Abstract 
 
The Persian tradition of literary criticism believes that through Sanayi Qaznavi, the Persian poetry penetrates through the strict and narrow borders of nobility and pleasure-seeking materialism of the courts; stepping towards the modern domain of wisdom and intermingling with the public. It also seems that Sanayi Qaznavi’s role is considerable in the elaboration of the poetry’s principle regarding experimentalism; that is in addition to creating a serious change both in the content and approaches of the Persian poetry. Such issues are usually neglected in our literary criticism. While Sanayi revolutionized both the content and motif of sonnets, he also directed it towards achieving experience. In this relation he created sonnets that possessed his own mystical and inspirational insights which as a matter of fact blocked the path of imitation and repetition in the Persian sonnet. In this way Sanayi became a successful pioneer for the next great poets who appeared after him, such as; Attar, Sa’adi, and Hafez. The author intends to survey the principle of experimentalism in Sanayi’s sonnets in order to show his originality in poetry and sonnet in the domain of verses’ structural cohesion and unity of meaning; the mentioned cohesion is created through maintenance of inspirational experiment and its recreation in the poetic language.
 
 

Keywords: literary criticism, Persian sonnet, Sanayi Qaznavi, originality of experiment, cohesive structure.
