Abstract

Sohrab sepehri, the great contemporary poet, is completely familiar with Islamic ERFAN. The influence of Islamic Erfan on him is obvious in “Shargh-E-

Andouh” set. Additionally, his trips to far east temples made him familiar with Buddhism, Zen and their mystical ways; to which he mentions in his book “Blue Room”. Though Islamic mysticism, Buddhism and Zen constitute Sohrab Sepehri’s basis of mysticism; but one should say his mysticism is not a combination of these paths. Rather, Sohrab Sepehri transcends all the three and reaches his unique wisdom. The extremity of Islamic mysticism is reaching the position of observer, those of Buddhism is “samadi” and those of Zen is “Satouri”. The poem of “Vahe-EI-Dar Sokoot” is also reaching intuition. Sepehri in this poem reports his intuition. But his intuition unlike other mentioned sects, rather than being the world of divinity, is in the world of materiality (Nassout), and rather than being in skies, is in the terrain. He is sitting on the terrain, reporting his intuition. Sepehri, like any great poet, resides in his emotional world. The present paper is an analysis of this historical sanctuary, Sepehri's "settlement base"
