Although it is too difficult to clarify and reveal love in brief, mystical love is the love a separate self-cultivates towards that pure nexus of reality, lover finds himself mesmerized by its subtlety and beauty, and finds himself ultimately dissolved in its ineffableness. Love is a response to the riddle of human existence and a complete answer to his deepest need to overcome freedom and release from his own prison. The theme of love in Shakespeare’s sonnet is very close to Persian literary texts. Rumi’s poetry is one of the best manifestations of the emergence of love, and this love can be compared in some ways to Shakespeare’s love. Shakespeare and Rumi portray unified ideas beyond the difference between language and nature. They are the common language of mankind; the root of their works is love, and the concept of love, as the deepest and most fundamental desire of men, is evident in their poems. In this study we attempt to adapt the concept of love in the poems of these two world poets.
