Passing on "allegory" in the Masnavi of Talib Ali Khan Lokhanawi, called 'Eishi'

Allegory is one of the most important and most ancient rhetorical methods in Persian literature and the social culture of the world. It covers a large volume of educational literature due to its semantic capacity and the function of discourse. The allegory in Persian manuscripts has a cultural-literary, sustainable and continuous approach. In this article, introducing the version of "The General Divan of Talib Ali Khan called Eishei" of 1232 AH, we will bring new examples of his allegories. Eishei was born in 1197 and at the age of 35 he wrote "Urdu Diwan" and "Persian General". The Persian version has been written into Nastaliq's font. In spite of the impeachment of the Ahlul Bayt and very Imams (PBUH), it can be understood that Talib Ali Khan ('Eishei') is a devout poet and a Shiite religious scholar with a mystical role. The poet has been able in allegorical tales. This speech, for the first time, examines allegories in 2161 bits of Masnavi. Based on the writers' compilation, over 200 allegories and its variants have been published, most notably the "Four Friends" Masnavi, which we have dealt with as an allegorical story. This research by analytical-librarian method can prove the cultural interaction of the subcontinent with the Persian language and add to the culture of the Persian allegories abroad.
