Employing symbols in Persian poetry traces back to old times. The symbolic poems besides their apparent meaning, possess hidden meaning too. Therefore, from very beginning to divulge these hidden meanings, certain efforts have been made. Nima Youshij is one of the prominent contemporary poets who under the influence of French Poets has shown a special interest in symbol and symbolism. “It is night” is one of the symbolic poems belonging to the years after 1937, when he has tried to send his messages and express his ideas to special social groups, because of the social and political suffocating conditions of his time. Due to its structure and the symbols like “night”, “cloud”, “wind” and “air” which are established natural symbols in Nima’s poetry, this poem has produced a symbolic condition, so that the interpreters by the help of newly hermeneutics findings could discover its meaning. In the present article, on the basis of the knowledge of hermeneutics, the writer has offered two possible hermeneutics views for the Nima’s “It Is Night”.
