Reading the figurative language of Mathnavi Mowlavi's "Neynameh" based on Celena Kusch's "close reading" method

The aim of this study is to read the figurative language of Mathnavi Mowlavi's "Neynameh" based on Celena Kusch's "close reading" method. An approach that in addition to interpreting linguistic details and their interrelationships also requires the analysis of other variables such as context, intertextuality, narrative and text genre. This article tries to answer these questions in a descriptive-analytical way. What is the poet's strategy in using figurative language in Mathnavi's "Neynameh"? What is the function of each figurative in achieving the goals of this text and its overall coherence? The results prove that the figures used in Neynameh fall into two general groups during a coherent process: 1) related to "Beshnow"; 2) related to "Ney"; the first group, with increasing music, urges the audience to "listen"; demonstrates the principle of unity in plurality; and the second group, manifestations of self- empty, the struggle of the soul for freedom from the cage, the virtual of our world; The being incomprehensible of love and so on.
