BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hadiqah al-Haqiqah and Asrarnameh are two poems among the mystical and didactic poems of Sanai and Attar. The main goal of this research is to analyze the tone as one of the story elements and its types and functions, considering the narrative structure of Hadiqah al-Haqiqah and Asrarnameh, which is composed of different anecdotes.

In order to achieve reliable results, a systematic and systematic analysis and evaluation of the research has been carried out based on statistical sampling.

FINDINGS: The findings of the research indicate that Sanaei and Attar have used the element of tone in Hadiqah al-Haqiqah and Asrarnameh in order to strengthen the narrative and atmosphere in the stories of these two systems, and it is possible to observe different types of tones with different functions in both systems.

CONCLUSION: In both Hadiqah al-Haqiqah Sanai and Asrarnameh Attar, due to its educational, moral, instructive and mystical narrative structure, the frequency of preachy and assertive tone is higher than other types of tones. Sanai and Attar have used other types of tone, such as boasting, warning and persuasion, in addition to using a decisive and preachy tone. The tone techniques of Sanai and Attar to create a suitable atmosphere including sounds, words, pictures and weight are also factors of strengthening the tone in both masnavis.
