Abstract

The "occult language'' has many semantic, rhetorical and linguistic enchantments, by which he has gained many readers and fans and has inspired many researchers to conduct numerous researches about the secrets of these globalizer and immortalizing charms. Contrary to the abundance of these researches, it seems that there are still undiscovered secrets and unknown codes about the permanent effectiveness of Hafez poems to consider. Reflecting on Hafez poems, especially the verses that are more capable of interpretation, indicates that in some of these verses, a common noun is the center and basis of extensive interpretations. Studying examples like this and comparing about seventy verses that are apparently similar, indicates a linguistic trick in which, the central word with two grammatical features, in a simple application, without the complications caused by the interference and influence of industries, proves the ground for various meta-linguistic, trans-temporal and trans-spatial interpretations, according to the scope of its meaning. The use of this method in verses of the Quran shows that Hafez follows the miracles of the verses of the Qur'an, both in terms and in strategy, of this simple and magical method.
