خلاصة:
In the last one or two centuries, in Iran (Constitutional era) and Egypt (Nahda era), we have witnessed major transformations in political, social, cultural, etc., fields, which occurred especially as a result of familiarity with the West and the achievements of the Western world. The genealogy of these transformations leads us to shared experiences, similar tendencies, and commonalities. In this context, Egyptian and Iranian poets were among the social classes that emerged and played a role as social reformers within the context of their ecosystem's transformations. Seyyed Ashraf al-Din Gilani and Mahmoud Sami al-Baroudi are among the poets who placed poetry at the service of reforming their society's affairs. The present article, using an American comparative literature approach, aims to analyze the similarities of the concepts presented in the poetry of these two poets in the field of sociology. In general, it can be said that the shared social pains and concerns of Nasim-e Shomal and al-Baroudi are reflected in their poems in topics such as encouraging people toward scholarship and fighting ignorance, archaism, struggle against foreigners, justice-seeking, law, awareness-raising, and the awakening of the people, etc., the detailed form of which will be presented in the article.

In general, it can be said that the shared social pains and concerns of Nasim Shomal and al-Barudi are reflected in their poems in topics such as encouraging people to seek knowledge and fighting ignorance, traditionalism, struggle against foreigners, justice-seeking, law, awareness-raising and public awakening, etc.
In this regard, for example, poets such as Sayyid Ashraf al-Din Husayni Gilani in Iran and Mahmoud Sami al-Barudi in Egypt represent the transition from the ancient era to the modern era and the reflection of social relations resulting from the revolution.
Given the importance of comparative literature in revealing many dark aspects of the literatures of different nations through the comparison of poets with one another, it seems that a comparative study of Sayyid Ashraf al-Din Husayni Gilani and Mahmoud Sami al-Barudi will guide us in discovering many concepts of the literature of these two nations in the contemporary era; as "the function of comparison is to examine the similarities and differences of a specific literary genre in two national literatures" (Anoushirvani, 1391: 5).
The results of the present article reinforce the hypothesis that, due to political, social, and cultural commonalities, the scope of research can be expanded to examine, from various angles, the poetry of the poets of the Nahda era in the Arab world and the poets of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran, and through a comparative perspective, better recognize the standard and value of one's own national literature.
