Heydari wojudi is one of the Afghanistan greatest modern mystic poets; His poetical work is considered the most valuable mystical work that was written in all poetic formats (except the contemporary one) and has achieved an important and prominent position in the field of mysticism. One of the fundamental issues in mysticism is the confrontation between wisdom and love; therefore, it is necessary to examine this important issue in his poetry. The general purpose of this research was to get an answer to this question: What is Heydari's existential view about wisdom and love? This research is based on the objective, fundamental, qualitative data, and on analytical-critical method. The findings of the research show that: "confrontation of wisdom and love" in existential poetry is clear. He categorized the wisdom into two categories: partial and faith (love), and he believes that the partial wisdom is illusory, it cannot know the truth; therefore, it is not possible to know the truth only with the wisdom of faith (love); it is also believed that it is not possible to understand the truth through analogy and reasoning because the source of wisdom is reason, and reason is influenced by its surroundings.
