Sufism played a great role in the classical Persian literature which flourished from the tenth century to the fifteenth century. We may regard a poet to be a Sufi by nature and a Sufi is incomplete without ecstacies of a poet.The first Persian Sufi poet was Abu Said Abi'l Khair who employed ruba'i form as a mode of Sufi expression. Sanai, Attar, Rumi and Jami expressed Sufism chiefly in mathnavi form.Persian Sufism found its highest expression in ghazal, the greatest exponent of which was Hafiz.The conventional symbolic language is characteristic of Sufi poetry. It is said that every object mentioned by Sufi poets is typal of some philosophic or Sufi conception.In this article I divided Sufi symbolic terms into the following five categories chiefly based on the great Sufi poet Iraqi's work.(A) Terms on the parts of human body.(B) Terms on wine(C) Terms on religion.(D) Terms on plants.(E) Terms on nature.(F) Terms on love.
