Abstract :

Abhar al-Ashqeen, which is one of the most important books of Sufism in Persian language, is a book in which the movement of language on the axis of similarities is very remarkable. This outstanding feature (movement of language based on similarity that highlights the metaphorical pole of language) has made the linguistic identification of this text remarkable. Metaphor plays an essential role in explaining Rozbahan's thoughts and mentalities. Roozbahan turns to the best form of imagination, metaphor, to express abstract and abstract concepts, whose expression and explanation inevitably leads to complexity. Our goal in writing this article is to examine two conceptual metaphors in Ebhar al-Ashqin, which are fundamental and basic in Rozbahan's aesthetic thought.The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting research data is library.Finding.Among Rozbahan's innovative and non-inventive metaphors, the author has analyzed two major cognitive metaphors, the two metaphors of "mine" and "actions", which are influenced by Rozbahan's thought and method of aestheticism.The cognitive metaphor of the mine, which represents the thought world of Rozbahan, has its roots in his intellectual system and the way of aestheticism. It is a metaphor mine of beauty and eternal eternal love of God Almighty, which is generally placed by Roozbahan in front of the world of Hadad. Mine refers to the essence of divine attributes before the appearance of physical forms.Verbs are also rooted in the broad concept of divine manifestations, which has a long history in mysticism, but the art of writing and the creativity of Rozbahan's mind in paying this big metaphor is due to the linguistic imagery that has been reproduced.
