Narrative parable (allegory) is a story in poetry or prose which has two meaning: primary or outward and secondary and inward meaning which is below the outward layer. Fable is one type of allegory and consist in a short tale- whether in poetry or prose- which is intended to convey amoral lesson. Characters in fable are often animals; but inanimate objects, humans and gods may also be presented in that. Fable in the Persian theosophical parables also has been used for expressing theoretical theosophy concepts and practical theosophy orders.Amongst artistic aspects of Molavi's work in the Shams's lyrics is employment of the narrative parables; there are 16 fables among these narrative parables; these fables in terms of structure and form are two types: 1. Fables with storied action and operation (6), 2. Fables in the form of dialogue or scenic story (10). These fables have the same theme and structure in terms of processing and simplicity and brevity is their outstanding feature. 4 of the Molavi's fables are moral- theosophical parable and 10 fables are parable of theoretical theosophy concepts and 2 fables are parable of Kalam (Islamic Philosophy) thoughts.
