Hakim Abul-Majd Majdūd ibn Ādam Sanā'ī Ghaznavi, is often characterized as the "ingenious poet". Using satire in mystical texts is the technique can be considered as one of his inventions, what had already been used in socio-critical texts. Theosophists, after Sanā'ī Ghaznavi, have frequently utilized this approach to teach moral aspects. To find satirical techniques applied by Sanā'ī Ghaznavi (467-529 or 545A.H.), in this paper, as well as expressing his purpose to teach ethical, moral and spiritual lessons in his masnavi, "Hadiqat Al-Haqiqa"; we initially introduce a general definition of irony and satire and their conventional techniques, and then, we will review and classify the features of Sufi language. At the end, the Hadiqa stories, their humors, messages of mystical techniques, and their moral and philosophical analyses will be expressed, if available. Summarizing and understanding the mystical, wise, moral and satirical messages of Hadiqa as well as the special language for which Sanā'ī Ghaznavi attempted to reach are all the results would be obtained out of present study.
