While analysing the works of the poets of the Transcaucasian and Isfahan poetic schools (Qatran Tabrizi, Sharaf ad-Din Shufurva, Jamal ad-Din and Kamal Ismail Isfahani), the author concludes that these descriptions are based on the most ancient mythological models, in particular, the mythologeme about the destruction of the world, and the traditional motives of the Persian poetry were the sources of figurativeness for them. The participation of the motives describing natural disasters in the formation of the shahrashub genre is also revealed, which is important in the light of studying the Persian poetic genres system evolution.
