This article studies Sanai’s views on the four domains of definition, status, and criticism of poetry, in addition to the bond between poetry and religion. In his definition or interpretation of poetry, he opposes the element of imagination and considers it to be the opposite of research. In his poems, Sanai has at times observed poetry and religion to be against and at other times to be in line with each other. Sanai, in his works, has criticized poetry and poets. The root causes of his criticism include plagiarism, rise of poets from among common people, and hollowness of some poems.

Keywords: Imagination in Sanai’s poems, status of poetry in view of Sanai, religion and poetry in Sanai’s poems, plagiarism and unsophisticated nature of poems of classical poets
