Due to its current and global context, Poetry arises from the poets’ unconsciousness, the issue that Nizami has implicitly and explicitly referred to in his poems. It has been tried, through this article to survey the inspirational or creative essence of poetry in Nizami’s viewpoints. He believed that the process of artistic creativity - including poetry - would be performed in two modes, i.e. inspiration and creativity. He also believed that there exists no pure inspirational or creative poetry. The sequence of poems, include the aforementioned contents, shows that the origin of poetry is inspiration but it would be brought to perfection through edition and modification. Furthermore, religious and cosmological changes, and as a result, social and cultural evolutions have made several differences between Nizmi’s inspiration sources with the other poets’, the case that is going to be analysed in present article.
