This article first studies the process of the formation of the art of emulation by examining its development and evolution in both Arabic and Persian literature. Then the article would compare and contrast the emulated poetry in Arabic and Persian. The hypothesis is that Persian emulation, like many other poetic forms, comes from Arabic literature. Thus the fundamental question is “How to examine the nature and quality of the similar and common features and issues of Persian and Arabic emulation?”. Thus the literal and literary senses of emulation are first studied, and then its representative examples in Arabic and Persian poetry and prose are listed. In this section, such subjects as echo, parody, burlesque, takhmis, and tadhmin are relevant examples that are introduced as the common devices in both literary traditions. In the manner of a conclusion, an analytical treatment of these writings is conducted, taking into consideration their positive and negative implications and effects.  

Keywords: Poetry, Emulation, Imitation, parody, Debate
