these two concepts in Shahnameh and Masnavi. Therefore, the research shows that the devil makes people feel demonic through the unpleasant attribute of anger and moves them away from the group of goodness and light and closer to the group of evil and darkness. Now, this anger can have a demonic face or a blasphemous quality. Therefore, by analyzing the evidence of the works, we have shown that Ferdowsi and Molavi, as two great poets of the Islamic period, have well expressed these concepts of ancient Iranian and Indian thought in the Shahnameh and Masnavi, and have adhered to the continuity of their ancient Aryan culture.

The story of Layli and Majnoon is one of the most famous love stories in Persian literature, which has Arabic roots and has been transfered from Arabic language and literature into Persian. Nezami is the first Iranian poet who translated this story into Persian. After Nezami, other poets have also recreated this story under his influence.The story of Lily and Majnoon, like many other cultural traits, has spreeded through different cultures through Persian language and literature and its cultural activities with the literature of the tribes and people who were enteracted with this culture and language. It has also been recreated in their languages and literatures.In Balochi literature, two stories can be found that are narated with Layli and Majnoon impression.The first is a story called Layli and Majnoon or Layla and majna and the other is the story of Hani and Shaymorid.The first story is not very famous, but Hani and Shaymorid is the most famous love story in Balochi literature. This poetic story, like many other old fiction poems in Balochi literature, does not have a specific poet. The narrators have narrated its narrations in different dialects, but naturally there are differences in the details and the number of poems and the number of verses of its narrations. Hani and Shaymrid has significant similarities with the story of Layli and Majnoon, which can be investigated from the cultural interactions and literary impressibility perspective , considering the constant interactions of Balochi literature with Persian language and literature. Just as Nezami’s Layli and Majnoon has been influenced by the social and cultural context of Nezami's society in comparison with the narration of the same story in Arabic literature, Regarding the story of Hani and Shaymorid it is noticeable that the characteristics of the social and cultural context of the host society has influenced that and transformed to an expression of its social trait. In fact, Hani and Shaymorid can be considered as the Balochi version of Layli and Majnoon.

During different historic periods, Land of Iran has been invaded by alien tribes and Iranian written works such as religious, scientific and historic books have been subjected to detruction and demolition for several times. Many historical evidences have referred to background of this issue and at the same time they testified that Iranian cultural written hertage has been subjected to recovery and revival by rewriting or repeated compilation and translation. And also during Islamic period, many scientific, historic and cultural writings and translations were intellectual heritage of great civilizations like Iran and Greece where Greek heritage, of course, has also included Iranian teachings because of Mecedonian Alexander’s Invasion to Persia. In this paper, we intend to consider historical documentations in this regard by exploration into cultural developments in the field of written works.
