Literary texts bear textual resemblance and similarity among themselves; and they influence each other lingually, rhythmically and sementically. Literature symbolises a streamline wherein there exists no turbulence. Every text is absorbed and transformed into another text. In other words, literary texts which come into being depend on mental creativity of an author. These texts are influenced by the ancient texts by making certain changes in them and by breaking the norms and making new innovative approaches. At times, poets and writers in the course of creating their works cross the limits of being influenced to the extent that they seem to emulate the previous text to the extent of similarity in words and their meanings. Many poets who have appreciated sonnets of Hafiz are also related in the same manner. Apart from the Iranian poets, many poets across the borders have also considered the sonnets of Hafiz and have followed them. From these persian poets stands Valaiee Haider Abadi. The main theme of this article is to study the textual resemblance of both Valaiee Haider Abadi and Hafiz.

The reflection of poetry and thoughts of Hafiz is observed in the poetry of his successor poets. But this influence varies in their poetry. However, we can surely claim and prove that Zeybonnesa is among the few poets who has been influenced by Hafiz in all poetical aspects. For example the rhythm, rhyme, and rhyming lines in most of her sonnets are in harmony with those of Hafiz. Words and syntax of their sonnets are at times similar and at times there exists minute difference between them. Among their poetical thoughts there are also many identical or similar stances. 

Character is the term used for collective instincts, inclinations, qualities and habits of an individual, which means a collection of materialistic, spiritual and ethical qualities which is a process of joint action of basic fundamentals, hereditary characteristics and acquired disposition which appears in an individuals behavior, action, speech and thought which differentiates him from the other individuals(Younisi 1382,289).Literary work is also like a mirror which reflects the personality of the author, and like this the reader makes way to the author’s inner world. Character has been divided into several divisions such as: primary and secondary, stationary and current, simple and comprehensive etc. For example the characters in ‘Jaye khali Saloch’ are not static and motionless, and act dissimilarly in proportion to their age and social surroundings.The author of this article on one hand has tried to analyse the various aspects of the different characters in the novel ‘Jaye khali Saloch’ and on the other hand has tried to apparently show the linkage of other different elements such as speech, time, place and scene with the characters.
