Summary/Abstract: Interactional relations of various communities within a uniform Islamic civilization may be a very interesting subject of scientific consideration of literature in different languages in close encounters. Casting light on the interest of Arab researchers for classical Persian poetry in such a context is justified for so many reasons. It is surprising that so little from the Persian literature is translated into Arabic. There are many reasons to it, and they come primarily from historical and civilizational specific circumstances in which processes of exerting and accepting cultural influence took place inside communities integrated in the Islamic civilization. Although Persian speakers contributed immeasurably to the uniform Islamic thought, nurtured under the aegis of Arabic, modern Arabic researchers do not give attention it deserves. Since Arab researchers mostly favor classical Persian poets, mostly covered by European orientalists, one can safely assume that Arab researchers follow orientalists. Such an impression is convincingly supported by a fact that Arab researchers mainly covered Hafiz Shirazi alongside with Rumi and Saadi Shirazi.
