What influence did Arabic have on Persian poetry? We see many great persian muslim poets coming in the middle ages. I heard even Shakespeare himself was influenced by Rumi. But what is the contribution of Arabic on persian literature?

Except for epic poetry Persian poetry is Arabic poetry in another language.

Are you joking Suren??? Without the influence of Arabic (and before Aramaic) Persian would be like a bird without wings.

Which specific Arabic poetry are you referring to? Can you give a few examples of Arab poets whose work you have read?

At least one half of Modern Persian words have Arabic origins and I think there is almost no doubt that some poetic forms such as Ghazal, Qasida, .. came from pre-Islamic Arabs.
