Abstract

 
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.
