Comparison of Semantic Use of “Simorgh” in “Mantegholteir” of Attar and Masnavi of “Mowlana” Relying on Practical Mysticism

The subject of this article is the comparison of semantic use of “Simorgh” in “Mantegholteir” of Attar and “Masnavi” of “Mowlana”. Attar and Mowlana, two Persian poets, use  “Simorgh” ( an imaginary bird, literally meaning ‘thirty chickens’) in order to infuse their mystic thoughts into their readers minds well. Here, “Simorgh” is introduced as a mythical bird which possesses a special position in mystic literature. “Simorgh” and the mountain of “GHaaf” in “Mantegholteir” of  Attar and “Masnavi”  of “Mowlana” are among well-known  mystic allusions. Relying on their mystic mysteries in their books,  both Attar and Mowlana use “Simorgh” to mention their transcendental  intellectual and mystic  ideas  in mind.
