Different types of similie satires in Hadigheh-e-sanaee

Regarding the fact that in mysticism literature the language of simile has been utilized as the most principal ways to represent the ideas, and dealing with stories and narrations touching the social lives of human beings could simplify the understanding of mysticism literature, the authors of great Persian literature works have benefited from different stories to compose their works in the form of irony. Also, Sanaee is known as the very first poet who has utilized irony to serve mysticism and has been able to represent mystic and moral thoughts using several ironies and stories and narrations. In the present research done using a descriptive-analytic method, first we have dealt with simile and irony and have investigated about different samples of similes in the poems of Sanaee. Findings showed that the titles of similes composed by Sanaee, mostly using stories and narrations, consisted of concepts such as simile, social, moral, religious, and mystic understanding and his heroes were both human and animal characters.
