Comparison between the poem Khosrow-name attributed to 'Attar and the poem Khosrow va Shirin by Nezami (12th century). The article aims at showing a series of analogies between the two poems, traced both on the literary-stylistic level, and on the historical background of the narrative. A relationship between the two poems is evident, though for the time being it is impossible to state which poem depends on the other.
