Islamic mysticism has the power to express indirectly and symbolically the truths and Muslim poets have used this power. The present article tries to study the poem of “Bokaeiya ela Hafez Al- Shirazi”, composed by Abdolvahab al-Bayati, and to compare it with the mystical symbols used in Hafez's poems. Based on the principles of French school of comparative literature and analytical-descriptive method, the authors have come to this conclusion that Bayati has used some of mystical symbols of Hafez's poems, symbols like cup, bowl, wine, fawn, cage, and wine – house. For both poets, nature is a suitable space for meditation on the nature of God; they have chosen their symbols from the elements of the nature. In other words, Hafez and Bayati used these symbols not in their real meaning but only in their figurative meaning.
