Аннотация:There are two different texts in the literary works of famous Persian poet, religious philosofer an treveller of 11th century Nasir-i Khusraw in wich he described the rites of traditional Muslim Pilgrimage (hadjj). In his book of “Safar-nama” Nasir gave all nesessery practical details for pilgrims arriving to Mecca: he named all the places in the city connected with the key rites of hadjj. The well known qasida of the same author gives quite different view to the Pilgrimage. Naming the same places in the same order the poet attracted attention to the inner meaning of rites. In the form of dialog with a friend who had come back from Mecca, Nasir-i Khusraw gave his own understanding of the main goal of Pilgrimage in a subjective and rather emotional manner.
