The Mongol invasion and overthrow of the Khawrazm Shāh Daynasty, caused him to be seenas a blamed figure by the historians and researchers of Iranian history. What seems to be the common tendency towards Khawrazm Shāh, appears to be different in Mathnavi Ma’nvi and unlike the historians, Khawrazm Shāh is a respected figure to the Poet (Mawlana).
This study tries to investigate the different attitudes of the poet towards the King by analysing several factors such as the personal reasons of the poet, lexical elements in the story, narrative origins and the changes in the original story. The article scrutinizes the mystical poetry about the defunct King according hased on the historical context of the original events and on the historical and political context of the dates when the poetry was written.
