Abstract :
Love is the most important theme which has entered into the mystical poetry from the early poems and with an unusual concept, became one of the most significant terms. Along with this word, many other words relevant to it – by which the beloved is described – and also such words as wine, pot-house, etc. with the metaphorical and figurative meaning entered into the mystical poetry. The comparison of Love and Wine is the first phase of formation of the mystical meaning of wine, and this comparison motivated such poets as 'Abd- al Rahman Jami to apply "wine" for the expression of themes like cosmic and eternal love. Many treaties and papers are written on the theme of Love and its phases and also about the viewpoints of the poets of different eras, but because the image of spiritual wine in Jami's works is not so much noticed, this article is to review this theme depend on his Divan, Ashe'at al- Lama'at, Lawame' and Lawayeh. The words related to the above mentioned theme in Jami's Ghazals and his other works are excellently and wonderfully applied and indicate his perception of mystical and divine love
