The fact that Khagani has been affected by his mother culture and has used a plenty of Christian words arouses the question whether Nezami has also been under the influence of his mother s culture or not.
The aim of this descriptive study is to survey the issue in two of Nezami’s works, namley "Haft Paykar" and "Khosro-Shirin". To do so, the words, combined words, ironies, allegories, sayings, and other literary devices of the mentioned works have been extracted. The data have been surveyed using a content analysis and library approach. The result of the research which is a positive answer to the question of the study shows that by this study one can comprehend these two works better.
