Abstract :
Chenisernameh is a lyric and semi-popular poetry in the minds of the Iranian people, imitating Khosrow and Shirin of Nizami in a thousand verses from the 11th century poet named Mr. Edraki Biglari. The subject of this fascinating and popular poetry is the story of Leila and Cheniser Shah along with very interesting and purposeful events. It was necessary to study, explore and adapt some of the dimensions of the mentioned works, that is, the considerable existence of allegory in this story, to further explore the horizon of thought of this poet. In this poetry, allegory is mystical and symbolic and the poet's attitude to this category is descriptive-analytical and a library with the aim of reminding the value and ability of allegory in expressing one or more mystical or moral concepts and explaining the desired result of this poet. In the poetry, he pursues a specific purpose and also identifies the lyrical story of Chenisernameh. According to the research questions and hypotheses, the reason for Biglari's perceptual tendency to the category of allegory in the lyric poetry of Chenisernameh is metaphorical, mystical and symbolic, but sometimes it is obligatory and that is when the poet can not express his intellectual concepts easily. In the field of stylistics, in a small number of verses, allegory is sometimes presented in the style of Indian allegorical ghazal, and more precisely, this is a Mathnawi poetry that the poet used both Khorasani and Iraqi styles to compose it during Indian periods, meaning that this ghazal is not an Indian style that the poet mentions in every verse in the first stanza of allegory or in the second stanza of allegory.
