Abstract :

Symbol, or sign, stands for something more than what it is. Nezami has been the first poet who has paid attention to the symbols manifesting the mystery of poet’s heart through symbol. He has abundantly used the water symbolism as means of expressing the deep mysteries of Makhzan-ul-Asrar. In his words, there is a kind of interrelationship and prebuilt similarity between words and meanings. In this article, an attempt is made to trace the symbolic significance of water as symbol of honor, sky, world, wine and existence.
