AbstractNafthat-Al-Masdur is one of the most renowned masterpieces of technical andartistic prose in the field of Persian language and literature that ShihaboddinMohammad Khorandezi zeydari Nasawi has written in the description of thetragedies of Jalal al-din Khwarazmshah during the Mongol invasion.Thisbook has a generous and passionate language that the author has devoted a lotto the use of arrays, expressions, verses, hadiths, and Arabic vocabulary andexpressions.The question here is as follows: ʿHas the author followed aparticular pattern in using figures of speech, or has used these elements solelyfor the verbal and spiritual arrangement of his words?’. To answer thisquestion we should say that the technical language of this work seems to havea coherence and a pattern in it and the author follows the pattern of choosingtechnical, verbal and artistic arrays. On the one hand, he used ironies andsimiles far more than metaphor and trope, and on the other hand, followingthe same pattern he chooses Saj and Pun and uses them for the creation ofmusical language of his work. In the intellectual domain, the use ofexaggeration, assurance, and allusion, which are similar to simile, has madethe similarity of the language of Nafthat-Al-Masdurstronger.Keywords: Nafthat-Al-Masdur, Figures of Speech and Expressions,Deep Construction, Homogeneity, Equivalence.24 Persian Language and Literature, Vol. 71, Issue 238, Fall & Winter 2018- 2019Discussion and conclusionFamiliarity with the profound and constructive method of a poet and awriter's language has a significant effect on recognizing his work, howto read the text, and creating a dynamic connection with it. It is alsoeffective on the discovering of relationship among its constituents inthree phases of phoneme, lexicon and the syntax found in that work, aswell as its psychological dimensions.The language of Nafthat-Al-Masdur in two phases of Figures ofSpeech and Expressions is profoundly similar, in the sense thatsimilarity is the main factor in the selection of words and theirarrangement in the synchronic language. This parallelism pattern in therhetorical domain has made the two methods of Saj and Pun aprominent factor in the language. Hence the phonetic consistencybetween the lexicon creates a sound and sorrow that was caused by theMongol invasion of Iran, and in line with this music, in the spiritualdomain, the exaggerated words of the writer has been a reflection ofsimile in his work. The language of the Nafthat-Al-Masdurinexpressing and application of its array is also subject to the similaritypattern governing this work and its psychological effect is doubled.Zeydari prefers ironies and similes more than metaphor and trope.Because the profound construction of simile, like Saj and Punand ...,isbased on similes while metaphor and trope and other exemplary verbalarrays have the same profound construction.The reason for choosing this method of expression in Nafthat-AlMasdur is, on the one hand, the greater and better impact on theaudience, understanding of the real nature of the Mongol invasion usingthe music derived from the phonetic similarity, and ultimatelyemancipation from the sadness that dictates the soul and heart of theauthor. And this is also quite evident from the name of the work, whichmeans "it leaves out what it does with pulmonary disease, from thesputum and itself to make it a little relaxing."
