Abstract

Abolmajd Majdod Ebn Adam, called Sanaei Gaznavi, is an epoch maker and owner of a distinct style living in the 6th and 7th centuries. Due to his complex mind and the specific circumstances in which he lived, Sanaei attained innovative semantic and stylistic achievements which made him known as a poet with a unique style, and an imitator of Persian mystic poetry. Even though we know very little about his life, his use of the hidden pseudonym Rahi, which is so frequent in his poetry, provides the reader with a clue to his personality. This paper is an attempt to reveal this secret.

Keywords: Sanaei Ghaznavi, Rahi.
