Abstract
Onsori is one of the greatest poets in composing odes and eulogy. He was the poet laureate of the court of Mahmoud Ghaznavi through whom other poets presented their poems to the court. Due to his familiarity with Arabic literature, many of his themes are derived from the Arab poets especially Motanabi.
The present study examines some common themes and images in the Divans of the two poets.
