Abstract
What is certain is that the motifs of banishment of the soul, descent, captivity, forgetting, awakening, liberation, and returning to the original principle are not emerging themes related to Islamic mysticism, but are much older. Undoubtedly, “The Hymn of the Pearl” is one of the oldest Symbolic stories in the world; the themes mentioned in it have been expressed in the fewest words beautifully, with many meanings, and with a coded language, and they have also influenced the mysticism of the world. The essence of the thought of The Hymn of the Pearl is Gnostic, which can be seen in the opinions of Manichaeans, Buddhists and Christians. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the effects and morphological and lexical reflection of The Hymn of the Pearl in Hafez's thoughts and poems. The researches show that Hafez, along with sympathizing with the themes of the Hymn of the Pearl, in a spiritual journey, which started from eternity, punishes and educates the soul until, like the prince of The Hymn of the Pearl. Finally He should separate from his body and return to his familiar homeland and present the burden of trust to his eternal lover. This research has been done by descriptive, comparative, analytical and library study methods.
