Rumi and Havez are both Persian lyric poets. Their works are similar and both engage their connection with God and love. Also, their poetry consists of metaphors. For example, Rumi in his work “The Question”, says about the fire as something difficult and anxious and if you face it, you will purify after accomplishments. For Havez, the metaphorical representation is connected with alcohol and love of union with God.
