Abstract

Mowlānā’s poetry is significantly different from Persian poetic traditions and the works of other poets. His works convey complex and wonderful meanings specially when they address the experience of disappearance and unawareness. This experience, together with the experience of a revelational context in the opening of speeches in Mowlānā’s Diwān, makes some of his dramatizations extremely wonderful. Meanings sometimes become so complicated that one cannot assign a definite meaning to a piece of his work. Unfelt and emotional meanings are sometimes so rich that one confuses the addressor and the addressee. Mowlānā’s perplexing mystic experiences have given rise to poems unparalleled in works before and after him. This paper distinguishes two semantic and syntactic forms in Mowlānā’s sonnets and analyses their characteristics. It also attempts to uncover deep meanings in some of his selected poems.
