Abstract: (554 Views)
The chaste love story of Qays ibn al-Mulawwah and Laila bint Mahdi in the Umayyad era is one of the famous love stories that has been widely reflected in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, etc. literatures. In this story, due to the excitement of love, Qays reveals the secret of his relationship with Laila, and this angers Laila's family and prevents their marriage. The story of Mam Alan is one of the Kurdish folk love stories in which Mam, the only son of the king of Yemen, loves Zin, the sister of Mir Zain al-Din, the ruler of the Jazir city, despite the wish of his parents, and the Baker devilish’s intrigues prevent them marriage. Ahmad Khani, organized this love story in his literary masterpiece entitled "Mam and Zin" and although he has been influenced by the folk tale "Mam Alan" in his poem, he completely transformed and re-created it. In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method and based on the American school of comparative literature, it is studied how the chaste love and its differences and similarities are reflected in the two mentioned works. The results of the research show that in both stories, the features of chaste love have appeared, with the difference that the end of Mam and Zin's story, unlike the story of Majnoon Laila, ends with a divine and true love. Based on this, the story of Majnoon Laila is just a love story, but Mam and Zin is a love and mystical story.
