This article examines the influence of classical Persian literature on English literary traditions, focusing on how English translations of renowned Persian works, such as those by Hafiz Sherozi, Abdurahman Jami, and Omar Khayyam, have enriched English literature. While the incorporation of oriental themes has been explored in previous studies, a gap remains in understanding how these translations impact thematic development and narrative style in English literature. The study aims to analyze the stylistic and cultural adaptations in English translations of Persian texts. Using a comparative literary analysis, the research highlights the translation techniques employed and their implications for cross-cultural literary enrichment. Findings reveal that these translations not only preserve the essence of Persian literature but also introduce new narrative elements into English literature, expanding its thematic and stylistic diversity. This study contributes to literary translation studies and enhances appreciation for cross-cultural literary exchange.
