Afzalodin Badil Khaghani Shervani and Nezami Ganjavi are two major stylist poets who had profound influences on later poets. Most of the Khaghani’s poems are lucid and uncomplicated; but many ordinary people, and sometimes some of educated ones find it hard to understand some of his ballades because of different linguistic combinations and scientific terms he used in them. Although, what makes his poetry hardly comprehended is his tendency to use different Quranic verses, Islamic cognitions, stories of the prophets, and especially rare allusions to Islamic events and sources. The diversity of allegorical sources in prophets stories roots back to Khaghani’s vast information about Quran, interpretation of Quranic concepts and hadith and above all, to his powerful imagination. Using the stories of the prophets, he goes beyond the stories of Quran and interprets them referring other sources. Concentrating on different researches have been conducted by scholars on Khaghani, present article attempts to study two allusions have been used in his Divan.
