Abstract
The paper examines the characters of Jalal-ud-din Rumi’s Shams and William
Blake’s Milton with reference to their contribution in the spiritual and poetic
development of Rumi and Blake and to find out similarities in their inspirational
roles. Zepetnek’s approach of inclusion has been followed to make functional
comparison of both characters. The paper is focused on discovering affinities in
two sections. At first, both characters are judged as spiritual inspiration and
secondly, their inspirational function in poetic development of Rumi and Blake. It
has been concluded that in spite of belonging to different languages, religious
communities, and different historical periods both figures have performed almost
identical role in the life of Jalal-ud-din Rumi and William Blake.
