Abstract
Undoubtedly, Khosrow & Shirin, composed by Nizami, is one of Iran’s, and actually, the world’s rich literary masterpieces. As a deep and rich literary work, which offers an artistic pleasure, it has the potential to be contemplated and pondered several times. Therefore through these devices and a close focus on its formal structure, intrinsic content, the rhetoric discourse in its texture, added to all the other concealed structural potentialities within it, the reader can discover valuable points in it. Since the form and structure of a poem develop simultaneously in a horizontal and vertical axis, in the survey of poetic perfectness a researcher should be able to study the form and structure of the created work independently and according to specific principles. For this reason, this article is devoted to surveying the concealed structural and formal potentialities within Khosrow & Shirin. The first part is an attempt for analyzing the structural potentialities which show themselves in the vertical axis of the poem. The second part surveys the formal potentialities in four separate axis. Understanding these two categories of potentialities implies the significance of this poetry; in addition to the significance of its new and even repeated studies.
 

Keywords: Nizami, Khosrow & Shirin, Khosrow & Shirin’s structure, formal potentialities of Khosrow & Shirin, narrative potentialities of Khosrow & Shirin, foregrounding in Khosrow & Shirin.
